WOW -- I can't believe that Christmas is nearly here! My kids and I have always wanted a holiday Christmas snow village, but all those holiday village pieces (the cute houses, etc.) are SO expensive! So, I decided that my daughters and I could make our own holiday village. My daughters and I started out by buying little unfinished wood houses at our local craft store. The houses were inexpensive. I bought spray paint for the houses that I thought would look like snow, but the spray paint just added a light glittery look to the houses. We topped out houses with cotton ball "snow" instead.

For our project, I gathered some Fruity Pebbles and Cocoa Pebbles cereal. Fruity Pebbles and Cocoa Pebbles have been a favorite among Continue reading...

My Sweet New Guitar from Sweetwater
I received a Sweetwater gift card as part of my relationship with the Quality Blue Community. All opinions expressed are my own. My daughters and I all play music but we don't yet play the guitar. But we are excited to learn. However, before we can do this we needed to buy a guitar. I recently purchased a new guitar from Sweetwater.com. I couldn't be more excited! (I play the piano, one daughter plays the flute, while the other plays the flute and the piano.) I am hoping to make at least some strides in learning our new instrument over the holidays! Shopping for my guitar on Continue reading...
Music & Arts Upgrade Your Sound November Deal
Thanks to The Network Niche. Today's post is sponsored by Music & Arts.” #MusicArtsUYS My daughters and I love playing musical instruments!

Now, my other daughter is also playing the flute. My daughter first rented her flute through her school's band program through Music & Arts, but when she decided to continue playing the flute in middle school and be in the school band, we decided to upgrade her instrument. We Continue reading...
Help Save 10,000 Lives This Year
“I participated in an Influencer Activation on behalf of Influence Central for the Cigna Foundation, in partnership with Samahope. I received a promotional item to thank me for my participation.” When I had my twin daughters more than a decade ago, I was lucky that I had access to excellent healthcare that I could afford. My pregnancy was a high-risk one, and I was carefully monitored throughout my pregnancy -- without costing me a fortune. Nevertheless, I wound up having to delivery my babies two months early. Luckily, with more expert medical care, everything turned out well. Many women Continue reading...

Charging & Organizing Electronics with Energizer® EcoAdvanced™ Batteries
This shop has been compensated by Collective Bias, Inc. and its advertiser. All opinions are mine alone. #BringingInnovation#CollectiveBias This post contains affiliate links. Now that my kids are tweens, electronics have replaced many of their cute toys -- instead of playing with stuffed animals and dollhouses, it's all about the Wii, iPods, Kindles and iPhones. Which is fine -- my kids can be quite creative on their iPods and iPhones and use cool new apps to edit images and videos! But since my daughters usually have some sort of electronic device at their Continue reading...
