Dr. Scholl's Active Series Insoles Review!

As any mom knows we do a lot on our feet. Various activities include walking the dog and volunteering at school and sporting events for your kids! Influenster sent me a pair to try and I put them into my shoes not expecting too much.  That night I was a volunteer at the high school football game for the raffle and that had me running up and down the bleachers helping the students out.  When I was finally at home that night I noticed my arches were not hurting or sore like usual! Amazing! I would recommend the active series whether you "run" or "run around like a crazy mom" haha! They keep you comfy! Visit Dr. Scholl's to learn more about them!

My Winning Vaseline Spray & Go Commercial!

I recently submitted My Vaseline Spray & Go Commercial to Influenster and won! I know, shocker! The staff at Influentster emailed me and I sent an email back thanking them and they emailed back saying I had the whole Influenster office standing around a computer to watch my commercial and they were laughing so hard! I took it as a compliment since I won the contest haha! Influenster sent me the +Vaseline #SprayandGo complimentary to try and review on My YouTube Channel so instead of a regular review I did a commercial! I am now entering my commercial to a Brand Challenge for a change to win a prize.  Please watch my commercial and thumbs it up so I can! Can you tell I'm addicted to 
entering contests! Oh my!

Entered My Daughter's School To Go Green!

I am a member of the Influtenster Community and they are helping Pureology get the word out about a contest Pureology is sponsoring to help a school that is chosen to GO GREEN! I would love to see my daughter's high school get help to go green with solar panels! The money they save could go back to the budget and that means less cuts! I entered my daughter's high school.  You can enter here! Good luck and thank you +Influenster & +Pureology Serious Colour Care

Proud Momma!

Monday I had a very proud-parent day.  My youngest daughter Gracie had her awards night for dance season and she came home with some great ones! The Coaches Award, Best Performer Award & the 4.0 Award.  The Coaches award was awarded to only one dancer.  The Best Performer was given to her by her fellow dancers and the 4.0 award refers to her GPA in school.  Here is a picture of her with her favorite dance coach, Alexa, and her dance team!



That day was also my oldest daughter's first golf tournament! I just had to make a video of her first tournament! 

                                     

I couldn't be more proud of my kiddos! They are the joy of my life and treasure all that they accomplish in life.  I love that they are having fun doing it too.

Pinterest Test - Sore Throat

The other night I got thru my workout and afterwards felt crummy.  Usually I'm energized and feeling good! I chalked it up to being tired. When I got home I noticed my throat started that dry/scratchy feeling and immediately started thinking of all the things I have to do in the next couple of days and anxiety set in.  It's never convenient for a mom to get sick plus being sick just sucks period.  Luckily I have a hubby who steps in when needed.  Such a good guy! I made myself my Hot Toddy Recipe which let me sleep the night.  When I got up the next morning I had a doozy of a sore throat.  I remembered I pinned a drink recipe to feel better from a sore throat so I made that for myself and documented how it did.  In other words I put this pin to a test! Here is my test: 


Don't I look lovely? As always, please comment what you do when you get a sore throat.  I would love to hear and try it! Don't forget to Subscribe to My YouTube Channel so you don't miss anything! Be well!

Save Money and Cut Hair at Home!

In this economy you have to cut corners where you can...let's be honest.  So my girls and I go to the beauty school to get our hair cut for $5! My oldest daughter loves it and I love it.  I have never had a bad haircut.  There are instructors there that supervise pretty closely and are always checking up on the progress of the cut.  I have naturally curly hair so a lot of time that is when the instructor will take the time to show the student how to cut curly hair! I don't mind at all! My youngest daughter says she had a bad haircut so she will only let me cut her hair.  She has straight hair so it's pretty easy! The only reason she  didn't like her haircut is because the lady cut too much length off when she asked for a trim.  So hence momma cuts her hair now.  Here is the video I made cutting her hair to show just how easy it is! Enjoy! Subscribe to My YouTube Channel so you don't miss all the fun stuff I post!

Kabuki's Lemon Drop Review!

