IVORY Free & Gentle Body Wash Provides Peace of Mind for Busy Families
Today’s post is brought to you by PG&E. Ivory soap is one of America’s most historic, iconic brands. Starting 138 years ago with a floating bar of soap, Ivory was the original gentle family brand you could trust. Times have changed since 1879, but more than ever consumers need brands that are safe and gentle enough for their family. Ivory aims to simplify life so you can spend more time on the things that matter most. I have used Ivory soap since I was a kid. It has been our go-to brand because we liked the scents they offered and it never dried out our skin. And now Ivory has come…

Send the Perfect Care Package to Your College Student!
During my first year in college, my parents sent me a couple care-packages throughout the year and I still remember how exciting it was to get something from home. Though our kids don’t like to show they are anxious about heading off on their own, I know that I was pretty nervous watching my dad walk into our small-town airport (I went to Chico State and the airport was teeny tiny back in the day) and head up the ramp onto the plane. I remember thinking “now what?!” I was on my own and didn’t know anyone. Luckily, I became fast friends with my dorm roommates but being out on…

Being a Mom (What it Means to Me)
Trying to put into words what being a mom is – to me. It’s hard. I can’t explain it. It’s like a combination of feelings, words, hope, happiness, sometimes sadness and/or grief, being scared or nervous, anticipation, wonderment and awe, as if every feeling I’ve ever experienced is multiplied times a thousand and it leaves me at a loss for words. It’s not simple … yet it is. When I look at my two kids I can instantly see them as if they were just placed into my arms. I can see them or imagine them when they’re graduating or getting married or having children of their own. It’s rewarding…

The Seat Belt Safety Campaign Aims to Keep our Tweens Safe
Last week I was driving with my daughter and I happened to look over at the car next to me while waiting at a stoplight. I was so shocked to see a child no more than 6 years old moving around in the back seat, obviously not buckled in. It took moment for me to register this. I looked to the driver with shock on my face. I was ready to say something (not sure what) but then the light changed and I lost my chance. It really isn’t my business, I know, but when it comes to seeing a child potentially in a dangerous situation, mama bear comes out…

Putting the HAHAHA in the HOHOHO
Image courtesy of Flickr It’s December (very much so) and my tree’s up but there’s nothing under it. Unless you count the tree skirt … does that count? And yes, you read that right: nothing under it! I always put a lot of thought into what I get every one. I want them to go “wow, just what I needed” or “I love it” so I do a lot of looking and window shopping [procrastinating]. What happens each and every year and seems to get later and later (pretty soon I’ll be out with all the men on Christmas Eve scurrying … oh who am I fooling I usually am out *lol*).…
