This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Avocados from Mexico. All opinions are 100% mine. These days, everyone is shortening words. So “guac” stands for “guacamole.” Believe it or not, I have tasted guacamole only once, a teeny-tiny bit. It was OK. I guess I never found any use for avocados [...]

Outrageous! This constitutes discrimination and encourages violence toward mailmen! Look what litter we found floating around in our yard: My husband was emotionally scarred after seeing this. He is a mailman, and he has had his share of close encounters with monster dogs. He could tell you some stories, Cujo-style, I tell ya. He’s worn [...]

Short version: I LOVE IT. Long version: …read on… While we worked on our kitchen renovation over the summer, I wanted to create a small space for a “media center.” Even if it was just a small bookshelf, I wanted to make a dedicated area for an iPod/mp3 dock. Our previous little CD player was [...]

When they heard that moms were clamoring for wholesome, family-friendly movies for their families, Walmart and P&G released “Secrets of the Mountain.” It is an excellent movie, and we own the DVD- we watch it all the time!
