When I got married, I didn't really know the type of man I had married. Sure, I was smitten with his good looks, his amazing singing voice, his sense of humor, and was impressed by his cooking skills, but I didn't see him tested in all aspects of life to know how he would respond to various stimuli. We had only been dating/engaged for about nine months before we said I do at the altar. I mean, I thought he was a great guy who treated others well, but people are always on their best behavior when they are dating and trying to impress someone enough to marry them. It's what "being in love" does to people. But after 9.5 years of ...

Want to know how to get sweat smell out of clothes, perhaps even how to get smell out of workout clothes that still smell after washing? Below you'll discover how to remove sweat smell from shirts and other gym clothes super easily! This post is sponsored by EnviroKlenz but opinions are my own.

And he forgot to pack his deodorant and borrowed mine instead. When he came home he not only came home with the nastiest paintballing bruises I've ever seen (the paintballs ...

We've been homeschooling since the beginning, ever since we realized we couldn't afford preschool for our twins. While the reasons and the conviction to homeschool have changed over the passing years, we've always done school at home. Our twins are now finishing up what would be considered their second-grade year. Academically, they are a bit behind their peers (or so we think), but we just keep moving forward at the pace that is making sense for us. That means we won't be having a "last day of school" party any time soon. We intend to continue schooling over the summer. As a kid I always, always loved summer vacation ...

Curious what to expect when breastfeeding twins? Or if supplementing breastfeeding twins is okay? Then you're in the right place. This discussion is sponsored by Similac but all opinions are my own and should not replace professional medical advice. Before I ever became pregnant, I knew I wanted to breastfeed my babies. I had sister-in-laws who had successfully breastfed their babies and they made it look easy and beneficial. One was very against formula though and seemed to instill within me this idea that formula was bad. Actually, a lot of books and people in my life seemed to make me believe that you weren't as awesome if ...

If you are wondering what causes big babies or are worried about giving birth naturally to a large baby this will help educate you all things big babies. I was born at a whopping 10lbs 13oz and I still wasn't my mother's biggest baby. She had two children before me who were both over 12lbs each. No, I'm not lying. And I have inherited my mother's propensity to birth large babies and go over my due date. My first pregnancy was with twins who weighed 6lbs 15oz and 6lbs 14oz at birth or nearly 7lbs each, making it almost 14lbs of baby, total. And that was 2 weeks and a day before my due date. Imagine if they had kept ...

Want to learn how to clean chrome rims? This is possibly the best way to clean tire rims because you can do it at home and it will even clean up chrome rims with rust! This post is sponsored by Bar Keepers Friend, but all opinions are my own. My husband really like a clean car.

He is often the one running our cars through the car wash or having other people clean it and is a tad OCD about what we do inside the car. We all have our thing. And it's good to take pride in your vehicles. The more you take ...
