About a week ago I shared with you that I was working on the Champions for Kids Spin into Action Simple Service Project.  Champions for Kids continues to work to inspire and motivate millions of people

The very first time I participated in a Champions for Kids Simple Service Project was last December.  At that time I shared a little about my family receiving community assistance when I was younger.  I

Dry skin is no fun, especially in winter.  I actually get weirded out  if my skin feels too dry.  I’ll obsess about it until I can get my hands on some!  Well, I knew there was

The numbers are scary and sad – over 16 million children do not receive the nutrition they need. Child hunger is a problem I wish did not exist. Not that I like any problems,

So here we are, in the new year. Whether you were brave or not in 2011, you can be brave in 2012. And if you were brave in 2011, you can pledge

Remember how I told you that I was paying it forward this year? That I had received help with presents when I was little and now I wanted to help give back to a

When I was growing up we didn’t have a lot of money.  (Not that I have a lot now, but we have more breathing room and are comfortable.)  When I was little… I received

Today will be the Brave Woman Twitter party sponsored by Collective Bias.  Please join everyone for this important hour as we discuss the strong women we know and how we can help our friends and family

I know a woman who lived down the street. She had cuts and bruises whenever we’d meet. I wanted to say something, but it was never quite right. She assured me it was normal, the way they

Since it hasn’t snowed here by me yet (weird, really) I keep denying that it’s winter in Wisconsin.  Rissa isn’t sprouting as fast as she was so she’s not growing out of her 12

I love my current phone, but there are days I want to throw it into a lake or run it over with my car.  Technology is a blessing and a curse so even if

So over the weekend we went shopping for Cheerios at Walmart.  We can always use more Cheerios!  Baby girl and I have them nearly every morning for breakfast.  We ended up having to make

Though Veteran’s Day has passed, it doesn’t mean the time to honor our troops has to stop until the next holiday. Both of my grandfathers served our country and so did my uncle. I

You all know I love Halloween, right?  Costumes, candy, pumpkins, and scary movies!  While I don’t like being scared half to death in a haunted house, I do enjoy them and everything spooky about

You see that?  There.  In my hand.  That’s me staying healthy. Prior to getting pregnant with my daughter, I rarely took vitamins.  I also barely ate half the daily amount of fruits and veggies.  Once I

For some, school has started already, for others, it will start soon! I know my nephew has his school supplies and my sister-in-law has classroom supplies thanks to my participation in the Bag It

  When I was in college, back to school preparations meant supplies, expensive textbooks, clothes, dorm gear, instant meals, laundry, and beer.  Thinking back, a Cold & Flu Kit would have been a good idea.  It’s

Not too long ago, I shared with you about the Bag It Forward program, where you can help by donating a bag of school supplies to a child in need.  You can do this
