May 25, 2012 by
In honor of Memorial Day I thought I'd share a few things about the Soldiers that guard The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in Arlington National Cemetery. If you've never been to Arlington National Cemetery before it really is an extraordinary site to see. I realize it's not the most glamourous place to visit but it a beautiful and majestic site to experience for people of all ages. The soldiers that guard the tomb are called Sentinels The Tomb of the Unknowns is Arlington's most popular … [Read more...]
A Good Reputation Is Key
May 24, 2012 by
I was always told that having a good reputation is key to being successful and I agree with that statement 100%. You wouldn’t buy a car, choose a nanny or get someone to fix your house if they had a crappy reputation. The same holds true for us as bloggers. Why would companies want to work with us as individuals if we have a bad reputation? I recently discovered a site called reputation.com and the basic premise is that you can get an instant snapshot of what your online reputation looks … [Read more...]
Orville Redenbacher’s Smart Pop for Healthy Snacking Giveaway
May 23, 2012 by
Healthy living and eating has taken a key role in our lives recently. Rob and I started running so we have changed the way we cook and snack. Nutritious fruits and veggies are tops on our list for easy snacking but there is a little obsession I have, popcorn. For as long as I can remember popcorn has been my indulgent snack of choice a couple nights a week. In fact popcorn is my mother’s favorite snack too; it often turns into her dinner on lazy no-desire-to-make-dinner nights. My kids … [Read more...]

What I Learned from Bloggy Boot Camp Philadelphia
May 22, 2012 by
Something happened with this Bloggy Boot Camp. I walked away with ideas and inspiration and didn’t just talk about making changes but instantly put a couple in place. Blog conferences as a whole are supposed to educate the attendees on not just blog basics but how to run it like a business, increase traffic, put out quality content and engage your readers and fellow bloggers. Bloggy Boot Camp Baltimore was a different feeling for me. Two years ago the sentiment felt “Every man for themself”, … [Read more...]
Being Mr Mom Was Hard
May 21, 2012 by
This weekend was busy to say the least and I am not sure how single moms and dads do it. I was without Melinda for less than 24 hours and it feel like I was going to die (maybe a slight exaggeration). Melinda was at Bloggy Bootcamp in Philadelphia Friday night and Saturday which left me alone with the kids. I want everyone to understand that I am not complaining that she went I just want to explain how busy it was without her. Usually we will do a divide and conquer but I was solo on … [Read more...]
Oral-B ProfessionalCare SmartSeries 5000 with SmartGuide Recap
May 20, 2012 by
I feel like we have a pretty good tooth brushing routine in our house for the most part. Are we perfect, no! Do we miss a tooth brushing if we get home late from somewhere, yes! For the most part meaning the other 99.9 percent of the time we are on top of it. Our nightly routine starts at around 8:15 – 8:30 when we send Shaun and Shae up to brush their teeth. Shaun actually visited an orthodontist on a school trip a few months ago and they gave him what I remember as an old school egg timer. … [Read more...]
