Bogg Bag Fever: Bitten By The Bogg Bag Bug

January 3, 2026 by 17 Comments

Do you own a Bogg Bag? Have you ever heard of them? I didn't know they existed until last summer. I can't remember how they first came onto my radar, but once I saw one in person, I could see why they were so popular. They are super practical bags for busy moms who haul around a lot of kid stuff. They are also great for taking along to the pool or on a beach vacation since they are almost indestructible and … [Read more...]

December 15, 2023 by 11 Comments

Have to kick off this November favorites post with something that's torturing me right now. Ha! Last summer, I made the decision to purchase a Yeti Tundra cooler. If you're not familiar with Yeti's "Tundra" cooler, it's the one that has wheels which makes it super easy to move around. That especially comes in handy when it's loaded with ice and drinks. I had purchased a Tundra for my son a year or so … [Read more...]

DIY Festive Christmas Nails, My Ninja Air Fryer Decision & A Fun Way To Pop Popcorn

December 6, 2023 by 13 Comments

Just popping in (pun intended) to share some fun things today! Many, many years ago I used to have a microwave popcorn popper. It always made great popcorn. I was thinking recently about how I like popcorn, but do not like prepackaged microwave popcorn. Whenever I've eaten it, it always leaves this disturbing coating on the roof of my mouth. I have no idea what that coating is, but I figure it can't be … [Read more...]

I'm rarely in that area so when I do find myself near the restaurant, I'll sometimes go through their drive-thru to order one of their BBQ plates.
