Road Trip - Traveling Across 10 States With A Pre-schooler

By
What were we thinking?! 10 States with a 3 year old. But we wanted to see family, and when you live so far away you do what you have to do. 

Armed with snacks, DVDs, and small toys we set off on our journey. Lil Man has tolerated 10+ hour days in the car.

We've had our moments, and we've reached our breaking point a few times. But to get to see our families has been so good for our hearts. Laughter has been abundant, and so have tears as we've had to drive away. Saying goodbye has been heart wrenching. 

But to see Lil Man get to know his family and interact with everyone has been a heart-filling experience. We have made some life-long memories on this trip. 

One morning as I laid in bed at the hotel, listening to my Hubby and Lil Man softly snore, the three of us together, I couldn't help but thank God for how very blessed I am. 

This trip hasn't been easy, and it's definitely had it's challenges, but I'm so glad that we decided to do this. I know Lil Man may be too young to remember this trip, but I know I always will.

    Traveling with children can be very difficult. If kids don't listen to you and they don't behave you will have a nightmare vacation. But I'm sure you won't have any problems with your child!

      We had a great time... although we did have our moments!

    Wow, that is quite a journey! My family is a 12 hour drive away and we haven't braved it with our little ones yet.

Window Bird Feeder By Yellow Beaks

By
Lil Man has been beside himself since the Clear Window Bird Feeder by Yellow Beaks arrived in the mail. He couldn't wait to get it up and outside. He's very anxious for the birds to come. I wasn't sure how the suction cups would hold up. I've never, in the past, had much luck with any type of suction cup. But so far it's been a week with varying temperature changes, and the suction cups are holding strong. The construction seems sturdy, and it looks to be well-made. It also will be easy to clean out. I know with bird feeders they can get a little yucky sometimes, but this will be easy to remove, spray out and clean up.  So far the birds haven't visited us yet. Our neighbor has several bird feeders and he is keeping all of the birds over there (ha). But Lil Man is checking daily, sometimes multiple times a day, for a bird. So I can't report how the birds like the feeder, but I have to say that we honestly do.  You can find the Wind...

MagicMil Chalkboard Label And Pen Pack Review And Giveaway

By
I have been compensated in the form of a gift card/money/coupon and/or received the product/service at a reduced price or for free. All opinions expressed are mine and honest in nature. I'm not known for my craftiness. The fact that I made bird feeders out of milk jugs was a huge accomplishment for me when it comes to crafts. But when I saw these Chalkboard labels , I couldn't get over just how cute they were. And I thought, surely even I could could create something cute with these. First of all, there are several sizes and shapes to choose from. So the possibilities seem endless for what all you could do with these great Chalkboard labels . They are easiest to remove if you slightly bend where the label starts. And they are also re-positionable. ( I may or may not be speaking from experience ;) But they can be re-positioned up to 20 minutes. And they come with a liquid chalk pen. The liquid chalk pen is a little more watery than other markers. You can reapply to...

Ecosak Nylon Nut Bag Review

By
I have been compensated in the form of a gift card/money/coupon and/or received the product/service at a reduced price or for free. All opinions expressed are mine and honest in nature. Well, can you believe that I am trying out a nut bag to make my own almond milk? (I'll pause a moment so that you can let the shock wear off!) I can honestly say that never in my life did I intend on making my own almond milk. But as you know, we are making some changes to our diet. So I decided I would give it a try.  And with the Ecosak I also received some recipes which really helped since I wasn't really sure what I was supposed to do. I asked Lil Man if he wanted to help me, and he was more than thrilled. Apparently making almond milk was an exciting and fun thing for him. First things first was to wash the Ecosak (easy to do) and soak the nuts. Yep, I put some raw almonds in a bowl, covered them with water and let them soak 6-8 hours or so. After they had been soaked, I...
