I spend a lot of my time online. Granted, I work online, but I also shop online- for groceries, every day items, apparel, and more. I do over 90% of my shopping online, because I dislike lines and traffic and parking lots. There is a better selection online, great customer service, and anything you ever […]
I’m hosting Christmas this year, and I’m really excited about it. The only part I dread is the clean up after. Isn’t it the part we all dread? If everything was self cleaning, we’d all want to host parties all the time. So for now, I have the next best thing to self-cleaning, Easy-Off®, which […]
I asked him to hug his brother. He resisted. I firmly told him to hug his brother. This is what I got: It looks like he is crush-hugging him. Sometimes it’s just better to let things happen naturally.
Hahhaha this is so cute and funny!!!! Thanks for sharing this fun moment out of your day!
AHH! That is one of the cutest things I’ve ever seen, forced or not. You always make me so excited that I’m going to have two boys.
Two boys are the BEST! They are best friends and play mates 🙂 It’s great for parents to have one of each, but it’s great for the kids when they are the same gender and can have a lifelong best friend.
What a priceless and adorable picture!
my gosh.. this is beautiful – crushing or not BLOW IT UP! haha 🙂
Aww!
It is still sweet thought.
That’s how my son hugs everyone, whether he’s happy or not. We have to brace ourselves. 🙂
What a lovely photo of your boys!
That is such a wonderful shot of them! It’s such a trying experience to get my children to look at the camera, especially my feisty and energetic daughter. 🙂
Haha, sounds like something my kids would do. Its a cute picture, though!
lol I love the look on his face. It’s like he is saying okay, how do you like this?
Awww… sometimes I’m resolved that we’re only going to have one child. But then I worry about Evan missing out on the magic of siblings. They’re so cute together!
It’s still a cute picture!!
I think it’s still an adorable picture regardless.
It seems like kids will always do the opposite of what you want them to. Regardless, it’s a precious picture.
This is such an adorable picture! Its so natural as well, as you can see in his eyes he really doesnt want to hug him, but that there is love. Fantastic shot well done !
Aaawww that’s so sweet! At first, I read this as “i told him to firmly hug his brother.” I was thinking.. well, he did! 🙂
That has got to be one of the sweetest photos I have ever seen.
OMG, that picture is priceless though 🙂
How funny! Even if it’s staged, it’s still nice to capture brotherly love!
It is a loving squeeze! lol
Oh my gosh how adorable they are! Beautiful!
Best picture ever! There are few things better than love between siblings.
Ha ha ha – head lock! Future wrestler in the making 🙂
Awwwww, littlest doesn’t seem all that mad about it. 🙂 I think it’s adorable.
I love this pic, and reading the story behind it makes it even more adorable. 🙂
Gorgeous! Period.
Aww super super sweet though!
LOL, and the expression on his face! Adorable.
That’s SOOOO sweet.
LOL super cute. They are getting so big!
This post brought to you by Bolthouse Farms. All opinions are 100% mine. Carrots are tasty, and carrot juice is phenomenal. You’d never know that carrot juice was so sweet and delicious, considering it’s the juice of a vegetable, yet it is. And the carrot farmers of Bolthouse Farms are happy to bring us a […]
Despite juicing at home and loving the creations, I have never tried a Bolthouse Farms beverage. The promotion seems like a cinch and a coupon is the perfect excuse to give some a try!
I love carrot juice but I have only ever had it fresh.
I don’t love carrot juice, but I like some of the other Bolthouse Farms juices, especially the green one.
Yumm I love their juices! Hubby always brings one home as a treat 🙂 The most adorable carrot mustache ever!
I need to try their vanilla chia tea! I love chia tea!
Ooh that C Boost one looks like something I’d love {although a lot of those do}! I need to keep an eye out for that at the store.
I really want to try their juice.
Hmmm. Not sure I could get the boys to go for carrot juice, but the chai tea sounds pretty darn good to mom.
I’m definitely adding these to my grocery list!
This would be great for my family. I know we don’t; get enough of our fruits and veggies in.
Carrots are definitely not one of my favorite vegetables but I would be interested in trying the juice. It looks good.
I’ve never tried this brand of juice before but it looks delish! I will keep an eye out for it.
What a cute little carrot juice mustache! I haven’t heard of this brand but I’d like to try it.
Love Carrot Juice, I try to juice quite often if I haven’t bought it, but this is so easy!
Interesting. I’ve never had carrot juice before. I bet the mango tastes delicious.
I love carrot juice, and I’d probably be like your husband and hide the mocha cappuccino, too. 🙂 I’m not familiar with this brand but will be looking for it, now.
I LOVE bolthouse farms, they have some really tasty drinks!
I usually just make a paste from baking soda and water, rub it on, wait a few hours, and rinse it off. It works pretty well, but if your oven is super dirty (and I’m not judging here – just making a comment :)) it probably won’t work for you. But you oven does look brand new, now, on the inside!
Ugh, my oven is terrible right now. All I use is Easy Off No Fume, it works awesome! And yes, I love hosting dinner for the holidays but clean-up no, not fun at all!
Yes, I wish everything was self-cleaning. 🙂 I always used Easy Off. I am glad they have the no ume version, now.
I love Easy Off too and I generally just suck it up and use the regular one because it works better than Fume-Free. Both of them work, but Fume-Free just takes a little more elbow grease.
Someone else told me the same thing, which is why i thought the Heavy Duty would be good to start with, but frankly for the long haul, my lungs want fume free- I don’t mind exercising my arms a bit 😉
I love a product when it works REALLY well. I always keep Easy-Off around.
I actually use an oven liner on the bottom, it makes it so much simpler for messes that boil over. That being said, it doesn’t help with the sides, top or the door, LOL, so Easy Off is my rescue helper for that mess!
What an amazing difference! My oven is in desperate need of a good cleaning, and although it’s self cleaning, I would love to use Easy-Off on the inner racks and for a pre-clean wipe down.
OH WOW! That’s a crazy good job! It’s so clean. I need to go grab me some!
Wow that works so good. We need this for our oven desperately.
I’ll have to look into this, since the new ovens I have coming will have a lower temp cleaning system.
I need this! Our oven is so hard to clean, but I’d love to try Easy Off and see how it does. Thanks!
Yeah, I need… about a case of this stuff. Even “easy” dishes I can’t seem to cook without something getting all over the oven or stove. 🙂
This reminds me, I need to get some. My oven needs to be cleaned.
Wow that works like it works wonders!! I am in need of this on my oven! I baked a pie and it overflowed and lets just say WHAT A MESS!!!
Wow, it makes a remarkable difference!
My oven is in pretty bad shape! I am gonna pick some of this up to try out.
WOW what a difference! My oven is pretty clean right now but I need to pick this up for the next time I need to clean it.
I typically use baking soda and vinegar but that doesn’t always work
I need this. My oven could use a good scrubbing.
Wow! What a difference that makes!
That is a big difference looks like almost new! I hope your holiday dinner turns out well.
Your before and after are similar to mine.
I love the way Easy Off works. We use it all the time and you literally just have to wipe off the mess.
I’ve used Easy Off on my oven and it does work wonders!
I’m so jealous that your window came clean! Mine did not. 🙁 The rest of my oven looks good, though!
I wasn’t even sure you are supposed to use it on the window (I wasn’t sure if it would damage it) but it worked out well 🙂
