Photo storage has always been an issue for me. I simply just do not trust electronics after an incident that happened one year in college. I lost an entire semester's worth of work on my USB drive. It was there one minute, then POOF, the next it was gone. I was devastated, to say the least. I never really recovered from that incident, as I backup my files, especially the important ones, on more than one source. I have an external hard drive where ...

When making holiday cookies turns disastrous…
I don't think an emergency trip to the doctor is suppose to be part of a cookie-making routine. I posted a few days back that I was planning on making holiday cookies with my toddler, and I went out and purchased a bunch of cookie cutters and fun sprinkles for our baking day. Yesterday was the special day and we prepared all morning. Once our dough was done chilling in the fridge, cookie magic was going to take place. My daughter had other ...
Earth’s Best Smoothies Review
My little girl was always really picky when it came to fruits. She never cared for jarred fruit, and she didn't have teeth until she was 18 months old, so large pieces of fresh fruit were out of the question. I would have to give her fruits that were easy to mash, such as bananas, mangoes, blueberries and kiwis until she was ready to take bites out of pears and apples. The packaged fruit smoothies didn't come out until she was completely done ...

Get relief for your tired, achy feet!
My hubby often comes home and asks me to rub his feet. I don't mind this at all, but we have tried to find an explanation and a few different solutions for his consistent pain. From podiatrists to shoe insoles, nothing has helped him find any relief. I feel his pain - when I was a teacher and on my feet all day long, my feet would ache by the end of the day. Now that he is teaching and always on his feet, it seems his condition has ...

How do your deal with your skin? (CosMedix Giveaway!)
Being in my late 20s, I guess it is time for me to start thinking about my skin and taking better care of it. I just recently discovered freckles all over my face and I'm thinking they are more on the line of "age spots" than they are just your plain old run of the mill "freckles." For my own sanity, let's just call them freckles... I haven't been very nice to my skin. It all started in high school when I developed terrible acne. I popped, ...
Holiday Gift Guide: Hallmark Interactive Storybooks and Story Buddies
When you think of holiday items, ornaments, cards, and gifts, one brand that may come to mind most of the time is Hallmark. Since my daughter was born, we have made it tradition to visit Hallmark during the holidays and pick out a new ornament each year. Last year she picked out Winnie the Pooh on her own, the year before my husband chose a Baby's First Christmas ornament. It is coming up on that time of year where we will make a visit to pick ...
