I've been using the Burt's Bees Natural Skin Solutions for Sensitive Skin for about 6 weeks. All I can say is Wow! my skin is soft, smooth and the color has evened out. I have found this skin care line to be extremely effective, and the best part is that it is all natural! I don't have to worry about the product causing harm to my skin or to nature. Highly recommended.Please note: I am a Bzz

Oops - I just realized this is superman, not spiderman...I hope Superman is just as cool!It is 2 days away from my only son's 3rd birthday, today was the day I spent looking for his gift, buying the cake ingredients, etc.....Why is this so important? Your very own birthday is the most remembered day of every child's life - not necessarily the 3rd birthday, but think back to your favorite

Have you ever had the pleasure of experiencing a garden fresh dinner? This is what summer is all about in Minnesota when you grow your own garden. This homemade lasagna consists of fresh tomatoes, onions, green peppers, garlic, green beans and pears for dessert, which came straight from my garden! My husband is the garden master, but together, we are producing potatoes, onions, green peppers,

Is it possible for your loving 2 year old son to say something to you that will feel like a slap in the face? It happened to me today. We arrived home from daycare around 4:30 after running a few errands around town and driving by a construction scene on the railroad tracks more than once so my son Taylor could get a good look at the action. This seemed to make his day. Yes, Taylor is infatuated

Oh I just love the concept....everything is much funner with a margarita in hand...or whatever your drink choice may be! I found these girls online, and they started a company with the idea of making a t-shirt about yoga and drinking :) Is this not perfect or what?!Check them out at http://www.mindbodynspirits.com/Cheers to working mamas!

I was recently introduced to a wonderful company called Living My MoMent. This company is designed to help working mom's advertise their business. I was so thrilled about this opportunity, that I contacted Abbey and asked to be a part of her blog. She added my company to her blog, along with several new MoM owned companies every day! Check out her blog, and view the many other featured MoM

As I was rushing around this morning, trying to organize my thoughts and everything else for the day, I asked my 5 year old daughter to please go fill our dog lexa's food and water bowls. Her response brought a children's sesame street book to my mind "It's Not Easy Being Big."......"Why do I have to do everything!" she said to me. "Well sweetie, sometimes mommies have so much to do, they need

Coming from a self-employed background, the idea of one day becoming self-employed has always been in the back of my mind. But I can't deny that the looming idea has also caused hesitation and fear. Do I want to spend countless hours doing bookwork instead of design work? I am indeed a passionate graphic designer, I am the queen of independence, I love my own space and my own time - I love the

If only we could all live life so carefree as a 2 year old boy....Taylor is interested in everything. He could careless about getting dirty, hurt or let down. He doesn't give up.He has a strong intuition for anything with a motor, and has spent countless hours sitting on the lawnmower in the garage...He has the wonderful opportunity to go to daycare on a farm, and loves the sight of the tractor

Makayla has had the wonderful opportunity to be a part of the Miss Fairfax organization. She ran for the Little Miss Fairfax position, and did not win. But she has been enjoying every moment. From clearing tables at a local picnic to making Waffles for Dads...it has been a joyful experience for her!She has made new friends, and at the young age of 5, she has become well known in our little town

Today I visited a physical therapist. Things may be looking up soon! I'm finished with the tests and doctor visits for now, and focused on healing my neck. I was hoping for one therapy session, and then be magically better, but that's not the case. I feel like I'm moving forward though. No surgery is needed, and that makes me very happy. The therapy should heal my whiplash with time.I'm going to

Four days after my MRI, I began to get anxious about my pain, and want some sort of answer. I gave a friendly reminder call to my doctor this morning and left a message. My wonderful doctor's office called me this afternoon with my MRI results, however, my doctor is away on vacation until Monday. The nurse kindly read me the results over the phone, but could not explain them! SIGHHHH...

Do you have goals in life? Do you set out to accomplish something, and work extremely hard towards finishing that goal?Life is not predictable. We have all had experiences that changed the way things were going in life.I had one of those experiences just two weeks ago....It was a sunny Monday morning, and things were going as usual; woke up, fed and dressed the kids, ran my usual 5 miles on my

Is the talk of the economy making your head spin?The real question is, are you directly affected by our economy? Is our country's financial situation helping or hurting you?This information is for those of you who have (1) either lost your main source of income (2) experienced a decline in the value of your home (3) had hours or wages cut due to the suffering economy, or (4) lost your retirement
