Hi Everyone, This week has just flown by.  I had full intentions to publish a few of the cancer survival and coping stories, but was unable to dedicate the time I wanted due to sick children, exhausted mommies (me), and other family responsibilities I’m committed to.  I will post one today and one tomorow (as […]...

I am so thankful to be blessed to have the opportunity to be a stay-at-home mom to my 3 boys. However, there are some moms out there that either have to work or choose to work. Breastfeeding is healthy for the baby, as well as the mother. A mother who is breastfeeding should be nursing […]...

I love watching television shows and short clips on the Internet. I was recently introduced to truTV. OH MY GOSH! There are some clips that had me laughing out loud, gasping “Oh No!,” or saying to myself, “Oh man, what an idiot!” That is the goal of truTV – to provide clips that get a […]...

I haven’t done a Joke of the Day in a while, but found this one and just had to post it! Tech Support: “I need you to right-click on the Open Desktop.” Customer: “Ok.”Tech Support: “Did you get a pop-up menu?”Customer: “No.”Tech Support: “Ok. Right click again. Do you see a pop-up menu?” Customer: “...

I recently learned how to filter my unread emails in Gmail. You may already know how to do this or it may be new information for you. With a review blog, I get many emails. Sometimes it’s hard to get to them all on the day they are sent. The other night, I was going […]...

I remember attending college and dreading having to fork out the big bucks for brand new textbooks. I remember searching through used textbooks so that I could get the best deal, spending half the amount of the price of the new book many times. Today, more and more people are finding and purchasing cheap textbooks […]...

So, a reader forwarded me to a link on an article about “Mom Bloggers.” It was pretty interesting. It talked about how the majority of blogs either read, written, or maintained are done by moms. What can I say? We moms (and women who aren’t moms – oh – and dads) love to talk about […]...

I love taking pictures of my family! I also love taking pictures of scenery, wildlife, and just good old fashion fun times! There are so many different brands and models of cameras out there that it is often difficult to choose the right one and get a good price on it. I was recently introduced […]...

After talking to other bloggers, I’ve decided to make the switch from Blogger to WordPress. I am a little nervous because I am new to WordPress, but am excited about the new look and changes to come. The layout of my blog will be different and will have the ability to create other pages, such […]...

You’ve just been to the eye doctor and were told that you need eyeglasses. You envision a person with huge bifocals that make you dizzy looking at them. You think to yourself, “This is going be to be expensive.” You may also be wondering “what are varifocal lenses?”. Your next thought is “where can I […]...

This is a picture drawn by my 5 year old son. It was after he wathed Mickey Mouse in Adventureland! Pretty good, huh?...

Step 2 for this week on TheBlogFrog was to talk a little bit about ourselves and blogging. First off, for those who are visiting or new here, my name is Shannon and I am a stay-at-home mom of 3 boys (all under the age of 6). I have been married for almost 10 years and […]...

Thanks to TheBlogFrog, I have been selected as one of their community leaders. In our assignment this week, we were asked to pick a blogger that we admire and talk a little about her (or him) on our blogs. I am featuring Amanda from Mommy Mandy and just love her! She is super sweet and […]...

My kids love to drink milk! In our family, I make them Ovaltine for breakfast. Ovaltine is basically like chocolate milk mix but with more vitamins and nutrients. They drink that up. I offer them milk to drink with lunch and dinner. When they see their dad drink it, they perk up and want to […]...

WOW! I can’t believe it! Who would have thought that I would ever have almost 1,000 people following my blog? I remember when I first started and how excited I was to have 5 people following me – people who cared about what I posted and occasionally commented. Now, 9 months after diving into reviews […]...

We go through about 25-30 apples a week in our household of 5 people. The kids eat 2-3 apples a day and my husband eats 2 apples a day. When we lived in Utah, I remember paying about $0.79 a pound when they went on sale. In California, I could buy them for $0.99 a […]...

Moving requires lots of sorting, packing, moving, and updating. Part of the moving process involves changing your address with your bank, utility companies, and other companies that mail things to you. It’s also a great idea to order new return address labels so that anyone receiving mail from you can note your new address. At […]...
