I wish my schedule and budget allowed for frequent trips to the salon and spa, but the reality is that they don’t – not even close! I have to make do with what I can find that works for me at home. Conair recently came out with two products that make it easy for me…
When you hear “7-Eleven,” do the words fresh, healthy, fruits/veggies come to mind?? No – me either. But that recently changed when I discovered that 7-Eleven now offers a Fresh Foods line that includes: Fresh sandwiches Salads Fresh cut fruit Whole fruit Yoplait Yogurt Parfait with oats and honey granola Bistro Snack packs with mini…
This post brought to you by Quilted Northern. The content and opinions expressed below are that of ‘Or so she says …’. About the only time I think much about my bathroom and what’s in it is when I have to clean it. But what if the bath toys, wall hangings, perfume bottles, wall paper,…
It’s crazy to me how quickly technology advances and improves! So much of the technology that I use on a regular basis to share special moments with friends and family wasn’t available when I was a kid. I’ve grown accustomed to taking photos on my phone and easily sharing them with my mom and other…
I’m sure almost all of us could use a new appliance … or five! My washer/dryer set is long overdue for an upgrade. That’s one of the reasons why I was excited to learn about the Maytag Salutes Sweepstakes. The other reason I love this sweepstakes is that Maytag is honoring everyday heroes, such as…
Sometimes it just feel like there’s not enough time to get everything done as a busy mom. I try to be organized and plan ahead for dinner, but more often than not the day gets away from me and dinner time sneaks up on me. Or, I look at the day ahead and realize in…
I love family traditions, and somehow most of ours revolve around food. One of our favorite family traditions is Family Fondue Night! This tasty tradition originally started with one of our first Valentines’ Days with young children. We didn’t want to get a sitter and brave the Valentine’s Day restaurant crowds; plus we wanted to…
My husband and I have been on a mission recently to replace some of our older furniture that was either handed down to us or purchased inexpensively when we got married. Since we’ve been married over 11 years, it’s about time for a furniture overhaul! We are currently looking for a sofa delivery company to…
We sleep nearly a third of our life away, so it’s super important to pick a pillow that makes that time pleasurable! I’m always on the search for the best pillow in the world. Just when I think I’ve found it, something changes … I injure my neck, grow a prego belly, switch beds, etc….
After collecting all the “must-have” baby items with my first three kids, I didn’t think there was anything left that I needed for baby #4. Boy, was I wrong! The new Smart Play Yard Mattress Topper from MamaDoo Kids is one of those “Why didn’t I think of that?” and “How have I lived without it?” baby…
The only thing worse than having a sick kid is having a sick kid when you’re getting ready to head out of town or are on vacation. I’ve experience this over and over again. My little guy seemed to get sick EVERY time we tried to go on a trip for at least the first…
