This post brought to you by Hiltons of Branson. All opinions are 100% mine. I have always wanted to head on over to Branson, Missouri and now the Hilton Promenade at Branson Landing has sweetened the pot enticing me even further! The Village People are coming to Branson, Missouri on May 13th, and the Hilton Promenade is the only place to stay, offering exclusive ticket

I don't know. Reece has had the same karate instructor for the past 6 years and then one night - he was gone. Off to do his own thing. No one can blame him, but I considered him kind of like family - We save him every week for 6 years! Plus, in the last session Betsy decided to start karate! YEA!We went back last week and met the new instructor. Completely different style of teaching than our

Well, it was a nice sunny day today in Charlotte, NC...that is until the storm rolled around. Then my kids had to come inside. What to do? What to do? Well, Betsy ran to the cupboard and pulled out The Moon Dough Magic Zoo and she and Reece played with it while I made dinner.The Moon Dough Magic Zoo includes:• 1 Magic Molding Zoo• 2 Winder Walkers• 3 Animal Molds• 1 Fence Mold• 3 Colors of Moon

Home Office Make Over Event Day 3 During this whole "Home Office Make Over Event" one of the things I always kept in the back of my mind was that I wanted to enjoy my office because I spend so much time there.

My “filing system” (if you can call it that) looks as if it was put together by my three dogs. I have file folders laying flat, papers just shoved in random notebooks, nothing is labeled properly.

I spend a minimum of 8 hours in my Home Office a day. Since I spend so much time there it is easy for me to ignore the "cleaning" aspect of it because I just want to get out of there when my day is done if you know what I mean! But alas! It must be done! It also feels so much better when you are actually working in a clean environment. I know, at least in my case, I am a lot more productive when

Friday Night soccer with my team has pretty much been one of my favorite things to do for as long as I remember. I have made some good friends on that team and we can play a mean game of soccer! I have always prided myself on being there every game, hardly ever missing. Rain, heat, snow can't keep me away!But this season has been different.

We are a sports loving family. I play soccer on a Womens League every Friday night and my kids are always involved with one sport or another all through the year and keeping our clothes clean and fresh is definitely important!Keeping athletic apparel clean, fresh and looking good can be a challenge. That’s because sport stains and odors can be particularly difficult to remove from clothing –

When debt is hanging over your head, even everyday activities like walking to the mailbox or answering the phone seem daunting. Who has sent you to collections now? Which creditor is calling you?

These days it seems like we are rushing around a million miles a minute trying to get so many things done, but we rarely take time for ourselves. As much as we don't like to admit it, we do need a break. We do need to be pampered. We need to schedule "ME TIME" into our busy lives. We need to do it because it helps us recharge and continue to go a million miles a minute!What a better way to '

You know how it is. Make a New Years Resolution to eat more fiber, tell yourself every week, "I will eat more fiber!" and then, you fail to do so.

Prior to the career I have now, I worked in retail for many, many years so I know that return policies are really a pain in the behind for most employees because customers always want to do something, like get their money back, even if it means not following the return policy. Because of my retail experience, I really do feel for retail employees. They go through a lot of bad apples in a day and

I will be the first to admit it...I can easily get stressed out...And not just about big things. Little things can kind of creep up on me and ruin my day. I struggle all the time with learning how to change my behavior when it comes to stressful situations, and sometimes a light pops on and one behavior change can change the outcome of a situation.One behavior change that I try to focus on is

Sometimes, just sometimes, you want to do something for several reasons, but without knowing exactly the most important reason. This is the way I felt about spending our Christmas Eve with HomeTown Heroes.What exactly were they doing? HomeTown Heroes has several families they "watch over". These families have children that have been affected by cancer. Yes - children. Cancer is a horrible disease

I have had several MP3 players I am afraid. And none of them have been easy to use. The last one I had, I don't even know if it had a real brand name attached to it, was such a problem. Do you know what I had to do in order to upload music to it? My PC did not recognize the hardware, but I only upload music on my pc so that was problem number one. Once I downloaded the music to the pc I copied it

Where has the art of comics gone? That is what I would like to know. I know that my son Reece, is always stopping me when we are in the library to look at the comics, but I seriously cannot find them anywhere. Am I living under a rock?

Looking for the perfect gift for a little girl this Holiday Season? What about books that are fun to read? I know Betsy is required to read at least 20 minutes per day at home each day. Luckily for me Betsy loves to read so that is not a problem! But what really seems to help, is that for the most part I let her choose her own books to read (of course they have to be age appropriate).And now I

Since my Dad has moved here to North Carolina he has been SEARCHING and SEARCHING for a good barber shop...and he has yet to find one. I think it is difficult for men to find good Barber Shops especially when you compare the number of barbershops there are against the number of places there are for women to get pampered. Men deserve to be pampered too don't they?Well, if you are anywhere near a

I really love cooking and I found a cookbook that I will use over and over again. It is called Simply Southern With a Dash of Kosher Soul. Now, I am not Jewish, nor do I know anything about "kosher" cooking, but I do know it is very important to some people and I completely respect that. But when I hear the word "kosher," I don't know what happens, I immediately start thinking "Oh it must be
