Creamy #CartonSmart Chicken Noodle Soup Recipe

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Carton Smart for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine. I love this time of year with all of the baking and cooking that goes on in our family.  We've counted, and we' realize that between all of the family, we are going to be having six different Christmas celebrations all revolving around food and family (and of course, gifts!). I'm not a huge fan of canned goods, because so many preservatives are used, the cans aren't that great for the environment, and the food always comes out tasting like…

Kidoodle.TV Kids Programming with Parental Controls for iDevices #MC #spon

I participated in a Blogger Activation on behalf of Mom Central Consulting for I received a promotional item and a free trial as a thank you for participating. When tablets and phones first came out, we always had to be so careful what we'd let our kiddos do on them.  Honestly, their minds didn't wander far from Angry Birds until they discovered youTube which proved to be one of the worst apps to let a child view unsupervised.  Now, it's great to have fantastic apps out there that are no only fun for kids, but also educational and, best of…

Dark Chocolate Dreamy Christmas Cookies Recipe | #cookies #recipe

In my relentless quest to perfect my own cookie recipe, I stumbled upon some interesting insights into ingredients. While experimenting, I discovered that incorporating dark chocolate not only elevates the flavor but also brings along a multitude of advantages. It's fascinating how this addition not only enhances the overall taste, as proven by winning over 32 8th-grade advanced choir girls and their fearless director, but also adds a subtle touch of health benefits. So, here's to my triumphant entry into the family cookie war, armed with the knowledge about the dark chocolate advantages! I'm hoping this post finds several BHISD…

Mashed Potato and Garlic Corn Chowder Recipe

Andy and I have been married for twelve years, and as you can imagine, with four kids in the mix, just about everything we've had up until this point has either been destroyed or broken.  We've learned, along the way, that the good stuff stays put up until we have company or our little ones prove old enough to use it carefully.  That's why I vow to protect my new Pfaltzgraff Dinnerware with everything I have!  It's absolutely off limits to the kiddos. My new Pfaltgraff Calico stoneware is pretty awesome.  Each place setting comes with the following: 11 inch…
