Online Shopping Got Even Easier with #AmazonCart

I am a member of the Collective Bias® Social Fabric® Community. This shop has been compensated as part of a social shopper amplification for Collective Bias.

It’s true, every single room in my house holds at least one product that came from shopping online. I have never denied my love for shopping on the web. There’s something about the ease of finding new or everyday products and comparing prices without leaving the house. It can be rough getting around a store with three little ones some days. Having products arrive at my doorstep saves a lot of time and eliminates those not-so-fun in-store tantrums.

Patriotic Flag Petits Fours Dessert

This patriotic petits fours recipe is a #SLSweetTreats sponsored post for Sara Lee. All opinions are my own.

Memorial day quickly approached and soon it will be The Fourth of July. It makes me think about all the great heroes that serve our country. It makes me proud to be a Marine’s sister and the wife to an incredible man who served in the Navy. Each year, I like to make a patriotic dessert for our celebrations as a tasty treat.

This month sure has been the busiest so far this year. Every weekend booked, countless deadlines to meet, and family-time made. With all the hectic things going on, I started sacrificing some of my ‘me time’. My biggest regret lately: leaving out my 30 minute workout.

5 Tips to Ease Weeknight Cooking

This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of GE Appliances. The opinions and text are all mine.

As much as I love cooking for my family, some evenings it seems impossible to get dinner on the table. Even on those days, I do what I can to make sure we enjoy dinner as a family. Even though my boys are still young, family dinner together is important. No matter how busy we are, or how tired I am, we will have dinner at the table together.

Travel Time Magnetic Kit – Creative Play On-the-Go

I received Imagine I Can Travel Time for review purposes. All opinions are my own

This weekend we are going on our first family road trip (one of two this month). We are taking our older two boys (3 &4) to Branson for a couple nights. It is a four hour drive and I am not quite sure how they are going to handle it. I have been trying to find things to take so they don’t get bored easily while we are on-the-go.

A Collection of 15 Amazing Recipes for Grilled Vegetables

I am sharing my collection of grilled vegetable recipes as a sponsored post with Foodie.com. All opinions are my own.

Grilling seasoning is among us and that means plenty of backyard gatherings and BBQs. It is the time that we light up the grill at least once or twice a week. Our backyard becomes a place to play, cook, and eat. My husband likes to grill just about everything. While we can always enjoy a good steak or burger, my favorites are always the grilled vegetables.

I have such a love for grilled vegetables, my husband often makes at least two different ones with each grilling session. I can make a meal just out of the sides. Sometimes I have him make a lot just so I have leftovers for the next day.

In preparation for all the BBQs we are going to have, I have put together a new collection of recipes on Foodie.com. The collection includes 15 amazing recipes for grilled vegetables. Some are will be good as side dishes, appetizers, or even a meal on its own. I’ve added Balsamic Grilled Summer Vegetables With Basil Quinoa Salad, Grilled Sweet Potatoes, Grilled Corn On The Cob With Jalapeno-Lime Aioli And Parmesan Cheese, and more. They look just as delicious as they sound.

Click the collection above to view them on Foodie and while you are there, look around to find more great recipes and collections.

Mother’s Day Gift Idea – Handprint Tote Bags

In less than two weeks is Mother’s Day and I am trying to get ahead of the game by getting everything made now. Even though I think all moms should be celebrated daily, I enjoy giving a little extra on Mother’s Day. The most popular gifts have always been those that are homemade, one-of-a-kind, and are made with the help of my little ones.
