This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of The Home Depot. All experiences and opinions are my own.

I took the Finish Rise and Shine Challenge to test Finish® Quantum® with New Power Gel was because I always pre-rinse my dishes and I wash my pots and utensils by hand even though they’re dishwasher safe. I do this because I doubt any dishwasher detergent can do as good a job as I can [...]

This year my husband, Paul, is creating a raised bed garden. It’s an experiment because we’re new to the Athens, Georgia area, so raised bed gardening – complete with a deer fence – is a different way of gardening for us. Paul and the kids are hopeful, and have already started growing plants from seedlings. [...]

This post is sponsored by Seventh Generation. I’m a big fan of Seventh Generation and have been using their laundry products for several years now. I feel good about using any of their cleaning products since I know that they’re environmentally safe and free of harmful chemicals. I also like that they have “free and [...]

Even though I had my shoulder surgery last October, I was still experiencing a lot of pain during the recovery process. My neck and shoulder muscles were especially affected since they were over compensating for weak rotator cuff muscles and were tight and swollen. I was also going to physical therapy two to four hours [...]

(She’s missing several adult teeth and has no wisdom teeth.) Also, my son, Nathan has braces, which requires even better dental hygiene. Anything I can do to encourage [...]

The secret to a successful movie night is preparation. Seriously! Now I know what you’re thinking – just turn on a movie, sit on the couch, and watch it, right? Not at my house. First, there’s the movie selection – do it beforehand! My husband is the type of guy who’ll sit there for half [...]

I don’t know about you, but as someone who loves food, I often end up wearing what I’m cooking or eating. Of course, being chesty certainly is part of the problem and why most of my t-shirts have a few stains on the front. Even when I wear an apron, inevitably I spill something on [...]

When we were house shopping here in Georgia, I was envious of the homes that had built-in wine coolers in their kitchens.

I certainly do on Amazon and list everything from books I want to read, to kitchenware I’m lusting over, to photography equipment I need for my food blogging. Much of the time, I use these lists [...]
