The Ark Institute – Non-GMO Seeds for your Garden
I've always loved having a farmer's market nearby. I'm pretty lucky, we actually have a number of them pretty close to us. I've taken full advantage of them and regularly buy fresh veggies, grass fed meat, and local eggs from free range chickens. I have to say that we eat pretty healthy during the summer months. Or so I assumed... If you've been around here lately, you've seen me post about my mistrust of GMO foods (genetically modified). I've been learning more and more about these … [Read More...]
Koss Launches Earbuds Made For Women’s Ears (review and giveaway)
I love listening to music while I work out. Since my favorite workout at the moment is walking, I rely on music or audiobooks to keep me entertained while I am strolling around the neighborhood. I have noticed that most of the ear pieces out there feel great when you first put them in, but [...]
Finally! Magisto Makes Creating Movies on Your iPhone Easy #MagistoMoms
I love how easy it is to make family videos these days. Gone are the huge camcorders you had to plan ahead and pack if you wanted to catch an event on video. Back when LJ was an infant, we had what was then considered to be a small camcorder – which now looks huge [...]
LJ and His New Umi Shoes
I remember the good old days when LJ had no opinions about what he wore. I could pick out pretty much anything (except maybe a pink princess dress) and he’d wear it without a word. Life was good and life was easy. Then he got an opinion. About. Everything. Suddenly he has specific ideas about [...]

Shaklee180 Monthly Progress #ShakleeBlogger
As a Shaklee Blogger, I am taking the Shaklee 180 weight loss program for a test drive. Each month, I receive a Turnaround Kit (check out my video to see what each kit contains) and I also have the opportunity to be a Shaklee distributor while I am in the program. I just finished my [...]

Murder Mystery Dinner Provides Fun and Laughs in Milwaukee (review and giveaway)
A few weeks ago, Jay and I were invited to attend a Murder Mystery Dinner by the Murder Mystery Dinner Co. at Serb Hall in Milwaukee. Neither of us had ever been to one and we were curious how it would work and if we would enjoy it. We accepted two complimentary tickets and headed [...]
Sweet Trio Serves Up Some Very Sweet Treats
I admit to having quite a sweet tooth. I pretty much always have for as long as I can remember. As I’ve gotten older (and wiser), I’ve gotten pretty picky about how I appease that sweet tooth. If I am going to indulge in something, my thought is that I’d better make it worth it! [...]
Enjoy Fun at The Wilderness No Matter What the Weather!
Wisconsin public schools all have their spring break the week following Easter. If Easter falls late on the calendar, you can wind up with some beautiful weather but if Easter is early, like it was this year, it can still feel like winter. When I told people we were going to the Wisconsin Dells for [...]
Chili Brie In Sourdough Loaf Recipe
I admit to being a bit of a food snob. I like to frequent the (slightly pricier) family owned grocery store in town because the quality of their products is a bit above the big chain store right next door to them. The customer service is top notch, the store is beautiful, and their deli [...]
Easy Halloween Treats
LJ’s Cub Scout Den is having a Halloween party this year. I needed to come up with two quick and easy but cute snack treats for each scout. I settled on Candy Corn Marshmallow Pops and Mummified Twinkie Pops. They were both super easy to make and I found all of the ingredients plus my [...]

Regular readers have seen that I am working on an ongoing project with Chef Boyardee. I’ve been having lots of fun as the project centers around getting kids involved with cooking. Since LJ is a notoriously picky eater, I’ve always tried to get him excited about our meals by including him in planning and preparing [...]
