Carter's Spring Wardrobe Makeover *$50 GC Giveaway*

"I participated in this program on behalf of Carter's and The Motherhood. All opinions are my own."

With the crazy winter we've been having in Ohio this year I am looking forward to Spring. Winter is not my favorite season by any means and after the one we've had this year Spring can't get here soon enough. The other day Pumpkin, Angel and I went and did some Spring wardrobe shopping for Angel. 

BadaBoum Sleep Sack Review

Do you worry that your little one isn't staying warm enough at night? I know that I worry about that right now because even though it's winter I still get hot at night and use the ceiling fan. Since we co-sleep Angel is in our room and seems to get cold during the night. I worry about her getting cold and have tried to have her wear pants and socks but she just kicks them off. That's why I was excited to try a BadaBoum with Angel.

If you have attended college then you know how expensive the text books are. I wish I would have known my options while in College of getting text books.  I bought as many books used as I could to save a little bit of money. I was unaware that you were able to rent the text books to use while in College. Now that I know I want to share the information with everyone so they can save as well.

Monster Jam at Quicken Loans Arena

This year our family is looking forward to Valentine’s Day and it’s not because of flowers or chocolates. Though my boys will never turn away chocolates nor would I flowers. Instead we are excited because we will be going to see Monster Jam when it comes to Cleveland, Ohio! The monster trucks are taking over the town Friday, February 14th through Sunday, February 16th 2014.

 The premier monster truck series, Monster Jam attracts more than four million fans annually at arenas and stadiums throughout the world. Monster Jam events showcase freestyle and racing competition among custom-designed machines that average 12 feet tall by 12 feet wide, sit atop 66-inch-tall tires and weigh a MINIMUM of 10,000 pounds. Built for short, high-powered bursts of speed, monster trucks generate 1,500 to 2,000 horsepower and are capable of speeds of up to 100 miles per hour. Monster trucks can fly up to 125 to 130 feet (a distance greater than 14 cars side-by-side) and up to 35 feet in the air.

 Sounds awesome, right??

Homemade Bread Machine Wheat Rolls

Homemade Bread Machine Wheat Rolls

This is a easy recipe for homemade wheat rolls that uses a bread machine to make the dough: 

These wheat rolls are just as good as what you get at some restaurants! They are very easy to make, but do require rising and resting time so they do take some time to make.  I usually put the ingredients in the bread machine at lunch time and then we have fresh from the oven rolls with our dinner.
