First Day of High School
Have I told you, lately, that I have a seriously beautiful daughter? I don't think I'm being biased, either! Well, I think I might be a bit, but I'm so proud of her. I think all parents will get me here! This is Kylie on her first day of school. Like all the other kids in the Freshman class, she was really nervous, but she said it went well with the help of a guest that went to their school such as a motivational speaker for high schools, and I think the second day was easier to swallow! She made…

Kylie had her hair done, yesterday at Chambers County Choppers in Mont Belvieu, Tx! When she told me she was going "Ombre", I was a bit nervous, because although it's kinda neat, I've seen some pretty extremes! Hers turned out great!
Lions, and Emus, and Gators, Oh My! Gatorland #florida #travel
When I found out that our family vacation had been changed from Tennessee to Florida, I immediately knew I wanted to take my family back to Gatorland, Orlando. It was a no brainer. I visited the attraction on a blogging trip in 2010, and I just knew that my kiddos would love this place. Gatorland Website | Gatorland Facebook | Gatorland Twitter GATORLAND 14501 S.

A Teen’s Unique Nutritional Needs Much like an infant, toddler or adolescent, teenagers have unique nutritional needs.…
Piggy Paint Nail Polish Review – Natural as Mud! | Giveaway (4/8)
Kylie loves to paint nails. She's been dubbed quite the nail artist in our small town. Anywhere she visits, she's either pulling out her nail polish, looking through someone else's stash. Sadly, she's not allowed to paint her (or my) nails in the house, because the smell gives my husband a headache. That all changed when the Piggy Paint came in! odorless | hypoallergenic | water-based | hard, durable finish When she opened the box, the first thing I told her was that it doesn't smell - at all.

The Many Faces of Kylie
I've only had my new phone for a couple of months, but I already have about 1200 photos on it. When Kylie or Andy look at my photos, they always wonder why I have so many photos of the exact same thing, it's because out of 10 pics of the same thing, I may get one that looks good enough to put on Instagram or Facebook! With kiddos, they like to move, so it's blurry, or there's too much background with clutter that I don't want to show, or you can't see the entire graphic on their shirt, You…
