I have an entertainment center filled with DVDs. Most of them, have never been watched in years. Some I bought from yard sales, others I've owned probably since DVDs first came out! My two year old loves taking all the DVDs out of the entertainment center. She'll take them out of their cases and pile them on the floor. As you can imagine, I always have a big mess to clean up! Since we no longer watch most of those DVDs I decided it might be best to get rid of them. It's time to Declutter the DVD shelf! What's the point of having all these DVDs if we no longer watch them? We Keep reading...

The Tech Timeout™ challenge
My family is always using some kind of technology. Whether it's the TV, computers, or iPads, everyone in this house is usually making use of some form of an electronic device. Technology can get in the way of spending quality time together as a family. Yes, you may be physically together, but everyone's doing their own thing. When we were growing up, life was so different. We didn't have all the technology that we have today. As kids, we grew up in a different lifestyle. I see many differences in the way kids are today compared to how we were when we were kids and I think a Keep reading...

A song in remembrance of loved ones who have passed – Dancing In The Sky by Dani & Lizzy
Dancing In the Sky is a song by twin sisters Dani & Lizzy from Vancouver B.C. I first heard this song when someone shared it on Facebook and I've loved it ever since. It's a beautiful song. If you've ever lost a loved one, this is a great song to listen to. It brought tears to my eyes,as I thought about my dad who passed away in March. But it's also uplifting, and I listen to it often. I may not be a great singer, but I sing along every time! Listen, and tell me what you think. SONG LYRICS: Dani and Lizzy - Dancing in the Sky VERSE 1: What does it look like Keep reading...

Banana Peanut Butter & Oats Breakfast Smoothie Recipe
I love coming up with different flavor combinations for my smoothies. I have a smoothie for breakfast or lunch nearly every day. I decided to try a breakfast smoothie by using oats. I've never tried a smoothie with oats before, and was excited to see how it would turn out. I'm actually not a big fan of cooked oatmeal because I don't like the texture, but I do know oats are very good for you, so I thought I'd give it a try. Banana Peanut Butter Oatmeal Breakfast Smoothie 1/2 c. Vanilla Soy Milk 2 heaping Tbs. All-Natural Peanut Butter 1 c. Quaker Oats *4 Apple Keep reading...
My Sister’s Mermaid Themed Baby Shower
I loved the way my sister's baby shower turned out. Turquoise and purple were the perfect colors to give it a true mermaid feel. The decor was perfect. The tissue paper pom-pom balls, which were connected together and hung from a beam were my favorite part of the overall decor. They had artificial flowers (like the ones you get at Silk by Design) to keep the place cheery and they looked great for the occasion. For lunch, we had a "make your own" taco bar with fish, shrimp, flour tortilla's and tortilla bowls, spanish rice, and all the toppings. There was also a cheese platter, Keep reading...
