I’m smitten with the idea of the monthly subscriptions that are available to consumers. For kids, most of these subscriptions offer craft ideas, with everything you need, right inside the box….and one of the companies who makes these boxes, ItsySparks, contacted me about doing a review of their ItsyKit for little ones. Our April kit Continue Reading …
This post brought to you by Vipre. All opinions are 100% mine. I shared with you a few months ago that I’d downloaded VIPRE Internet Security onto the laptop I inherited from my dad.

Schools’ ending, summer’s almost here….and kids will be free to play, to camp, climb, crawl, kick, swim and all kinds of other fun things for the summer. Scholastic and Kellogg’s Frosted Mini Wheats have created a “Big Day” campaign where they challenge parents and kids alike to make every day a “Big Day.” Sounds easy Continue Reading …
It’s Mother’s Day weekend and as much as I love you all, dear friends, I won’t be online much. Especially not on Sunday, Mother’s Day itself. Why is that? I want to unplug, unwind and just chill. All day. I won’t lie, it will be hard, because I’ve always got my phone right there, or Continue Reading …

My dear friend Jenni’s Turkey Meatballs with Red Pepper Sauce Recipe is (as always) a pretty easy to follow recipe. I like to make a double or triple batch and freeze the extras for a later date.
