I have to admit that I enjoy a lot of the reality TV shows that are out right now. Reality TV at one time was more of a guilty pleasure, but there is such a wide variety of quality shows now that everyone is watching!

Some of our favorites are the musical reality shows, like The Voice. The “blind audition” portion is one of the best additions to any show, I think. It’s awesome that the contestants are being judged solely on their voice at that point.

Of course, it doesn’t hurt that Blake Shelton is on the show, either. I love him as a judge and as a performer, so having him on there makes it fun to watch. I’m also looking forward to Gwen Stefani joining the panel this next season! Continue reading »

Clean Your Closets and Update Your Summer Wardrobe with Swapdom

While I started spring cleaning back in February or March, it’s a process that seems to always run into the start of summer.  The general deep cleaning and refreshing is completed, but there are still the random odds and ends you haven’t decided what to do with.  And of course, there are the clothes.

Culling through our spring clothes to decide what we need for summer is usually the last item on my list.  Mostly because Bubbles still grows fast enough that, depending on the brand, you’re never really sure what’s still going to fit two weeks down the road.  So I usually find myself waiting until I realize she only has one pair of shorts or a closet full of long-sleeved shirts on an 80 degree day, and finally make the switch.

What always makes me sad about this process is that Bubbles is not really a rough-and-tumble kid.  Her clothes stay in great shape, she just outgrows them too fast to wear for very long.  This year I even specifically purchased a more “laid back” Easter dress so that she could at least wear it to Ashley and Austin’s graduations and I’d feel less bad about buying something worn three times versus just once.

I’m sure we’ve all had that day where we’re looking in the mirror and feel like nothing is right. Your hair won’t do exactly what you wanted, your makeup isn’t quite covering up the fact you only squeezed in three hours of sleep the night before, and the dress you choose is clinging a little more than you’d care for.

I had one of those days recently as we were getting ready to go somewhere, and as I ran through a mental list of what I wish I had time or ability to change, Bubbles comes up and stands next to me. She’s also in a new dress that she picked out and hasn’t wanted to take off for days, and as she looks at our reflection, she comments, “Mama you are so pretty. And we are the same, we match in our pretty dresses!”

It made me pause and take a second look. She was right about being the same, and more than just that we were both wearing dresses. We have the exact same hair, and while I always tell her how beautiful hers is (because it is), here I was complaining about how mine looked. And it’s impossible to be cranky about how you look when you have a sweet little girl following you around telling you how pretty you are. Continue reading »

Make Breakfast a Treat with Brummel & Brown

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Brummel & Brown.

When I was elementary school-aged and younger, I spent many summer and weekend nights sleeping over at my grandparents’ house. There was just so much to do down there, from fishing to picking berries to baking with my Gram. And as my brothers and cousins were born, they added to the mix, until our sleepovers counted six grandkids all spread out over the floor.

In the mornings, Gram always cooked us breakfast, though breakfast seems like an insignificant word for what she cooked. Everyone had their favorites, and everything was cooked to order: eggs were fried, scrambled, made into omelets, or in my case fried but egg white-only. And of course, there was the homemade toast with real butter.

These days, though, I think a little more about the calories than I did when I was a kid.  And so while I still love the taste of real butter, I’m usually reaching for something else to spread on my toast.  After seeing it while shopping at Target, what I have been reaching for lately is Brummel & Brown spread.
