I love to chew gum, a lot. I use it to keep from eating too many snacks and I enjoy the wonderful popping sound I can make if I chew it just right. The flavors though, not so exciting. You have the basic grape, cherry, and strawberry, which can get boring after a while.Well Trident has put an end to the "boring" gum and upped it a notch with their new Trident Layers gum. You can chew on wild strawberry and tangy citrus or their other wonderful flavor of green apple and pineapple. How swe... Read Full Story

I come from a family of talented women. They can crochet, tat, and sew. Myself, not so much. I have recently tried taking on the task of the cute little stick with the hook on the end. Yes, crocheting. It seems easy enough. Learn to read the hidden messages between the lines of morse code, and ta-da, you have a project! Nope, not quite. You learn the basic stitches, single crochet, double crochet, even a treble! Ah, but there is one important step. I have learned that you must not be... Read Full Story

She has the ability to be able to make you feel ... Read Full Story

I had a great visit with my brother who came out to see me for the first time in a long time. Of course the boys took to him immediately and my brother became the local jungle gym. Everytime I turned around one of them was wrapped around his neck and riding high. It was cute, but I know that even though they are twins, one of them has about 12 pounds on the other. I am sure my brother went home a sore neck.It worked out great because my brother helped me with the ice cream party that I wo... Read Full Story

As a mom of boys and having grown up with three brothers there is not really too much that I don't already know. I climbed trees with the best of them, walked the creeks catching snakes, and rode bikes. Sometimes they thought having a sister along was a damper, but hey, I needed something to do out in the vast farm area we lived in too.Boys like to talk nasty and their favorite thing is to upset the mother with how nasty they can be. Talking about things like butt wedgies, boogers and fart... Read Full Story

We sampled YoBaby's organic yogurt a while back, and have also received the chance to taste their 3 in 1 meals. What an awesome idea! You get your yogurt, fruit and veggies in a smooth and creamy combination. The kiddos did not suspect there was sweet potatoes in their yogurt! They ate it just as quickly as the regular yogurt. No complaints on texture or taste.Once again I found another way to sneak those veggies into their daily meals without them even realizing that they are eating hea... Read Full Story
