    Transformers: Robots in Disguise – A New Autobot Mission DVD Review

    October 20, 2015 /

    Transformers: Robots in Disguise – A New Autobot Mission DVD Review I was sent the Transformers: Robots in Disguise – A New Autobot Mission DVD for review.

The new mission begins when Bumblebee has to step up to be leader in the years following…

    Tech :: 5 Google Apps that Help with Homework

    October 20, 2015 /

    Is it a daily struggle to have your kids work on their homework ?  Sometimes I am amazed at how much homework my daughter has at such a young age.  I don’t remember having that much homework until junior high.  But there are tools that can help you get and keep your kids motivated and excited about learning.  I think that is key – to have them look at their homework as less of a chore and focus on all the cool things they are learning about their world! Google Play is here to help!  Google Play just launched a new collection of free back to school-themed apps and below…

    Meet Vivian Howard from “A Chef’s Life”

    October 20, 2015 /

      Have you ever dreamed of selling everything and moving to a slower-paced town?  I have to be honest, we have entertained that idea a couple times!  It always gets back to what type of work would we do!  I’d love to have a farm where we grow our own food – but let’s be realistic here, I don’t know if I am cut out for that.  But one woman, Chef Vivian Howard surely is!  I love her story and think you will too – along with the tasty okra recipe she shared with us! PBS’s A Chef’s Life, the character-driven docu-series that takes viewers inside the life and kitchen of Chef Vivian Howard and her two restaurants…

    Dwell :: Our Kitchen Redo – Part One

    October 19, 2015 /

          Buying Your First Home: Buying your first home is such an exciting new journey but it can be stressful!  We had looked all over Orange County and ended up buying a place about 50 yards from our apartment.  I guess you could say we liked the area.  The day we signed the papers happened to fall on my birthday so we had some chocolate cake and a glass of champagne in our new home that night.  My sweet husband even carried me across the threshold into our home. We immediately had the floors replaced with bamboo flooring and had the house painted, and ceilings scraped before we moved in.  If you have the…

    Crafts :: DIY Decorative Halloween Pumpkins

    October 18, 2015 /

        Spiders, skeletons, spooky ghosts and pumpkins! That is what October is all about. I always try to do something fun with our pumpkins and this year I have decided to make them less scary and more decorative. I may even decide to keep them around until Thanksgiving, with minor adjustments of course. Seasonal crafts can turn out to be pretty expensive but with a good eye you can make some that are more affordable. What I like and look for are flowers and ribbons, pieces of fabric in colors I love.  And of course, I love to glitter too. You will need: Fake craft pumpkins I bought mine at Michael’s…
