There are a number of giveaways ending soon. I actually can’t believe the sheer NUMBER of giveaways that bloggers are having lately. I personally don’t like hosting giveaways. I;d much rather get cash from an advertiser than hawk his wares for a freebie. Oh well. I do some of them because I think you guys [...]

New Family Movie and Exclusive DVD Set Giveaway!
January 3, 2011
I cannot believe how fast Walmart and P&G have been rolling out the movies. When they heard that moms were clamoring for wholesome, family-friendly movies for their families, Walmart and P&G released “Secrets of the Mountain.” It is an excellent movie, and we own the DVD– we watch it all the time! Shortly after the [...]
A Really Easy and Fun Cooking Contest
July 1, 2010
This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Mission Foods. All opinions are 100% mine. I rarely, rarely enter cooking contests. Most are geared toward uber-gourmet dishes. I have FOUR kids and I work a job PLUS I’m renovating my house. I am NOT going to be making gourmet anything for a [...]
I Need a MAJOR Me Moment Right About Now…
May 19, 2010
This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Dove Ice Cream. All opinions are 100% mine. … but since I can’t, a “Mini” moment will do. *sighhhhh* In case you don’t keep on top of all my other blogs (don’t feel bad, I don’t, either!), I’m renovating my home. The kitchen, laundry [...]

April 15, 2010
see more Lolcats and funny pictures Maybe it’s *finally* over!! My lousy “luck” with contests. I just NEVER win them! Wah! Well, the kinds of contests where you submit stuff, like videos, and such, I do sometimes win. I have won $1000 before in a video contest. That was very cool. And I won another [...]
A Preview of “Secrets of the Mountain” and My Contest
April 12, 2010
FINALLY! Have I ever told you I just love the words “family-friendly”?! We like to eat dinner together, and watch a movie together, most of the time. Usually the films are documentaries (like The Case for Christ) but the kids sometimes want an action movie (and we’ve already seen The Incredibles a billion times). It’s [...]
Healthy Living Community: WellnessDaily.com
February 24, 2010
This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of wellnessdaily.com. All opinions are 100% mine. I love that word “wellness.” Makes me want to go out and eat something green and do 50 push ups. Well, eat something green, anyway. :whistle: Seriously: we try to eat as natural as possible. I garden all [...]

My Smelly Towel Contest!
January 4, 2010
I recently reviewed the new laundry cleaning supplement, Smelly Towel. It’s a really weird name, but the stuff works! I have a house full of stinky situations: with teenagers, a dog, a couple of cats, a musty old house, etc etc, we REALLY needed this stuff. (I will have you know that I ALWAYS smell [...]

I’m a married mom with 4 kids. We live in Upstate New York in an old 1855 house with our five pets (yes, five, *sigh*). Life is never dull, and exciting things just seem to always happen to me... why me... when I'm not running around the house fixing things, I do freelance writing and blogging. My work and opinions have appeared in Salon.com, USAToday, eHow.com, iMedia.com, the Associated Press and I've even been interviewed by TIME and The Wall Street Journal about blogging. Can you believe it?! Here is where I express my zany, creative, motherly side.
