{REVIEW} New Balance Smart Shoes for Back to School

New Balance, OneScrappyMom, onescrappymom.com

My son is a huge fan of New Balance shoes. This actually started off a few years back when we first decided to try them. There were a number of reasons that I wanted to try them. First, they seemed like a comfortable fit for him, they seemed light weight (nothing like heavy shoes for [...]


{REVIEW} Heidi Klum on Shine

Heidi Klum Shine, OneScrappyMom, onescrappymom.com

I love a wide variety of fragrances. Honestly I wear a different one almost daily. That’s a really weird concept to most people since they usually find one they love and wear all the time. For me, I have too many I love to pick only one, so I pick many and use many! The [...]

{CLOSED} Need Shoes? Think Reebok!

Reebok, OneScrappyMom, onescrappymom.com

When I was younger, my parents never really put any thought into my shoes or footwear. I basically go what I wanted and it didn’t matter if they were uncomfortable, bad for my feet, etc. As an adult I suffer from a number of problems with my hips and lower back. I am NOT saying [...]

{REVIEW} Twin Pomegranates Wine

Twin Pomegranates, OneScrappyMom, onescrappymom.com

I think that it’s safe to say in my house, we love our wine. We use wine in cooking, drink recipes, with meals and the occasional “I had a rough day and wine will make it better” drinks. I find that there is not really a one for all wine. At least for us there [...]

The Edge of Life: Alaska, OneScrappyMom, onescrappymom.com

The Edge of Life: Alaska is available on DVD after September 6, 2011. We had the opportunity to view this film recently. It was a very good film that captured Alaska in it’s natural form. The kids are often very fascinated by these features and I really love to watch documentaries like this with them. [...]

{CLOSED} Supreme Protein: The Ultimate Functional Food

Supreme Protein, OneScrappyMom, onescrappymom.com

These days being health conscious is more then exercise. It’s about the diet, the exercise and maintaining a healthy lifestyle. We’ve always been a pretty healthy by nature family, but working out is more then just the work out. We’ve adjusted our diet. For me protein has been a huge part of this. I have [...]


{POST} How Much Does Your Teen Know About Safe Spending?

Dollar Sign, OneScrappyMom, onescrappymom.com

These days the world of credit is a huge topic. I think many people over extend their credit and their budgets and with the economy being unstable (in my opinion) I just don’t think it’s wise. The topic of money, credit, debit and budget are coming up more and more these days. My tween is [...]

Meal Planning, OneScrappyMom, onescrappymom.com

Let’s talk about a dinner dilemma and how you manage to get through this. These days, the cost of groceries has gone up, the incomes may be decreasing, families are eating healthier, which can in turn make that grocery bill higher. How do you and your family balance your dinner budget? For me there is [...]


{POST} How Much Do You Design?

Web Design, OneScrappyMom, onescrappymom.com

I really never realized how much actual design type things that I do. I’ve always said there is no way I could be a designer. And honestly, that still holds true, however, people tell me all the time that I *am* a designer. I tend to think that it’s really just the creative juices in [...]
