I NEED one of these. Sometimes I will get, "I want one more piece" and will have to turn oven back on to make another pizza for the kids. This they wouldn't have to wait 20 minutes. Have to love this one.
5 minutes until dinner with the Black + Decker 5 Minute Pizza Oven & Snack Maker
Like most kids, my kids would eat pizza every day if I let them. Since the term “pizza” is so incredibly ambiguous, I typically make them a “pizza” variation of sorts every few weeks. Sometimes we make our own dough for crust, sometimes we use wheat pitas, English muffins, or pre-made crusts, a...
What beautiful pictures, each and every one of them are amazing!
Think Portrait Innovations for family pictures this fall
Did you read my post last month about our awesome photo sitting at Portrait Innovations and have been meaning to make an appointment? Do it now, seriously. Trust me when I say that the holidays will sneak up on you and before you know it you will be ordering holiday cards wondering why you don...
Happy Birthday Big Guy! 5 years is a big one so hope you had all kinds of fun.
One whole hand big - happy 5th birthday to my sweet boy!
5 years. FIVE YEARS. How on earth is my baby boy FIVE? I remember announcing his birth on this site like it was last week, and I remember thinking that the baby stage would last forever. Two in diapers will do that to you. But, now I know better. I know that even the most stubborn kids are pott...
I saw myself in this post, with both eating habits and just wanting to chill at home. I do not have a "Better Half" any longer but I am raising my 5 kids as a single dad and they can motivate me. Good luck wsith your program and keep letting us know how things are going for you.
It takes a team
By Tyler, editor and reviewer You know that feeling when you've been working all day and you fight traffic to get home and all you want to do is sleep once you get home? I drive for a living; I get this feeling almost every day. And, it's going to be getting dark even sooner in just a few week...
I recently picked up a pumpkin spice wax melt and we use them all the time in the house.
Enjoy the season with the new Glade® Limited Edition Fall Collection scents
This shop has been compensated by Collective Bias, Inc. and its advertiser. All opinions are mine alone. #GladeForFall #CollectiveBias My grandma always told me that they ended up in Washington for a number of reasons, but the big selling point for her was that it had all four seasons. Like my ...
Nice job on this one. I have to say, I think I am all fingers when it comes to things like this and cannot seem to master things like this. I guess craft projects I will never be to good at. My daughters however would live doing something like this and would be a great gift for them
DIY Easter terrarium kit centerpiece
By Leanne, AKA Mrs. Doer Ever since having kids, I've had really bad luck keeping any sort of plants alive. In terms of priorities, plants are somewhere on the list in between dusting the baseboards and organizing the kids' closets. I've heard awesome things about how low maintenance terrariums...
I want one bad. I am the one with the cell taking pics. The only camera I have. I really like I could now share on Facebook or send off to my cell. I not only want one, I need one. I am missing out on some quality pics as well. Sometimes it just seems kids need something so cameras get put off.Thanks for the great review and awesome pics you shared.
Gearing up for fall with the Lumix G7
I participated in an Ambassador Program on behalf of Influence Central for Panasonic. I received product samples as well as a promotional item to thank me for my participation. Like all good things, summer must come to an end sometime. While it’s only officially fall as of today, it's easy to ...
A recipe not too difficult for me to do. I will be making this one, thank you!
Super easy chicken fajitas with Foster Farms Simply Raised
I don’t know about you, but there’s a direct correlation between the amount of summer sun and the amount of time I don’t want to spend cooking. Basically, my goal each weeknight is to get everyone fed and happy so we can get outside and play as soon as possible to enjoy time as a family after...
I want one of these and like I can choose even a travel mug with this to fill.
Two coffemakers in one: BLACK + DECKER Café Select Dual Brew Coffeemaker with Travel Mug
The last time we owned a coffee pot was before we got married. It was a cheap model we got at a discount store specifically for guests that drank coffee because neither of us were big coffee drinkers at the time. That pot got used 3, maybe 4 times, and we ended up getting rid of it in favor of...
My sister has something similar for her daughters hair accessories. I need to do the same for my girls
DIY embroidery hoop bow and clip holder {tutorial}
By Leanne, AKA Mrs. Doer I think I had 5 clips the entire time I was growing up. My older daughter has dozens. While they are admittedly adorable, they also drive me crazy when I can’t find the one I’m looking for or when one lands on the floor and gets stepped on. And, her collection has only g...
