Earlier this week, I had the opportunity to check out the Chicago Auto Show before it opened to the public. The Chicago Auto Show is so much more than just checking out new cars (although that is a very cool part of it). The show also offers opportunities for education, interaction, and even entertainment. 1) You will learn a ton about lots of things - not just cars. Yes, you will absolutely ...
Bath Time is Key to Baby’s Development
Back when we first brought Josh home from the hospital, I was a new mom with all of the fears and worries that come along with being responsible for a baby and feeling like you have no idea what you are doing. I have to give credit to our local hospital who did an awesome job teaching me the basics of diaper changing and bath giving. When we got home and attempted to give him a bath ourselves, ...
The Easy Way to Buy Tires – Online!!
A few years ago, we needed to replace the tires on our older SUV. I set out to research what the best tires would be and then shopped around trying to find the lowest price. You'd think that wouldn't be too much of a challenge, right? Wrong! It was an absolute headache! Halfway through driving from one tire place to the next, I thought to myself "there has GOT to be an easy way to buy tires" but I ...
What Should You Do if You Are in an Accident?
Here in Wisconsin, we have been enduring snow on top of the crazy cold and wind chill temps. Unfortunately, when the temperature dips this low, salt is relatively ineffective on roads and walkways. As you can imagine, this has resulted in lots of car crashes and accidents on highways and back-roads. Last year, we had an epic car pileup that was actually caught on video. Seeing people hopping ...
Do Hairfinity Vitamins Work?
I'm not one who usually spends a lot of time talking about my own physical features or whether I like them or not. But for the sake of this post, I will confess to having a special fondness for my hair. Most of the time it does what I want and behaves without too much effort. But ever since I was diagnosed with an underactive thyroid a year ago, it has been slipping down the list of ...
Tame the Paper Clutter & Organize Your Life
We recently did an informal survey of our readers on what was their biggest organizational challenge. By far, people replied that keeping all of the paper clutter organized was their most challenging issue. With tons of paper coming in the house from mail, kids' school papers and work, and the receipts that accompany every purchase, is it a wonder that everyone feels as if they are drowning in ...
15 Decadent Hot Chocolate Recipes
15 of the best hot chocolate recipes on the web! To say it's been cold around here would be making a gross understatement. While I'm never a huge fan of the ice, snow, and subzero windchill, I do love an excuse to partake in one of my favorite treats - hot chocolate! But even a chocolate lover like me can get bored with the same old boring hot chocolate day after day. While you might think you ...
Low Sugar Cranberry Orange Relish Recipe
I love all things cranberry. It doesn't matter if it is cranberry juice, cranberry sauce or a yummy crisp for dessert, if it has cranberries in it I love it! I always try to find ways to include a little bit of cranberry in just about every meal I can while fresh cranberries are in season. (And I usually throw a bunch in the freezer so I can use them even when fresh aren't readily available.) I ...
Mary Poppins Lands at The Dells Palace Theater
This past weekend, my family had the chance to check out the newest addition to the Wisconsin arts community - the Palace Theater located in the heart of the Wisconsin Dells (right across from the Wilderness Resort). The Palace Theater is a fully renovated and state of the art dinner theater which seats 800. The size of the theater is absolutely perfect - there is not a bad seat in the ...
How Can a Polar Bear Help Your Winter Driving?
Growing up in New England, driving in the snow wasn't something that could really be avoided. My driving instructor even took us out and made us experience going into a skid so we would know what it felt like and how how to deal with it. When I bought my first car (a Honda Civic), I also purchased a set of snow tires since my job included commuting through two states. I managed to navigate safely ...
How to Make Great Tasting Powdered Milk
When I was growing up in Connecticut, we lived waaaay out in what some would call "the country". The nearest grocery store was at least 15 minutes away and that impacted how we did things. For instance, we got into the habit of not letting the gas tank on the car get too low (as the nearest gas station wasn't much closer than the nearest grocery store) and just running to the corner for a gallon ...
Walking With Dinosaurs – See Them In a City Near You! #DinosaurLive
The last time Walking with Dinosaurs came to Milwaukee, we chose to pass on see it as Josh was still quite young and we were worried he might be frightened since we had heard how realistic the dinosaurs were. When they returned to the BMO Harris Bradley Center this time, we were super excited to see the show! We had a little preview of what we had in store for us when we met Little T (the baby ...
