Family Pizza (Perogie) Night plus a Gift Card Giveaway

Family Pizza (Perogie) Night plus a Gift Card Giveaway It has been awhile since I have given the kids the opportunity to help me cook.  If they had it their way they would help cook every night, instead, I usually go through the motions as quick as I can just to make sure we have a hot meal on the table in enough time to get to the nightly activity or next thing we need to do.  Over the holiday's things slowed down a little and I figured it was a good time to get the kids involved in a meal.   One of the big obstacles I have when...

Chuggington Wooden Railway Table Giveaway

Chuggington Wooden Railway Table Giveaway Honk your horns for a great new product from Chuggington, the Lets Ride the Rails Playtable. With 3 boys and a slew of nephews I have seen and built my fair share of train tables and I have to say this table is by far the best one I have ever seen.  It was a breeze to put together (just a few screws and about 10 minutes), its extremely sturdy, the graphics are beautiful and it is a great height for older kids and for storing all the train accessories in bins underneath it.   Do you...

Engine Maintenance with STP Multipurpose Motor Treatment

Engine Maintenance with STP Multipurpose Motor Treatment As an the Community Manager of Collective Bias I don't get many opportunities to participate in our campaigns as I did when I was a community member, and I have to admit I miss it sometimes!  Recently I was assigned to help coordinate a campaign for STP Multipurpose Motor Treatment and as we were discussing the project with our client all I could think about is how perfect this would be for my dad.  Problem was, Dad doesn't have a blog, but I do So, I am happy to...

Party Time With Ragu - Recipes and Giveaway We have a big family and lots of friends so when it comes time for one of the kids birthday parties it can be a big production.  Part of the program I am in with Ragu Mom’s the Word on Dinner is to have a party and show how Ragu can help with easy, healthy and affordable meals.  So, I teamed up with my sister in law and helped her with my nephew’s 3rd birthday party.   The food was a major hit and everyone left the party asking for recipes!  So here for your viewing (and...

Droid Bionic ~ The Cool Stuff

Droid Bionic ~ The Cool Stuff I am almost embarrassed to admit that when looking for  a new phone I do look at the technology behind the device, but what really sells me is the apps and how I can customize the phone for me and make it more my own. I recently received a Droid Bionic as part of the #MidwestMoms program I am an ambassador and although they did teach us about the techie features of the device, the thing that really stuck with me was the lightning fast 4 G LTE (I swear its not just a commercial slogan, it...

Pottery Barn Kids Halloween!

Pottery Barn Kids Halloween! The thing I enjoy most about Halloween is the kids Halloween costumes.  I have never been a fan of the big box store type costumes, they all look the same, they only last one night and there is always at least 5 other kids with the same costume. Before I had kids I made Halloween costumes for friends who had kids, I made some really nice ones in my day! Since having my own kids I think I could count on one had the number of costumes I have made for them including a  red Teletubby...
