It’s June. Hard to believe but true. That means summer is on the way fast. But summer can be super expensive with the kid’s summer camps and the road trips and all the extras like the field trips before school ends and then graduation, if you have a child finishing a certain grade at school. I’m not complaining but I understand this time of year can be costly. So with that in mind I am trying to deliver a few more flash giveaways. This is just one flash giveaway. Good luck and have a great weekend! For THREE Days ONLY…

It was our last night in Atlanta, Georgia after a great blogging conference last year in May when my roomies and I decided we hadn’t seen anything much of the city. That’s the problem with conferences in great cities. Sometimes you rarely have time to set foot out the door. So we determined to go shopping and hit a local restaurant, something that screamed Atlanta, Georgia. Conference food, while occasionally incredible, is also often either truly unhealthy, or dainty or overly sweet. While I loved the conference and got a ton of takeaways from it, my sweet tooth was aching…

If you are at all like me, then you want to take some time each weekend to carve out an hour or two for reading. It is such a wonderful weekend hour or two when you find yourself lost in a good book. But, at the same time life calls and there are so many things to do every weekend. So you only ever get so far and then need time to finish up all the rest of the things that are on that to do list. Bookmarks sometimes save the day. I am forever losing my bookmarks. The kids…

Healthy eating and healthy living is a constant goal here. We each exercise a lot and we are a very active family in my opinion. In fact my kids are involved in many sports and we try to balance that out by building in our own sports and fitness goals and activities too. One area where we all need help though is eating. We strive to include enough fruits and vegetables daily, but don’t always get there. Eating well can be challenging for any family. There is always room for improvement. I have a brutal sweet tooth that is…
