My daughter is addicted to bath fizzies. Of all the things she can be addicted to I guess it could be worse. But a premium bath fizzie can be pricey and when you are taking a bath 3-4 times a week and using one every single time that adds up fast. I have been thinking we should start making our own fizzies at home for some time now. Just for our personal use but I had no idea where to start. Kiss Naturals makes a kit so we can try making our own bath fizzies at home. It's a great way to see if ...
The Legend of the Easter Robin
When most children think of Easter they think of the Easter Bunny, coloring eggs and getting baskets filled with candy. But there's more to Easter than a chocolate bunny. The Legend of the Easter Robin helps reminds us and teaches our children that there is more to Easter. Tressa is the main character of The Legend of the Easter Robin. When we first meet Tressa it's spring time and Easter is approaching. One day Tressa notices a Robin making a nest right outside the window. It's a little early ...
He Named Me Malala
I am a highly educated woman living in the United States of America. My daughter started kindergarten this fall. She's already talking about college and all the fun she anticipates having in the years to come. For us this is normal. We send our daughter's to school without a second thought. We live in a country where girls are required to attend school or be homeschooled just as we require the boys. There are no separate rules for girls. We are fortunate that this mentality is our norm. Some are ...
Zootopia: A Place Where You Can Be Anything
Last night Peyton and I were lucky enough to get into a sneak peak of Zootopia! And when I say we were lucky I am not kidding. The place was packed! When we arrived an hour and a half before the start time the line had already formed. There were about 50 people ahead of us. And here I thought we were going to be the first ones there. Boy was I wrong. All the children in line were extremely excited to see Zootopia. Peyton has seen numerous trailers for the movie and her favorite character is ...
Never Be Stuck Again
Living in Minnesota we know extreme weather. It can be in the thirties and gorgeous in the morning and a blizzard by lunch time. I live in a fairly rural area just outside the suburbs. So we have pockets of homes and in either direction there's a town within about 15 minutes. That means there are plenty of roads not traveled often. They are usually one of the last roads to be plowed and ice tends to build up on them due to lack of traffic. Have you ever slid off the road because of the ice? ...
My Ipsy February Bag Has Arrived!
Every month I look forward to my Ipsy bag arriving. Sometimes it's the middle of the month. Sometimes the end of the month. I never know when my little bright pink bubble mailer is going to make an appearance in my mail box. But when it does I sure do get excited! This month was just an ok bag, there's a few things I will probably not use. But that's the beauty of the IPSY bag. I get to try products I would normally not buy and see how I like them. The little bag this month is super cute. I ...
