Let Your Child Help Train Your Dog!

There’s no reason why your child shouldn’t be involved in teaching your dog good manners. After all, they’re going to be spending a fair bit of time together.
Most children from the age of ten can train their dog, with help from an experienced trainer. Dogs are very clever animals, and can learn many behaviors. However, [...]

How To Make Your Own Rotisserie Chicken

I usually buy Rotisserie chickens for quick meals, but once I learned of this recipe from the Slow Cooker recipe book, I was hooked. Not only does it save money, but it’s delicious. First, rinse the chicken and remove the neck and giblets (you can also buy the chicken with these already removed). Then you [...]

Female Libido: Is It Lost After Having Kids?

 
The American Medical Association claims that several million U.S. women suffer from lack of libido and others claim that the number is almost half of American women. Some may think this is an outrageous number, but if you are a mom like me- you may think that number is pretty darn close. Once you have [...]

Temporary Safety Tattoos to Prevent Lost Kids

 
Have you ever lost your child at a supermarket, theme park or mall? I haven’t had that experience yet and hopefully never will, but I remember getting lost as a child. It is a scary feeling even if it is just at a small grocery store. Many thoughts are running through both the parent’s and child’s minds. [...]

Eco-Friendly Gift Wrapping Tips

I’ve been thinking lately about how much paper goes to waste during the Holiday season. I know at our past Christmases we’ve had garbage bags full of wrapping paper. According to the Clean Air Council, In the U.S., an additional 5 million tons of waste is generated during the holidays. Four million tons of this is [...]

Today was just a lounge-around day. It is supposed to be one of the nicest days this week, so we decided to go to the beach. We have to walk a few blocks to get there, but Grandma is smart and rented a wagon, beach chairs and other things from a rental center on the island. I can’t believe there is probably still snow on the ground at home. This weather kind of makes me want to move somewhere warmer!

When we got to the beach the boys dove right in. The ocean is freezing, but they were boogie boarding and skim-boarding the whole day.

 I think Colton has allergies like his Dad. He spent the first half of the time at the beach sniffling and sneezing. He soon forgot about them after he stole my Diet Pepsi!

We had plenty of entertainment on the beach, but then again, my brothers are always entertaining. Seagulls were flying around waiting for us to throw a scrap, but the boys couldn’t just throw a dorito and be done with it. Ben had a great idea to see if a seagull could take the dorito out of his hand….

Didn’t work.

    OK, on to something else. How about out of the mouth?

Nope.

Ok so maybe they won’t see me if I’m buried under the sand. I can put a Dorito right on top.

Soon all of the seagulls were swarming around him trying to grab the Doritos. I think it scared the crap out of him! I don’t think Ben will ever mess with seagulls again.

We ended the night with dinner at Lee Roy Selmon’s, which only has locations in Florida, but I think they should expand. If you are in the Florida area, you should definitely check out this restaurant for some southern comfort food!

After our day of traveling to the Tampa area, we had to waste a few hours before our check-in time at 4:00 at the house on Anna Maria. I have three teenage brothers (and one brought a friend), so we had to find something for them to do or else the van would turn into [...]
