The holidays are over and the next thing on people's minds besides how they are going to pay for that massive credit card bill is how they are going to lose all that weight they've accumulated in the past month! It's time to start making resolutions! The first step to losing weight is analyzing your food intake and creating a meal plan that incorporates all the foods you love, but in healthier portions. Next, think about your exercise routine (or ...

What are the holidays without a little wine?
My family doesn't really need a reason to have a glass of wine, but holiday meals really aren't complete without some vino on the table. Instead of bringing over holiday cookies to the various events we have this season, I like to bring over a bottle of red wine that I know the hostess will love. Since we have so many holiday parties to attend, it is not unusual for me to purchase a case of wine in November so that I always have a bottle on hand ...
Earth’s Best Flushable Wipes Review
My toddler is at that age where she is potty training (sort of.) She always asks to use the potty, sometimes she is successful, but she is not quite fully ready to make that transition out of her diapers (unfortunately.) When she is successful, she prefers baby wipes as opposed to toilet paper. Being that we have temperamental sewers, flushing wipes down the toilet is definitely not an option for us. I usually throw regular wipes in the garbage ...
Oregon Trail for Nintendo Wii Review
I can't believe my hubby has never played the old computer game, Oregon Trail. Now that it is making it's way back into our gaming systems, my husband has actually expressed interest in trying it out. We received a copy of Oregon Trail for Nintendo Wii to review and we both have very different views on it. The point of Oregon Trail is to take your family on a 2,000 mile journey from Independence Missouri to Oregon City during the 19th ...
Family Game Night 4 Review
Family Game Night just isn't what it use to be. I remember actually taking out board games and putting them together to prepare for a game. Since I got married, we have our own version of Family Game Night. Every Friday and/or Saturday we have a few cousins over. Usually we watch a movie, and most of the time, if no one has fallen asleep during the movie, we will play some Wii games. At first, everyone enjoyed playing games that get you out of ...
Kikk-Up the Holidays with Kikkoman (Giveaway)
Kikkoman is a household brand for us. I love stir fry (A LOT) and I love to experiment in the kitchen. While I'm not a fan of glazes, my hubby is, and he prefers his stir fry to have a saucy appeal to it. I have tried many recipes that included Kikkoman ingredients, such as the above mentioned stir fry which included Kikkoman soy sauce and the various flavors of teriyaki sauce, home made California Rolls and Thai Peanut Chicken using Kikkoman ...

Talking Cash Register Review
My toddler always totes around with me when I go to the supermarket. It is a routine trip for us and she knows the drill - you can't open it until we pay for it, and after the cashier passes the items through the scanner, we pay with that rectangular plastic card. She has become so fascinated with paying for items and swiping the card, that when we are home, she pretends to pay for her toys before she plays with them. One evening, she set up a ...
