This week I’m all about educating myself! First it was coffee and now wine, I guess its a good thing I have time to read again and do the things I like. One thing I need to get a little more educated on is wine and that means everything from champagne to ice wine so I thought I would start off with one of the types that I don’t know much about. I’ve put together some information I came across online and I’m happy to share it with you all. Hope you enjoy! A Look At Champagne – Wine Wednesday…

New-age movies are great! It’s so much fun standing in line at the theater, breathing in the buttery popcorn smell, giddy with anticipation when a new movie is released. My kids get their fair share of Netflix and the new releases, but it warms my heart to hear them singing songs from movies back in the day like – “Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious” or “Tomorrow”. Hearing their little off-key renditions is the best music to my ears.

Wow, I can’t tell you how fast time is flying by already. It is crazy to think we’re almost at the middle of May! In just a few days we’ll be heading on a road trip to Calgary for LEGO® KidsFest, Cheyenne will be 8 and the end of school is near. I have to ask myself what have I been up to lately because it seems like I have been doing a horrible job at writing and sharing REAL content here. So I sat down this morning, since I was up at 5:30, thanks to my lovely three-year-old Dustin, and made…
I have to be honest I forgot Mother’s Day was this upcoming weekend I was so wound up in life I barely even knew it was May. Lots coming up in these next few weeks for the family! I also decided I might do a road trip to Las Vegas instead of flying this summer, but I still need to put a little more thought into that not sure how me solo with two kids and a dog will go….but back to Mother’s Day. It doesn’t take me much to get side tracked and lose my train of thought so…
I have to say I’ve missed writing these posts, I feel out of the loop. Ever since the Easter break, I keep forgetting to get back on and write all the things I’ve learned leading up to the Sunday NASCAR Race. The last post I wrote was for the Darlington Bojangles’ Southern 500. So this week I’m bringing back the Wife’s Guide to NASCAR Talladega.

I was shocked at the feedback I received from the 10 handy uses for baking soda, handy uses for vinegar and alternative uses for orange peels. I guess when you use something all the time you might forget that other people don’t. I had friends tell me I had been hiding the “baking soda secret” from them. I thought it would be fun to share some more “outside the box” uses for regular items in our cupboards.

I am a member of the Collective Bias® Social Fabric® Community. This shop has been compensated as part of a social shopper amplification for Collective Bias and its advertiser. As it gets close to the end of school and beginning of summer I find us getting out of touch with the important things like family. It seems like we are all busy doing one thing or another and don’t have time to sit down for a family dinner anymore. I think the secret to our happy family is the meals where we can sit down talk and just enjoy being together.…

A fun touch is painting rocks to label your rows, it is also a great way for the kids to contribute! …

Yesterday I had a fun chat with my girlfriend. The think I like most about chatting with her is it is simple and that’s what I am thankful for. Her and I connect on so many levels it is crazy sometimes. You probably all know that I am a huge believer in energy and the power of the universe and attracting what I put out there. A fun thing to play with that’s for sure! For me it all started with my month of mediation which was two years ago now. I can’t believe how time is flying by. Every now…

In March we went on a road trip to Moclips, WA where we got to spend some much needed time together as a family. We love exploring new places and finding a couple spots we would love to go back and tour some more. The favorite part of the vacation was realizing how lucky I am to have such great kids and a loving husband. I know mushy right. It seems like we are so wrapped up in our own schedules at home we don’t have a lot of dedicated family time anymore. I found out that Cheyenne really wanted to…

Last week was a fun race in Texas for the Duck Commander 500 even though the race was delayed by a day it was still fun to watch and see who ran the fastest car! #22 Joey Logano had a lot to prove so it was exciting to see him win the race.

Other than that this week for me is…
