I'm a Maytag Mom! Thanks to Mom Central and Maytag, this girl will have the latest and greatest kitchen appliances in her house! As most of you probably know, my husband and I purchased our retirement/vacation home a few months ago. My husband will be retiring in 2 years, and we found our dream home already. Although we do not live there … [Read more...]
People are sneaky and shady. Home sellers are no different, especially when they are bitter about selling their home, or the transaction itself. Perhaps they didn't get as much money as they hoped (read: they had the house WAY overpriced), or maybe they were forced to move (not the case in our situation). When my husband and I began the home … [Read more...]

I hope you have had a chance to enter this contest for yourself. Purina Cat Chow is committed to telling and highlighting the real stories of everyday cat owners. Purina Cat Chow … [Read more...]
This is VERY exciting news! I am currently looking for a few reviewers/contributors for Eighty MPH Mom, so when my buddy Erin (aka my partner-in-crime/fun), from Slice o' Heaven, said she was interested, I was giddy. Yep - simply giddy. I am sure most of you already know Erin :) Erin and I go wayyyy back and she is very experienced, … [Read more...]
A very good friend of ours started an energy drink company awhile back. This is not just any energy drink company, however. Patriot Beverages Re-Up Energy Drinks is made specifically for our military personnel. We were so impressed with this idea, but we are even more impressed with what Patriot Beverage Co. is doing to help military … [Read more...]

This is a story about a special black duck and a gorgeous red dragonfly :) I am thoroughly enjoying our 2nd home. I have posted before about how much fun I had decorating the new … [Read more...]
As I grow older, I notice things that I never thought would happen to me somehow. Do these happen to you? You know you're growing older when... 1. You can't remember how old you are! Just yesterday, I could not remember and had to count the decades on my fingers to find out my age (because I don't think I ever got past a kindergartner's … [Read more...]
I have shopped at Cost Plus World Market for years - it is one of my favorite stores. I have fond memories of outings with my mom which included lunch and browsing (and always buying!) at Cost Plus. Unfortunately she passed away a few years ago, and our outings are no more. I do, however, still frequent Cost Plus. We recently purchased our … [Read more...]
Ever since I was little, I have adored corn on the cob. Of course I also loved canned and frozen corn, but there is something extra special about fresh corn on the cob. There are so many options for cooking it too - it can be boiled, grilled or baked. I have been experimenting with recipes for corn on the cob and I am always on the lookout for new … [Read more...]
When Pinterest first appeared and everyone jumped on board, I did too. I had so much fun pinning recipes, crafting ideas, home decor, tv shows, movies, music, etc. It was a fun place to keep track of everything I loved, and everything I wanted to do some day. Then came the posts about there being copyright issues with Pinterest and I became … [Read more...]
