Egg Hunts on the Farm

It's that time of the year again when things come back to life! Spring is my favorite time of the year for that very reason! I just love it!!

As children living in the country, we used to search all over the farm looking for new nests and little bird eggs every spring. Of course, we were sternly warned not to bother the eggs in any way, but it was always such a thrill to find a nest filled with beautifully created eggs!

Product Review: Firmoo

I recently had the opportunity to review a pair of glasses from Firmoo.

I chose to try prescription sunglasses. Unfortunately, at the time the selection available limited me to a few options, so I'm not crazy about the style, but they're definitely better than wearing regular eyeglasses while driving on a sunny day! I should note that they have since added more sunglasses to their selection. They also have a large selection of prescription eyeglasses at very reasonable prices!

I was impressed with the quality of the glasses I received. They are solid and do not feel like "cheap" glasses. The shipping was relatively quick, especially considering that they shipped from another country. If you're planning to buy new eyeglasses at a lower cost than your local optometrists' office, check out Firmoo.comhttp://www.firmoo.com first!

Recipe: Shrimp and Chicken Scampi

I tried another new recipe this past week. Knowing that my kids haven't learned to appreciate seafood yet, I decided to add chicken to a shrimp scampi recipe I found. I also altered a few more things about the original recipe, making my own.

My husband loved it and so did my boys!

8 Creative Valentine Boxes

Kids love making Valentine's Day boxes! Every year, I go online looking for some new ideas for this year's Valentine box. Today, I'd like to share a few ideas with you.

Beaker Valentine Box

My husband helped our son make a Beaker Valentine box last year. He was made from a large cereal box (thank you, Sam's Club!) and construction paper.

Alligator Valentine Box

I helped my son make this Alligator Valentine box a couple years ago. We used large wiggle eyes and construction paper. The base was a tissue box.

Corn Stalk House Valentine Box

My teenage brother created this amazing Corn Stalk House Valentine Box a couple years ago. He cut and hot glued the stalks together and it held up amazingly well! Very creative!

As I searched across the web, I came across some more great ideas for Valentine boxes...

I love this one from Birthday Blueprint. What a cute little Minion Valentine Box!

I found this fun little Piggy Valentine box at Giggles Galore. Such a cute project! Take a look at it - she has a great tutorial on making this Valentine box!

This cute little Birdhouse Valentine box from Make It Do would also be adorable!

I found this Pretty Valentine Box at All That Is Creative.

And finally, this adorable little Robot Valentine Box I found at Joy's Life.

Now, off to see what we will create for this year's Valentine box!

eBook Review: Disciplined Life

I recently had the opportunity to read Chrystal Paine's ebook, 21 Days to a More Disciplined Life.

Expecting just another motivational self-help book, I was surprised when Chrystal started out the book by saying that the solution is not in a book about organizing or managing your overly busy life, but rather, it is in you. You are the problem... and the solution!

In her book, 21 Days to a More Discipled Life, Chrystal literally steps you through those 21 days. Each day you'll have a short section to read and then a challenge for the day, along with an application. It's an easy read and very much worth your time! At only $3.99, I'd highly recommend it!
