Taking Care Of Ourselves First Sometimes…. #Marriage

Welcome to this week’s happy marriage Monday! Today I wanted to share a tip on how to be happily married that has nothing to do with your spouse, because sometimes in order to be a good wife, you need to focus on yourself. That means sometimes taking a small break to relax. That means learning […]

  • I have a really hard time saying no! I’m definitely going to work on this.

  • Anne - Mommy Has to Work

    I have way too much on my plate!! Not sure I can do the Happy Marriage rules today! 🙁
    But thanks for the reminders, I need to follow this!

Amazing Asparagus- Three Light Summer Recipes

Asparagus is one of my favorite fat burning foods- it’s delicious and incredibly nutritious. Asparagus is full of folate and potassium and the stalks are rich with cancer-fighting anti-oxidants. Low-calorie asparagus is perfect as a side dish, or on its own as a light summer lunch. Check out some easy asparagus recipes for summer: Oven […]

  • Yummy! I love asparagus!

  • I love asparagus! Thanks for sharing these recipes!

  • Tammy

    Asparagus is something I love but my family not so much – but that’s okay with me because then when I make it for dinner…I get to eat it all and don’t have to share.

  • Kimberly

    These look really good! I haven’t had asparagus in ages. Now I am really in the mood for it. Humm… I wonder why? LOL!

  • Asparagus is probably our favorite vegetable around here. We eat it all the time … in a variety of ways.

    Those sound like some very delicious recipes, thanks for sharing them!

  • Dana @ Alfabet Soup

    I LOVE asparagus! I like to blanch it, put some sea salt on it, and eat it just like that. Thanks for posting this! I will try these.

  • Fitness Queen

    The asparagus with sole looks soooo tasty! Before my dieting days I used to wrap asparagus or green beans in bacon—but this is such a healthier & tastier looking alternative!

  • I love your oven roasted asparagus recipe! I also like adding asparagus to my salads.

Keeping What’s Important In Perspective

If you want to feel rich, just count the things you have that money can’t buy. ~Proverbs Time is more valuable than money. You can get more money, but you cannot get more time. ~Jim Rohn You can only become truly accomplished at something you love. Don’t make money your goal. Instead, pursue the things […]

    As some who isn’t working for health reasons, I love and appreciate these quotes!

  • Tammy

    They say that’s a common reason for marriage to fall apart because of money issues – either the way it is spent or the thought that there “isn’t enough”. Those quotes are great reminders that we can’t be always wanting to amass more and more. Sure money can sometimes make life easier, but it doesn’t make one more happy.

  • Shop with Me Mama (Kim)

    Those are some great quotes!

  • Kelly

    I love the quotes from the Bible! I really try to remember that when I feel the wants or feel bad because I can’t go somewhere or do something. It’s not that it’s not possible – it’s that my priorities are in a different place and paying off loans or saving for my daughter’s college fund take priority.

  • I love all these quotes! I used to be in debt terribly. I’ll never go back there and I’m much happier paying cash for everything.

  • Penelope

    I’m so happy to hear that they helped you…I love to read wise thoughts from others, they inspire me when I’m down.

NOOK Color eReader Review and Giveaway #Technology

We recently got a NOOKColor for my son. My Kindle is too boring for a child, and the iPad is way to expensive, so Barnes and Noble’s NOOK Color seemed like a great way to cultivate his love of reading while introducing him to the modern age of gadgets. We are a family of readers […]

Because He Should Be Comfy Too

This is my little man: When we drive places and little man is sitting in his car seat, he often falls asleep. His head would flop over because we didn’t have a baby sleep pillow in the car seat to support his head while he napped: Sometimes while napping his neck would bend at weird […]

    Wish they would have had these when Sweetums was a baby. I had to roll two little blankets and place them on either side of her head. Too many times I had to pull off the road because her head would be in a position where Sweetums wasn’t breathing well. Seeing baby’s face turn blue in the rear view mirror is not good.

  • Penelope

    Oh my goodness, I would think not! His head rolled over twice where I couldn’t believe he’d be able to breath. I’m so grateful for those mirrors that let you see your child while driving, even when they are rear facing. Poor Sweetums!

  • Cute. It use to scare me when their heads flopped. Zoe’s still does this when sleeping in the car, so I’m always fixing it.

  • That is so much better, and so cute too! It really does make for a much more restful nap!

  • Kelly

    That giraffe is adorable (and so is your son)! My daughter’s head does that too but she would never leave it in place long enough for her head to be supported – she’d have it in her lap playing.

  • HilLesha

    Awwww, what a cutie! And, the giraffe is utterly adorable.

  • Anne - Mommy Has to Work

    very good idea! What cutie he is!

  • Oh my goodness, I want to pinch his little cheeks 😉

  • Shop with Me Mama (Kim)

    Your little man is soooo adorable!!

  • JulieD

    How cute and what a clever idea. I love the giraffe and the monkey!

  • Lisa @ Oh Boy Oh Boy Oh Boy

    they are so cute

  • those are adorable! I’ll have to look into one of those before our 12 hour drive to Minnesota in 2 months!

  • I need to get one of those! My 4 year old falls asleep in the car and her seat doesn’t give her any place to really put her head. It ends up just flopping forward.

  • Tammy

    We have one of these too – I even used it on our last car trip to keep my neck from getting a kink in it! I love how soft it is.

  • Annie @ Mama Dweeb

    He has the most DARLING eyelashes!! Oh my word 🙂

    I know my daughter would love one of these. I had no idea they even made cute ones in animal shapes! Thanks!
