I am sure that many of you that have followed along over the years, or any length of time know that I have this really huge love for reviews of snacks and anything food related! Sometimes when we have been between checks and whatnot these items have really helped us out more than you can even know! I also do like trying new things sometimes - I know I have that whole I am a picky eater thing going on but I keep telling you all it isn't as true as people make it out to be! I generally do choose more Savory things as snacks for me personally but David even though he doesn't admit it that much does love sweet things and it isn't like I HATE them. I actually have another review in my que that I could very well write this same intro for lol. Anyways, when I got the chance to review biscotti from Nonni Biscotti I was like hmm that sounds like a great idea. I had never even had any before, and I thought it would be something unique and different for me.. I mean I do indulge in sweet … [Read more...]

I admit I didn't really know anything about The Pioneer Woman until last fall when I saw her dishes coming out at walmart and I fell in love with them. I had followed her on Facebook and everything but I didn't have any of her cookbooks and hadn't watched her on t.v or anything like that. When I saw her dishes and cookware though I started paying more and more attention and I quickly started collecting them! I have pretty much anything she has came out with including brand new set of dishes(plates/salad plates/bowls/glasses/coffee cups) to the knives , napkins,rug,placemats and everything in between. Oh and all of her cookbooks except one! My husband calls her the other woman in his life, and frequently says he has spent more money on her than he has spent on me ha ha. I def. have plans to buy several other items that I haven't yet, all in good time though :) I didn't realize that this fall there would be a Fall collection coming out and there would also be a Holiday … [Read more...]

It might be technically Fall- my favorite of all seasons, here in the South - but we tend to not feel it till it is almost "winter" and it doesn't last too horribly long either :(!  I mean we have changed temps a little bit from 100 in the shade to more like somewhere in the 80's- 90's ranges for the most part and got a little bit of dreary going on a couple of days but it still just doesn't scream Fall! One thing I am glad that I have invested in in the past was a ceiling fan but when we moved to this apartment there wasn't the option to do that sort of thing, and of course they didn't have any to start with either. We finally had purchased a fan for the bedroom because it does help with helping me sleep. I had hoped we could get one for the living room as well so when I had the chance to get a Crane USA Digital Tower fan I was pretty well doing cartwheels. I had actually taken to hanging out in the bedroom in the early afternoon because for some reason between 330 and 5 I tend … [Read more...]

As you may well know, or well if you don't you will now :), David is a certified OCD cleaning freak! I will say all the time I don't mind being clean, and I would rather have someone who is willing to clean and keep things ship shape than someone who is not, but I think you have to have a balance too. Thankfully he isn't as bad as he used to be, but he still has his little routine and whatnot and I just let it be. My dad is always saying we are going to die from something crazy because of him cleaning away the good bacteria and what not ;) When I had another chance to get something cleaning related to review from my good friends over at Shark I was hopeful that they would offer me a vacuum cleaner this time around because that is something David has really been wanting ( I honestly miss when we only had a rug to vacuum! I hate all this carpet!) Luckily that is exactly what they had in mind and they sent me the Shark Rotator Powered Lift Away Speed!   We have basically … [Read more...]
