Single Cup Club
I am the only coffee drinker in the house so making a full pot of coffee was a complete waste. I normally only have one morning cup of coffee and that's it for the day. So a few years ago I invested in a Keurig. It seemed to make the most sense for my lifestyle. I can make one cup at a time and not waste a whole pot of coffee everyday. Plus I can make hot tea and hot cocoa in it too. And since there is just me drinking coffee it can take a while to go through a box of k cups. I also like variety ...

If you have a young child at home I am sure you have heard of Blaze and the Monster Machines. The first time my daughter saw Blaze and the Monster Machines on Nick Jr she was addicted. She loved the show. Peyton would rush home from school and ask me to see if it was on. If it wasn't she would head straight to her iPad and watch it. This went on for a few weeks until she'd seen every episode she could get her little hands on. Then we, I mean she, discovered Blaze and the Monster Machines ap on ...
Everything Has a Place
A few months ago we were on a road trip. The longer we were away from home the more things we seemed to be accumulating until the SUV was full. Like full up to the ceiling of the car. Last summer we went camping and by the time I got all our gear and food packed into the SUV same thing. We were bursting out the windows. As I was driving with this car full of stuff the one thing that kept going through my mind was please don't shift and fall on my daughter! I had made sure the only things around ...