Anytime I visit a restaurant I have to try their Lemon Drop.  I am a self proclaimed connoisseur of Lemon Drops.  I love them so much...if they are made properly.  I even have my own recipe for an XL Lemon Drop and you can see it here.  I recently turned 29...ok ok 39 geez...and my family took me to Kabuki's where they cook in front of you! I loved it and have never been to that kind of place before.  I ordered their lemon drop of course because it was my birthday and haven't tried theirs before.  It was brought out to me and I took a swig straight away and promptly gagged! They had accidentally rimmed the glass with salt instead of sugar! It seriously gagged me.  I couldn't even taste the drink the salt was so gross! My husband thought I was being too snobby but when I could finally talk I said "They put salt on my glass!" They took it away and brought me another one with sugar on the rim.  I had stopped gagging and downed a glass of water by this time.  The 2nd lemon drop was amazing! There was bits from the freshly squeezed lemon in the drink (some bartenders use lemonade) and there was that perfect balance of sweet and tangy I love.  Seriously so good.  I give Kabuki's Lemon Drop a big thumbs up! If you try it there let me know how you love it! Check out my YouTube Channel and subscribe cuz I do some cool stuff on there! :-)

I Have A Problem

I am totally on crack...juuuust kidding! But holy noodles! I can't go a day without making and eating this Recipe from Pinterest! Oh. My. Word! Pad Thai heaven! I don't want to know the calorie count or how much fat is in this.  All I know is I adore peanut butter (I use the All Natural kind from Jiff) AND Sriracha!!!!!! I leave out the green onions...I mean why healthify it with some veggie?! And yes, I'm pretty sure healthify is a word...in my language. Today was the first day back to work on a regular schedule because my husband and I have our own business and I get to stay home with the kids when they are out of school for Winter Break! In saying all that, I totally came home to make this on my lunch break because it's only good freshly made.  So making it in the morning and packing it in my lunch was not an option! For your viewing pleasure here is mine freshly made:


I'm drooling right now.  Here is how I make it:

Bring water to boil in pan and add seasoning packet from Ramen noodle package.  
Cook Ramen noodles for 3 min
Drain water but leave 2 Tbs in pan with noodles
Add 2 Tbs peanut butter
Add 1 Tbs Soy Sauce
Add 1-2 tsp Sriracha Chili Sauce (I put the full 2 tsp in, baby!)

Enjoy! And you will...I promise!

My XL Lemon Drop!

I am a Lemon Drop connoisseur of sorts.  Yes, I like wine and beer...really depends on what I'm eating.  But when we go anywhere different I need to taste their Lemon Drop.  My favorite place to get a Lemon Drop so far is Willamette Country Club in Canby, OR.  They serve their Lemon Drop in a large martini glass! Awesome! And they're yummers! Of course I ask recipes and tricks from the bartenders that will divulge and I have come up with my own and I make it XL baby! Wanna see? Here you go! Happy Saturday Night! 




Something To Keep from New Year's Eve 2012


 I will be reviewing this sparkling wine for you today.... juuust kidding! Haha!

This is the sparkling wine my hubby picked out to share on New Year's Eve together.  Not only did it taste good but I thought the label was soooo pretty! I just had to do something with the bottle.  


No, this isn't the color of the wine...I ended up washing it out carefully to preserve the label and setting it in my home office to ponder what it's use would be.  Can you tell by the pic (taken by my daughter, Shelby) what I did? Yep, I filled it with dish soap and put a pour spout on it and set it in my kitchen! I have always wanted something nice to put my soup in but have never done it.  No more Dawn bottle to decorate my kitchen sink!


I am very pleased at the amount that comes out when tipped upside down.  The kids will not be able to waste soap by squeezing the life out of the bottle! YES! So my very crafty project turned out to be the bomb! And yes, this is about as crafty as I get on my own. I am pretty darn pleased with myself! A nice reminder of NYE 2012

Winter Golf Blues

I love golf.  During golf season I tell myself not to take it for granted because winter is coming.  Here in the Pacific North West we are in the dead of winter.  Even though it's sunny right now...for 5 minutes...the greens are frozen.  I just don't think it's very fun at all to golf in weather like this so I don't.  I mean how can you swing properly when your whole body is ridged from the frozen wind or you can't feel your hands grip the club?! I loath being cold.  Anyhoo...I am missing golf today so I went back in my YouTube videos and watched some golf videos I made.  Some of me and some of my youngest child and so on.  I thought I would share my favorite drive on video.  Straight and long (well, long for me). I have a Harrington Rod in my back so I am unable to have a full swing but I get the job done.  So like the saying "Sunday is coming" my saying today is "Spring is coming". Enjoy the short video! You can visit my channel at Jennifer's YouTube Channel

Shout Out to Pinterest!

Can I just say I LOVE Pinterest?! I would have never of known a Parmesan container lid fits a Mason jar! So many possibilities! I used my first one to keep my baking soda fresh.  What would or do you use yours for?

Plus the added benefit of a pour side (or stick my measuring spoon in) and sprinkle side!
