Star Wars Glowing Lightsaber Ice Pop Maker | #starwars
It's summertime, and everyone is looking for something to keep their kiddos entertained and cool at the same time. This Star Wars Glowing Lightsaber Ice Pop Maker just might be the if it weren't for the price tag. I always love running across stuff like this! My boys would absolutely love these. I know it's reusable, but I know my boys. They will loose these after the first or second use, and that will be a lot of money down the drain. They do have LED lights in them so that they will light up like lightsabers, though, so that's…
Geeky Shower Curtains | #geek #decor
We're on the hunt for a couple of new shower curtains, because the ones we currently have actually came with the house when we bought it! For our bathroom, I'm looking at different geeky shower curtains for us, and for the kid's (guest) bathroom, pretty much anything is better than the plain cream colored curtain stained with brown nail polish! I mean, seriously, what do you think that looks like right next to the toilet? The problem I'm running into is that my favorites are so expensive! I know that they're probably better quality and they will last longer, but…

The day we forgot our baby in the car
Due to the recent controversy in the news as well as such harsh comments, I feel like I need to share my story. I do understand that the man who left his child in the car on purpose was bad. Really bad. It was wrong, horrible, and definitely not something I can fathom. But for the one person who meant to do it, there are hundreds who did not. It's that time of year. Bad things happen to good people, and let me make one thing no matter how much you say that you could never forget - there is…

Recharging YOU with Netflix | #streamteam
A couple of weeks ago, we switched internet providers, and I'm happy to say that we're now able to stream Netflix on more than one TV at the same time! For a little over a year now, we've not been able to stream anything. I'm so excited to be able to watch the shows I want to watch while the kids are occupied or asleep! The first thing I did, the day after we got our new service, was look up Hart of Dixie. I fell in love with it last year, but I was only able to watch the…

The Tooth Fairy and a Brother’s Love | #toothfairy #brothers #sweet
Let me tell you a little story about a brother's love. But first, let's go back a year ago. The Tooth Fairy is often a slacker around here. She forgets to stop by and check under pillows for teeth. It mostly happens the first night after one of my kiddos loses a tooth. Thanks to the Timehop app, this happened just about a year ago. The Entertainer lost The Gamer's tooth, and so this letter was written. Last week, The Entertainer had to have a tooth extracted by the dentist. He had some issues when he was a baby, and…