Another blogger that I follow is doing this right now as well. I can follow everyone's progress and like it. Best of luck to you both.
Staying active as a family - 5 dad-approved activities
By Tyler, editor and reviewer We don’t get to a gym much these days. As much as I would love to blame gym prices or the fact that we don’t have much time for gym workouts, the truth is that we’re not really gym people. We want to be, we really do. But, we like to go new places and explore diff...
I have never seen one like this, it is so cool. Mine use to have the mats that just layed on the floor. This one is just great
Galt Toys Playnest & Gym: the perfect foldable and portable activity center
If you knew any of my children as babies, you know how much they hated to be set down on their backs. All three of them were the happiest, smiley-est babies until you would dare set them down flat on their back as experts recommend. Needless to say, “back is best” is not a common phrase around...
I don't ever want my girls to out grow their doll playing. I like when they get together with cousins and play house. They just grow up too fast
Non-candy Easter treats from Corolle dolls
My kids really aren't big on candy, which makes me really happy. Sure, they get the occasional treat at school or during holidays, but I never load up on holiday candy because it just takes up space in my pantry after the kids forget all about it. Since I already know what happens when they ge...
My sister lived in Tacoma for about 5 years, she loved it in Washington State. You took some outstanding pics here, perfect time for photos
Where we were: Washington State tulip festival with kids
Every year we go see the tulips with the kids, and this year we decided to go even earlier than normal after hearing that the tulips were out even before the festival "official" opening. And, I'm really glad we did. Almost no crowds to deal with, great weather for pictures, and beautiful blooms ...
You're right, with as many of us that have bad nights sleeping, we all need something like this. I have to say, the picture just made me smile, it is terrific
What not to bring to bed to improve your sleep
How would you describe your bed? If the words “haven” or “perfection” aren’t part of the description, then you should definitely listen up. If you really think about it, most people spend about a 1/3 of their lives in bed, which is more time than they spend doing just about anything else. Knowin...
Play time is important for many reasons, they get exercise, learn balance and so much more
Celebrate the power of play with the Gymboree Hop 'N' Roll collection {$75 GC giveaway}
I know play time for children is vital as it helps them learn about the world around them in ways I can’t teach them in a book, so I always make play time a priority. From unstructured playtime to working together to create a talent show, a fairy garden, or a circus, we fill our days with as m...
I like the Flutter Sleeve Striped Dress in neon pink for my daughter

Cute pictures and having 5 kids, mine are all real close as well. I have 2 sisters, one does live out of state with my nephew but the other I see al the time with my other nephew and 2 nieces. Like you, my kids are like sisters/brothers with them and it is awesome
On siblings and love
Did you know today is National Siblings Day? In honor of the holiday, I thought I would share some thoughts on siblings and love. Siblings: Talking About My Generation I am one of 5 children, all born relatively close in age and all unusually close. Growing up, there was always someone to pl...

Send them back to school on the right note with SOL REPUBLIC {DECK wireless speaker review & giveaway}
Are you in the thick of back to school planning like I am? There are clothes to buy, glue sticks to stock up on, and there are goodbyes to plan for, because back to school is sneaking up on us quickly. But, what if your baby isn’t quite a baby anymore and those days of construction paper an...
Lost my comment but said how my kids take off with my phone to play games and many times, I am with a dead battery. This would be great to have
Power your devices anywhere with the Rayovac Mobile Battery Power Pack
My electronics are constantly dying just when I need them the most. Whether it’s my phone while I’m at blogging events or traveling, my tablet as I’m finishing a post for a deadline, or my camera at a big life event, I find myself often wishing I had a way to charge things on the go. Take a lo...
Having 5 kids with me and a single dad, we have been trying to stock up on many things needed such as sock, t-shirts, school supplies and just so many things. Been watching for sales and getting it then.
Thank Goodness It’s Back to School with Fruit of the Loom {$75 Walmart gift card giveaway}
You know what back to school means? It means fall colors, tall boots, chunky sweaters, steaming lattes, and a whole lot more "me" time - even if I do plan to spend it working. This is the first year I will have both kids in school {even if it's just a few hours a week}, and quite honestly ...
