Our 5th Annual LaGrange Pet Parade

It’s hard to believe that we’ve already spent five years watching the LaGrange Pet Parade. This year was no exception. We sat with our usual crew and enjoyed the festivities. Jack didn’t even really try to run off this year! Check out previous years to get caught up: 2009 // 2010 // 2011 // 2012 The Lawn Rangers Charlie &… View Post

Celebrate Your Man of Steel!

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Warner Bros. With superhero flicks all the rage now, my nephews and Charlie are particularly excited about Man of Steel {helloooooo, Superman!} coming to the big screen. The rise of midnight screenings in the past years has made the anticipation of movie-going even greater, but this year, it’s even better! Man… View Post

What’s New Under the Sea :: Shedd Aquarium’s Fresh Kids’ Menu Options

Last week, I had the opportunity to talk about some of the changes that were being made through the Kids LiveWell program and the National Restaurant Association. As more and more restaurants are making adjustments and changes to create healthier meals for parents and their children, as a mom, I’m excited to have some different options when heading out and about… View Post

Happy June! {And 15 Days until Father’s Day} :: Giveaway!

Time seems to be flying lately and I cannot believe that Father’s Day is just a little over two weeks away! I am lucky enough to have the best father for my boys and think Father’s Day is a great opportunity to show him just how much we appreciate all that he does for our family. Whether you are buying… View Post

Put Me in Coach!

Three weeks ago, this little fella started his very first ever season of T-ball. And we started our first endeavor co-coaching his team! Since then, we just had our first game (after three rain-outs) and Charlie had a blast! (Jim’s shin is bruised thanks to a wild bat from one of our players) and we finished the day generally unscathed,… View Post

Salads, Sammies, & Sauce :: All Things Chick-fil-A

I had the opportunity to try out Chick-fil-A’s new line of fresh salads. I can honestly say they were delicious (and they didn’t even pay me to say that!) In 2010, I tried Chick-fil-A for the first time in Florida. Spying the signature chicken “C,”, I’ve been hooked ever since. My absolute favorite menu item? Chick-fil-A sauce is addictive and… View Post

MyYoga Online :: Review

I received membership to MyYoga Online. All opinions expressed are my own. About five years ago, I tried yoga for the first time with my cousin. Realizing that my skill level was not where it should be, that I sweat more than everyone in the room combined and where my laughter about my lack of flexibility was probably disturbing to… View Post

Goodbye, Preschool!

“Pre-K next year! Pre-K next year! We’re moving up! We’re moving up! We’re gonna write our letters and write our names much better! Preschool is done! We had so much fun!” It seems like only yesterday, Charlie had his first day of preschool and now we’re already moving up to pre-K! Goodness that went so quickly! We had the chance to… View Post

Are You a Diva?

I’m receiving complimentary race admission  and am so excited about this opportunity to get fit and not worry about being super competitive! You’ve probably seen the growing popularity in adventure or “fun run” 5ks. From foam to mud to colored dyes, fun adventure runs are all the rage right now. When I began to run a search for these types… View Post
