A Graduation Party on a Budget

Although we love to take in the warm summer sun, I always provide protection for me and my family from the sun's harmful rays. A lot of people forget to protect themselves from the sun when playing or relaxing close to home. Sure, we bring Continue reading...

Oscar’s Oasis Now on Netflix
This post is sponsored by Oscar's Oasis. All opinions expressed in this post are my own. When I was little, I watched cartoons like Wile E. Coyote and Road Runner, in which Wile E. Coyote chased the Road Runner all over the Southwest American desert. The only dialogue ever spoken in those cartoons was the "beep beep" of the Road Runner. Yet those cartoons were very entertaining! There aren't a lot of cartoons like those these days for kids. So I'm happy to discover the animated series, Oscar's Oasis by TeamTO, available to stream on Netflix. Now, my kids can enjoy cartoons like I Continue reading...

September Goals
Every month, I set three monthly goals for myself. These goals are smaller things I hope to achieve or accomplish in the next few weeks. I’ve found that setting small goals each month helps me to get things done! My friend, Carrie at Curly Craft Mom, got me started on this helpful habit! The recap of my August goals are at the bottom of this post. 1 - Take Better Photos – I bought myself a beautiful Nikon DSLR camera about a year ago. The camera has helped me to take better photos for the blog. I have to admit, though, I am still taking photos in the automatic mode. (In my Continue reading...
