Who wants to admit losing their hair? Not my husband. He's aware of his increasingly receding hair line, and has been for years, but at the same time he's in denial, hoping it won't get worse. It wasn't until this past summer that I caught a glimpse of some bald spots on his head. Since he's almost a foot taller than me, it's not often I see the top of his head.

Nothing Like A Visit to @Outback! Enter to Win a $50 Gift Card!
My husband and I have been back and forth with whether or not my youngest daughter was able to handle going out to dinner with us. She can be quite rambunctious and active, so a nice, quite restaurant was out of the question. What we needed was a place with kid-friendly options. After taking our youngest to one of our long-term favorite places, Outback Steakhouse this weekend, we knew we would be back again. The girls both had a great time, ...
Small Steps to a Healthier 2015 #LittleChanges #IC #Sponsored
A lot of things changed when I had kids, including the foods I ate and my definition of snacks. In play groups with my first child, I was always the parent that brought fresh fruit and veggies along with us while other parents opted for dry and/or processed snacks. I wanted to give my daughter the best start possible, and instilling proper habits was what I wanted to accomplish. Fast forward 5 years and another child later, packing ...

Fashion Doll Delightful Dollhouse from American Plastic Toys Review! #HolidayGiftGuide2014
My girls have moments between being great toy sharers and fighting over who is going to play with a toy. Usually they want the same toy at the same time, and have been caught wrestling over a sticker. Yes, children can be quite petty, but we find a way through it and try to find a earning experience out of their arguing. There are many different types of children's toys. Outdoor play equipment, kids swing sets and dollhouses are just some of the ...
Having GoodNites® Leads to Good Mornings! #UnderwearCompare
Potty training my first daughter was a breeze, but my second daughter was quite the stubborn one. Despite a few setbacks, using the potty during the day is no problem for her now. What I didn't foresee was the occasional bed wetting incidents she has experiences. We didn't experience bed wetting issues with my oldest, but as they say, every child is different! I feel that putting my child in a diaper at night time for those "just in case" moments ...
Create the perfect holiday meal with Calphalon
The holidays are all about family get togethers and some good food! We can all agree that this time of year we allow ourselves some leeway when it comes to enjoying our favorite foods and home cooking takes the lead. Having the proper tools in the kitchen is a must, especially if you host annual holiday dinners, like myself. This is the time of year I always wish I had one more casserole, one more pot, or a whisk that isn't completely bent from ...
