10 Things to Look At on Pinterest

by Karen Mendes | DIY | 28 Comments

Pinterest, Pinterest, Pinterest. It's what everyone is talking about. Pinterest is the place to hang out. It's where all the cool kids hang... or the cool moms. It's the place to get great ideas, to learn new DIY skill's, to get inspired, to find great recipes (and sometimes bad ones), and to waste a lot of time. Haha. Seriously I am sure you've all wasted time getting sucked into Pinterest at least once or twice. I know I have about 100 times a week. But that's not so bad. Pinterest inspires me to do things, to make things, to try things and to blog sometimes too! I get ideas and think to myself (being a blogger that is) "I can do that too and I can blog about it!". I have a...

by Karen Mendes | 2021 Holiday Gift Ideas, Hasbro Toys/Games, Product Review | 1 Comment

This post is Sponsored by Hasbro but my opinions are 100% my own! The Game of Life is another favorite in our house.

Check out these FUN Tricksters Bike Helmets and some Bike Safety Tips

by Karen Mendes | Giveaways, Kid Stuff, Product Review | 2 Comments

This post is Sponsored by Tricksters Helmets but my opinions are 100% my own! Spring is here which means we are outdoors a lot more and that means the girls will be riding their bikes. Time to talk about bike safety. We live in a neighborhood set back a few streets from the main road but there is still a good amount of traffic that comes by our house. So I make sure that I'm outside when the girls are riding their bikes and we always practice safety as well. They have a certain area on our street they can ride to and from since they are still too young to ride off without me on their own. One of my daughters still has her training wheels on her bike, which I'm hoping to get off this...

Turkey and Avocado Sandwich

by Karen Mendes | Recipes, Yummy Sandwiches | 15 Comments

One of my favorite sandwiches is a Turkey Avocado Sandwich and I almost always have these ingredients on hand. Here is what you need: 2 oz of Sliced Deli Turkey 1/3 of Ripe Avocado (or more or less if you want) 4 slices of Tomato Wheat Bread/Sandwich Thins Mayo You can add bacon too! Doesn't that look delicious??? Well it was, and healthy too! The first time I ever had Turkey and Avocado together was at a restaurant where I got a turkey burger with a slice of avocado and I loved it! Then I was in NYC for a blogging event and had another Turkey and Avocado sandwich but that was made with carved turkey, crisp bacon, avocado, and bean sprouts! I remember it so well because I had never had...

by Karen Mendes | Product Review | 3 Comments

Spring is here and that doesn't just mean you can open the windows, spend more time outdoors and start getting your garden ready, but it also means it's time to do some Spring Cleaning inside and get all those winter germs out of the house. While I don't like cleaning very much, I do enjoy Spring cleaning and going through the house and getting all the winter dust off everything! Over the next two weeks I'll be doing my Spring Cleaning. I'll also be using some Total Home products from CVS/Pharmacy while cleaning. The Total Home line launched last year to offer customers exceptional, reliable options at fraction of the cost when compared to national brands, without sacrificing quality....
