May 8, 2019 By Lauren 1 Comment

This post was sponsored by Topgolf of Mount Laurel, NJ. My family and I received a free visit to Topgolf in exchange for my honest review. My family and I aren't golfers, but we had an awesome time golfing this past Sunday at TopGolf in Mount, Laurel, NJ. Topgolf is a top-notch entertainment center for all ages that has locations across the U.S. The concept of Topgolf is really a lot of fun -- when you play at Topgolf, your family or party is assigned a hitting bay, much like you get a lane when going to a bowling alley.

Lemon Gingerbread Easter Cookies

April 7, 2019 By Lauren 2 Comments

Thanks to Ann Clark for providing Mom Home Guide with the quality cookie cutters used in this post. My teen daughters and I made gingerbread cookies for the first time ever last Christmas.

I reached out to Ann Clark, a Vermont-based maker of tin-plated steel cookie cutters. All cookie cutters are made from USA-made tin plated steel and are certified food safe.
