To all the moms out there. I know you all have heard about all the direct sales companys out there like Avon, Mary Kay, Lia Sophia  and otheres. Well, I now you have not heard of the one I work with and the name…

I stumbled across this site by mistake, but I can already tell it is exactly what I was looking for. I moved to South Carolina about a year ago, but I still haven't met anyone to "hang out" with. I'm a stay at home mother of 3 boys. Zachary is almost 5, Brennon is 3, and Tripp is almost 16 months. About me? My name is Amber, and I have been married going on 6 years to the most amazing man. I have a touch of OCD with cleaning, I spoil my kids rotten, and I love every minute of it. I love…

Sunday was such a beautiful day! My husband, daughter and I went over to my best friend's house so our daughter, McKennon, could play outside with her little boy. They recently got a trampoline, and McKennon absolutely loves it! They also have a great backyard, that's perfect for sitting on the deck and watching the little ones run around. Well, my daughter had tired of jumping on the trampoline, so she was running around the yard when she discovered the steps leading up to the deck. She…

It happens suddenly one day – your darling baby has never had a problem at the doctor. She’s laughed and smiled through each visit (okay, maybe not the shots, but the rest of it!)… Then it hits. Doctorphobia – a fear of the doctor.

You can imagine the degree of unhappiness when it…

Its consignment season again! You ready to tag? You ready to shop? Do you even know what consignment sales are? Well, I'm a huge fan and I thought I'd share some tricks and tips.

Around our area, there are plenty of consignment sales, each usually occurring a couple times a year – once for Spring/Summer clothes and once for Fall/Winter clothes. I have been to three all in the Greenville area – Switcharoos (…

Remember the movie Meet the Fockers? Oh how I laughed and laughed over the baby’s first word scene. Poor Ben Stiller was still trying to make a good impression on his soon-to-be inlaws and he did not succeed when he allowed their grandson to hear him say the A word. Up until that point, the toddler was holding off his first word and he eagerly repeated his future uncle’s foul language, much to the dismay of Robert DeNiro. I still remember the roar of laughter in the movie theater…

I am signing my 4 year old daughter up for cheerleading tomorrow in Boiling Springs. Are any other parents considering this? It is the early registeration, and will be helping out with fundraisers. Here is a copy of the schedule and prices.

Thanks

My husband and I often chuckle when we realize that we've already taken more photos of our daughter than exist of us for an entire childhood. Thanks to the advances of digital photography, it's easy to snap photo after photo of our children. We decided that not only would we take lots of photos ourselves, but that we would take her to be photographed professionally every three months for the “milestone” photos – 3, 6, 9 months and so on. We also snuck…
