Every once in a while you read something written for the benefit of thousands, maybe even millions, of people and somehow it seems like it was written by someone speaking directly to you. I’ve mentioned from time to time that RB doesn’t always finish work or projects around the house. I’m willing to try and …
Contests
I recently entered a contest over on Coupon Princess Goes Blogging. The prize was described as a sample pack of Little Debbie 100 Calorie Snack Packs. I was thrilled to receive an email that I’d won. I figured I’d receive one individual sample of each of the varieties. Boy was I wrong! That, my friends, …
A couple of weeks ago my son TJ told me about a Guitar Hero tournament that was going to be run at the local Denny’s. Of course he signed up. He got a couple of friends to sign up too. Thursday night was the first night of the tournament. The tournament started at 10pm so …
We LOVE ice cream in my house. I simply cannot keep it in the freezer. We all have different favorites. My oldest loves plain chocolate. My youngest seems to like everything he’s tried so far. Hubby likes butter pecan. My all time favorite is chocolate cookies and cream, which I can’t find anywhere, so I …
Do you have anyone in your family that’s not the greatest sport? My hubby is a really sore loser, and my oldest TJ is just like his father. When I saw that Mom Most Traveled asked people to write a story about playing a game I remembered something funny and realized that my hubby and …
Deb’s having a contest over on Just A Mom’s Take On Things that reminded me of the funniest story. The prize is a Roseda Beef summer cookout kit including 20 Steakburgers and buns, a Roseda spatula and a Meat 101. (I’d love to review this, it sounds yummy.) Since I’ll be posting this story over …

In a contest on the Healthy Moms blog, I was asked to answer some questions related to my family snacking habits. Here are the questions, and my answers. · What snacks do your kids view as healthy? TJ, my twelve year old, said it could be popcorn, fruit, fruit snacks, bagels, soup, yogurt and some …
Ok, I’m a little peeved right now. I entered a contest on Cass Knits in which the prize was a cookbook called Little Cakes From The Whimsical Bakehouse back in February. Now Cass is not entirely without blame here, her description of the cookbook was so good that I had to enter because I really …
If you do, you’ve just got to vote in this contest. You may recall earlier this year, in March, I wrote about the Renuzit TriScents Transform Your Home $20,000 contest. If you don’t I’ll quickly fill you in. Triscents transitions a combination of three fragrances that can be customized to offer different scents throughout the …
I’d love to win a home makeover, I really need one. We spend most of our money paying bills with little left for anything else. Also, hubby is somewhat less than ambitious when it comes to work around the house so things are often undone or unfinished. That’s why I’ve entered the Renuzit TriScents Transform …
I quickly saw the phrase Wiley X online earlier and for a moment or two thought that it pertained to Wiley Coyote from the Bugs Bunny cartoons. After I realized that wasn’t what it was, I realized I have cartoons on the brain. See, last week I found out that I won a contest over …
As you may or may not know, my youngest son has Down Syndrome. His speech is quite delayed and he gets frustrated. Lately we have been thinking that we need to focus more on sign language, which we know little of. I was checking out the Signing Time website and got to thinking that this …
I’ve been thinking a lot about my new niece for the past couple of weeks. She’s almost five months old now. I haven’t met her yet, because she lives in California. It has come to my attention that she doesn’t have much due to some financial problems, so I have decided to enter contests where …
Almost everything is wrapped. Only two things left for me to wrap and one of them is in my car. Both have to wait until the boys are otherwise occupied or tonight when they’re asleep. I took out the garbage. I put the laundry away. I CAN SEE THE DINING ROOM TABLE! I even changed …

Skeet’s Stuff, of course. Without a doubt, Skeet’s Stuff is one of my favorite blogs. I have her bookmarked in Firefox, but never have to use the bookmark because as soon as I type sk into my browser her blog pops up. When I read about scribblescratch’s blogger love contest, there was no doubt in …
I have a question for those of you that have or have had hot tubs, know someone that has one, or even if you have just considered getting one. Would you use an outdoor hot tub in the winter? I can’t imagine sitting outside in the winter. I know your body would be warm in …

My eleven year old son absolutely loves video games. He wants a Wii so badly. It’s on his Christmas and birthday list. I priced them and they’re still pretty expensive, so it’d be great to win one.
