I use Boudreaux’s Butt Paste

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Boudreaux’s Butt Paste. All opinions are 100% mine. Well, I don’t use it on ME, but I have a ton of kids, as y’all know. And, finally, ALL of them are potty trained. But even with my kiddos potty trained I have still used Boudreaux’s Butt Paste on Livie.  Sometimes kids are potty trained but still don’t do a great job... [Read more]

Livie is our ticket to Hollywood

If we were wanting a ticket to Hollywood, Livie would be it. But actually I’d rather have a one-way ticket to Hawaii…. But I digress. Livie is very animated. She also LOVES music. We’ll be jammin’ the car and she’ll say, “What’s this song? Who sings it?” Today we were listening to Marvin Gaye and she asked who it was. I told her and she said, “Are... [Read more]

I Loved Seminar

As most of you know I am a Mary Kay Independent Beauty consultant. This has been a blessing to my family. I don’t have to babysit kids at home anymore and it seems like whenever our family is in need of extra money I make a total unexpected sell. I am thankful for this opportunity. This summer I was able to attend the annual Mary Kay Seminar in Dallas. I was excited because my sister was going... [Read more]

Yoplait Splitz Gift Pack Giveaway

I recently had the opportunity to try New Yoplait Splitz. These were a big hit- especially with Livie. She took one for lunch to her pre-school the other day and just kept talking about the yummy “ice cream yogurt” she ate. What is a Yoplait Splitz? Yoplait Splitz is the new yogurt that tastes like a sundae. Providing all of the goodness of 100% real yogurt, Yoplait Splitz is a good... [Read more]

Yukon to Utah!

Our family was so excited to take a trip to Utah this summer. It’ was definitely a loooooong drive- at least 20 hours each way- but so worth it!! We drove our Yukon. It’s a 2004, so before leaving we got a complete tune up. The brakes were fine so we weren’t in need of a brake job. Thankfully it is easy to find a Dallas auto repair shop thanks to sites like repairpal.com.  It’s... [Read more]

Boost Mobile- an affordable option

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Boost Mobile. All opinions are 100% mine. My family just got rid of our home phone, because, let’s face it- who uses a home phone very often these days? My 13 1/2 year old and 15 year old both have cell phones. And now Isabel is 11 years old and asking for one. That’s not gonna happen any time soon!! I didn’t get my 1st cell phone... [Read more]

Family Reunion Talent Show

Sei’s family reunions always consist of a family talent show. In the past Sei has rapped, Isabel has done her gymnastics routine or one of the kids sang a song. This year was my turn… I decided to take one of my hobbies and do something fun with it. I’ve been teaching myself American Sign Language on and off for a few years. I found a “glossed” version of Black Eyed Peas’... [Read more]

Family Vacay Reader’s Digest Version Part II

We hiked the Y Trail.  We lived in Utah 7 years and never hiked it because I am scared of mountain lions. Well, Sei brought his duty weapon with him, so he could save us if necessary. It was a steep hike and Sei had to carry Livie quite a bit of the way. But we made it!!! I also got to have dinner with friends!! Klin, Suzanne, Mikelene, and Gina all met me for dinner in Provo. Thanks Suzanne for... [Read more]

Mission Tortillas rock

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Mission Foods. All opinions are 100% mine. So, I scored a while ago at the grocery store on Mission Tortillas. I bought probably 25 packs with some super coupons combined with a super deal. They have been in a freezer and have come in so handy!!  I love tortillas because that can be used in soooo many different ways.  We make breakfast burritos,... [Read more]
