Frank and I recently traveled to Gold Coast with my three boys (ages 9, 7, and 5) and it was an overall great experience. I had traveled before with one child and then two children (one nursing), but never three…on a plane…for more than 2 hours at once. The boys were happy, kept busy, and […]...
I have MS, but MS doesn’t have me. A bit about me… I was diagnosed with RRMS (Remitting, Relapsing Multiple Sclerosis) in 2006 when I experienced optic neuritis in my right eye. It was like someone placed a dirty clogged screen door over my eye. Luckily the doctors place me on steroids, and I regained […]...

I received a sample from Airocide to facilitate this review. All opinions expressed in this post are 100% mine. For me, a good night’s sleep is essential to being productive the following day! Who knew that I was missing out on a REALLY good night’s sleep? I had no idea until we tried a new, […]...
Spring is here….and so is allergy season. A few weeks ago, Frank and I took our six kids camping and it was so much fun! However, after sneezing for a few hours straight because of allergies, this mama was exhausted! After a few hours of sneezing, I headed to the campsite’s store to pick up […]...
It was a few months back that I thought I had a piece of popcorn in my tooth. I remember feeling it with my tongue and thinking something was wrong. Then the pain started. I had never had tooth pain like that before while using invisalign. I called up my dentist and made an appointment. […]...

I am a natural redhead and have naturally fair skin. My three boys have also inherited my fair skin. All of us are very prone to sunburns, which makes spending time outdoors a challenge. With the summer here, we enjoy spending more time playing outside in the sun without the constant distraction of remote controls, […]...
Our local grocery store in Nipomo is Vons (also known as Safeway). I remember how excited everyone was to have our own grocery store (with a gas station even) in Nipomo! I can definitely say that with my Vons card, I’ve saved more money than I would have ever saved without it. Plus, I earn […]...
I remember being a little girl, finishing with my bath, and my mom using the Q-tips to get the wax out of my ears. I remember getting ready for Winter Formal in high school and dipping a Q-tips in nail polish remover to fix a tiny smudge on my finger. I remember when I had my first […]...

Many of us women can relate to the monthly annoyances and discomforts that come with our menstruation cycles. We know what these are, right? Cramps, bloating, unexpected mood swings. While many of us experience similar symptoms, some women face an even bigger challenge: periods so heavy they interfere with everyday activities. Recently surveyed were […]...
