When I got married and moved out of my parents house, I made the decision to leave my precious kitty, Phoebe with them. She was adopted when she was just a kitten and was already 7 years old, so I didn't want to take her to a new home, away from the rest of the family she grew up with.

Did you have a honeymoon mishap? #CystexBurningLove
It seems that honeymoons are portrayed as a lover's paradise getaway. The time to celebrate your love and relish in all the new things that come along with marriage. No one ever tells you about honeymoon mishaps when you are booking your seemingly dream vacation. Like when your tourist van breaks down in the desert, or when you find yourself lost on vacation. Since my husband and I could only take short vacations, we decided to break our ...

There are hundreds to collect, varying in levels of ...
Check Out the Walmart App and Enter to Win a Walmart Gift Card!
Maybe I'm not supermom. Maybe I just don't want to leave the house sometimes with two kids who can't seem to get along when we are in public. Thankfully technology has allowed me to shop with ease even for household basics.

Enter to Win a Safe Drive Anti-Collision Device for Your Car!
If you have ever driven a couple of kids around in your car, then you know they ask for the most random things at the most inconvenient times. "Mommy, I want a snack" "Mommy, I need a wipe" or, the one I most commonly hear from my motion-sick child: "Mooooooom, I'm going to throw up!" Seriously, some of my worst driving moments are when I have my kids in the car, and it really shouldn't be like that. We've all heard the term "Driving while under ...
