Our Rocky Mountain Family Adventure: Part III
Looking to send a postcard with a spectacular mountain range, a glacier, or wild animals on it? Then the town of Jasper, located in the heart of Canada’s Rocky Mountains, is the destination for you. Last summer we flew into Calgary and stuffed as much luggage as is humanly possible into a rental car.

Both children took a couple pills and unfortunately only one made it through after heroic efforts by a nearby hospital. This mom is now an advocate for telling parents the danger of these drugs and how to make sure they are kept safe out of little hands. Because of…

Inspirational Mom :: Shelly Ehler of Show No Towels
You know when you come across a product and think “I wish I had thought of that!” Well, that is how I felt when I came across the very clever idea that Shelly Ehler created with her Show No Towels. You might have seen her on ABC’s Shark Tank last year where she pitched her idea and business. Or possibly seen her talking on TV or on the radio about how Disney Resorts is now offering her towels with Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse. Talk about hitting the jackpot idea! I met Shelly at one of Tory Johnson’s Spark & Hustle events and we spoke a moment…

Fashion :: Update Your Spring Wardrobe With Some Fun Pieces

It is actually colder here than it has been in weeks! While the weather is not neccesssarily cooperating, I am still excited and looking forward to the warmer temps and the change in wardrobe. I always find myself challenged as the seasons change and winter to spring is certainly no exception.It can be a little tricky to transition your wardrobe so it’s important to have pieces that can take you from one season to…

Spring officially started last week and I am so happy to see the sun out and birds chirping! Springtime is a time of new beginnings. We have been working on our house, slowly de-cluttering the random stuff that somehow manages to find its way onto my counters and kitchen table!

My daughter starts spring break tomorrow afternoon and we are working on our Things To Do List this weekend. Here are some fun crafts you can do with the kids while on break that would look great…
