Bright New Shoes to Light up my daughters Eyes




Having several children you learn that they grow out of shoes quickly. Even with being able to have the kids wear  hand-me-downs if the shoes survived survived that long meant a little more savings in our pocket and less trash in the landfills.

Still with that we often buy new shoes to fill in gaps, and sometimes just have to get something fun and functional to bring a little smile to their faces.

These LED shoes from Husk'sWare are super cute. The moon and starts light up with different colors and even blink and cycle through all of the colors which is great for those like my daughter who like to dress in bright happy colors.

Easy to use just a push of the button inside and she can set it to a single color, mix and match, have them blink or slowly cycle through all of the colors. Super cute and fun. Just charge with the included USB charger and you are sure to be able to dazzle or this case shine like the moon and stars.

I just wish they had them in my size. You can find them at my affiliate link below.

Trying Jimmy Dean Breakfast bowls


I love blogging, with that comes many opportunities to try new products and let my readers know how my family or I felt about the products. I am a member of The Insiders and I was picked to try out out these new breakfast bowls from JimmyDean. 

Our family is big on breakfast. What I mean by that is that is we can eat breakfast foods anytime of day or night, while almost never getting bored. There are just so many combinations. Yes we buy breakfast products like hash browns, eggs, sausage, bacon, veggies, pancake mixes, etc, but we don't often buy products that are made for the microwave. 

Don't get me wrong there are lots of great microwave meals we have tried and use regularly throughout the year we just prefer making things from scratch. Our family has been through the ringer for the last year and half  so convenience has been the necessity due to circumstances beyond our control. 
During the whole time we never got around to trying out the JimmyDean Breakfast Bowls, not sure how, because I know we looked at them tons of times, but money was tight so we always said next time. 

Now that we have had time to settle somewhat back into our regular routine we were able to try the JimmyDean Breakfast Bowls out in three different varieties Burrito Breakfast Bowl, Ranchero Steak & Eggs Bowl, and Loaded Potato Breakfast Bowl.

Loaded Potato Breakfast bowl was probably my favorite due to the bacon that was in it, followed by Burrito Breakfast Bowl, and then Ranchero Steak & Eggs Bowl. What I loved about the Burrito Breakfast Bowl was that the beans did not over power the dish. There were just enough to give it that burrito taste with firm beans instead mushy re-fried beans. The Ranchero Steak & Eggs Bowl was by far my husbands favorite. JimmyDean had him at Steak. 






 These are all quick and easy to make, Great for quick breakfast solutions or when you are on your own but don't want to make a big mess in the kitchen. Great for bloggers like me when the rest of the family is out and about.

Personal Injury



8 days after surgery 10 days after accident

On February 12, 2013 my husband slipped and fell on ice outside of his job. What we thought would be a fast and easy recovery became a nightmare. It was the first time ever we had to seek counsel and the first place we called was a Personal Injury Lawyer who referred us to another Lawyer group because it involved his employer. 

We contacted them right away and they jumped on my husband's case. With my husband's case it went straight to workman's comp. Like I said it was a nightmare. My husband did not heal from operation and he ended up totally disabled with leg, nerve, and spine damage. We had problems from the ER, Surgeon, and Physical Therapy. If we had known then what we know now things would have been handled way differently.

We were totally blind and totally trusting that everyone had our best interest in mind, we were totally wrong and eventually ended up homeless for over a year and half waiting for money to come through for disability. This was after 3 years of eating away at our own personal savings. If you have children and are the main bread earner I suggest you call around to get a good lawyer the first time, get a second opinion, and really cut out your spending as much as possible. You just never know what can happen or how long things will take to get back on track. 

As for us 5 years later we are still struggling to get on our feet. Our family has been torn apart, thrown around, and treated badly all because of one slip on ice that changed our lives forever. Do me and yourself a favor. Find a good lawyer, a good Dr., and make sure they listen to you.  If you are in Florida you can contact Winters & Yonker The Aggressive Lawyers. 



Picture of my husband on a good day, still in very much pain that has gotten worse over the years with other problems brought on by accident.
