I often have to carry things with me that need to be kept cool. In the winter, it’s not a huge deal, but in the summer, things tend to over heat. It’s pretty hard to keep things cool, without a cooler. It’s not ideal for me to lug around a cooler all summer, although I [...]
Every year as this day approaches, I still feel the fear I felt that day. There rarely is a moment like this where I can remember every single detail. September 11 was so very tragic for so many people. Although I didn’t have any family in New York City that day, my heart broke thinking [...]
School is back in session and the kids are doing pretty well getting back into the swing of things. Packing lunches has been a bit of a challenge for me as I struggle to find nutritious things that the kids WANT to eat and are appealing. I have to admit, this year it’s been the [...]

{Boating} This was one of the last trips of the summer up north. This year my son has really opened up to so many things and is willing to try things he never would have before. It makes me so happy he is finally breaking away from his shell! Mister Linky’s Magical Widgets — Auto-Linky [...]
I love preparing hot fresh meals for my family. My problem is with juggling more then one child, sports practice, band practice and doctor’s appointments, there are nights where my window for making that fresh meal are limited. I’m not a huge fan of many of the frozen pre-made brands. This happens because they generally [...]
I think a topic that every mom can relate to is dinner. It doesn’t matter if you are the one cooking it or the one eating it; there are so many ‘dinner debates‘. We have been trying to work on healthier eating options for the kids, as well as ourselves. In looking at our diet, [...]
{Fishing} This was my son’s FIRST time fishing. Of course I have MANY pictures of the event, but this silhouette captured so many of the emotions I felt while I watched him fish..

Today I am reviewing the D-link DSC 930L wireless n network camera. When I first opened the box I found the camera itself to be quite compact about the size of clam shell style cell phone. The mounting it comes along with is not all that heavy duty, but does not really need to be [...]

{MEME} Wordless Wednesday: Tubing

Hubby was right there, but she freaked and refuses to try again! Mister Linky’s Magical Widgets — Auto-Linky widget will appear right here!This preview will disappear when the widget is [...]
