Getting tender with my Cave Tool!

I love spices and flavors of all sorts, but my husband is more of a salt and pepper guy.  My work around is that I can get away with adding spice to a meat if I can make that meat so tender that it melts in the mouth.  After a ton of experimenting I found the best way to do this was to not only add some liquid, either your sauce or just plan water/chicken stock and cover for 3/4 of your cooking time, but to make sure the meat was well tenderized.

FatCats Review

We wanted to have one final fun filled day before my daughter started her first day of school.  One of our favorite things to do as a family is to go bowling.  So, we headed out to the newest place to bowl, FatCats.  Check out our trip!

Label your Little one!!

So, it's my first borns' first time going to school away from me!  I have gone back and forth between being completely excited and proud of the kid she is becoming; to an emotional mess who isn't ready to let her out in that big bad world.  To avoid the emotions I have been busying myself with getting her ready.  I have gotten all her supplies, first day of school outfit, meet the teacher outfit, back up supplies, showing her the pictures online of her teacher, talking about how to handle not nice kids, pretty much anything that comes to mind to keep myself from the emotional side of it.  After spending all this money though the last thing I want is for her stuff to get lost or taken by mistake so do I ruin it by dragging out the Sharpie?  

Gilbert has a FAT CATS!!!!

This is right in my neck of the woods!  Or at least it is until we move so I'm thinking I may just have to check it out with the littles! So, what in the world am I talking about? Well, we have a FatCats in Gilbert now!  FatCats is a family entertainment center! They have 5 centers located in Utah, Colorado and Idaho with a brand new center coming soon to Gilbert, Arizona!!

Black Friday!

Black Friday is most mom's superbowl.  We spend all year prepping, watching deals to make sure we get the best, putting cash aside so we can afford the things we want without putting debt on the family, maybe going to the same stores so we can manuever through better since we are familiar with the layout, and then collecting those Wed adds that we go through comparing and planning our driving schedule to hit the sales and get what we need.  We will stay up or get up at ridiculous hours just to brave the cold only to sweat while we juggle shopping carts or multiple boxes fueled by sheer will and caffeine.  I love the deals and hate the rest, but what else can you do?  Some of us will be able to pull double duty and shop online while we are in line.  Check out these Black Friday Deals!

GiftCardRescue.com Review

It's the holiday season and what is our go to gift for those hard to ship for, far away, or with little suitcase room?  Gift Cards!  Now, I love gift cards, but sometimes you can end up giving or getting a gift card that you will never use and know it.  Maybe the store isn't near you or it's just not something you will end up getting time to go use, whatever the reason, sometimes a gift card can end up just sitting there.  Nothing bother's me more than a wasted gift, but there are ways to change a gift that would normally be unused into something practical.

Conquer Spring Allergies Naturally with Hyland’s

Allergy season is here!  I have never in my life had allergies before, until I moved to Arizona.  This year has been the worst!  A few weeks ago I was so congested and my eyes were so swollen I was scaring my clients!  The kids I care for have been having allergy issues as well and some have even required medicine!  It's insane!  So, with nothing to block the pollen that blows across the valley I'm stuck trying to find ways to help ease my allergies!  

Sparkle Farms Bloomer Shorts Review

Our little girls are so adorable!  I know that mine loves to dress up, is obsessed with shoes, and skirts are a favorite item to wear.  The problem is that she has a brother, while I'm not sure it would make a huge difference, they play rough at times.  They have snow ball fights in the snow, dig in the dirt, and whatever little boy thing he does she is right there with him.  These aren't exactly skirt friendly!  So, I end up having to constantly remind her to pull her skirt down, or to sit differently.
