Maddi’s 1st Care Package to China
Trying to decide what to put in Maddi’s first care package to China was actually quite nerve wracking for me. I’ve read a few things that say that they may or may not give the things to the intended child. And if they do give them to them, it’s sometimes not until just before you… [Continue Reading]
The NEW Food Guide Pyramid
I’ve seen a lot of coffee and wine ecard-ish things going around lately and it gave me an idea… What if I created a new food guide pyramid? So I did! And I think it’s genius if I do say so myself! What do you think?

My blogging buddy, Carrie, over at CarrieElle.com tagged me in a post she did today that was part of a link up over at Miss Elaine-ous Life about Old School Blogging and MySpace!

Meet Maddi (Madeline) Grace! We are super excited! As you know, we got a call, almost a month ago, asking if we’d be willing to look at the file of a little girl.

Ellie – Fitness Fashion
Fitness Meets Fashion So I’m not really a fashionista (by any stretch of the imagination), but I recently got a chance to try out some fashion exercise clothes and they were awesome!

Moscato Slushie – Summer Drink
I have discovered my new summer drink – a Moscato Slushie! I must admit that I like Moscato (in moderation, of course) so I don’t usually mix it with anything, but this little experiment was too good not to share. Over Memorial Day, we were invited to a party where they were serving strawberry daiquiris…. [Continue Reading]
Book Review: The Edge of Never
This is the first book in our Summer Reading 2013 Book-a-Week Challenge. I’m going to start off by saying that if cursing bothers you…this is NOT the book for you. Also, if bedroom scenes aren’t really your scene…then probably best to skip this one. If you’re still with me, then you’ll love it! The… [Continue Reading]
What the Heck is Gout & Why You Should Care

Let’s Talk About Religion
I very rarely talk about religion in any kind of large group or open forum, but today I’m going to make an exception. I was sent a book to review and I feel that it really has a good message to deliver, but that some may judge the whole thing by it’s title. So please… [Continue Reading]
Kids in the Kitchen: Limeade
Yesterday we went downtown to have lunch with my husband. Downtown restaurants aren’t very kid friendly usually…but they were very nice and tried to accommodate us by making just plain cheese quesadillas. Connor did choose to try the frog legs…so we let him. (We took a trip to Disney last Fall and discovered he likes… [Continue Reading]
