Have you thought about what you are going to get that special man in your life? I have always been one to sit down with my children around Father’s Day and create a DIY gift. My husband loves receiving gifts from the children that come from the heart. However, he wouldn’t complain if I threw a case of beer in there too! A few years ago, I came across a wonderful idea on a parenting forum that I used to frequent. Why not create DAD a special frame? It’s a gift that is easy to … Continue reading

Kristin McKinley (Born 2 Be Mom) in For the love of parenting, Just Between Us, Organized Chaos Blogaholics, Uncategorized - 0 comments - posted on May 24th, 2013When my husband and I were recently given the opportunity to buy my childhood home, the offer was much too good to refuse. It happened fast, at the end of February (no coincidence then that it’s been as long since my last post for PTPA! And YES, I’ve missed it!) So when we made the decision to move, we knew we had work to do. Not only was there packing involved, but our old house needed to be in top shape for sale. We had cleaning to do, and painting, and flooring to replace and a number of other things … Continue reading

How Many Kids? Is there a Magic Number?
Julie Cole in For the love of parenting, Just Between Us - 4 comments - posted on May 22nd, 2013According to a recent study, the most stressful number of kids to have is three. I remember being a mom of one—though it wasn’t for long—and finding it difficult. Truthfully, I didn’t find it exciting enough, and there were times it could be quite boring. When I look back now, and think of how I was juggling a baby and law school, I wonder how the word boredom ever factored in. These days, I’d jump for a warm serving of boring. I was a happier mom once my second child arrived, 15 months after my first. Even after suffering a … Continue reading

I had to visit Image 3D, create an account, and from there I was flying… … Continue reading

It’s been an amazing opportunity that has allowed me to test out many of the common household products that one would find kicking around. So when PTPA put out a calling for testers of the new Bounty DuraTowel I couldn’t pass up the opportunity. Conveniently the day I began my testing of the Bounty DuraTowel a bag of milk had exploded in my milk tray. All it took to clean up the mess was several sheets of DuraTowels. I was able to soak up a lot of the mess, and … Continue reading
