Disclosure: “I participated in a campaign on behalf of Mom Central Consulting for Sturm Foods, Inc. I received a promotional item and product samples as a thank you for participating” The hustle and bustle of the holiday season is upon us.  Whether it's shopping for gifts, making an appearance at every single Christmas party or trying to schedule activities to keep the kids busy during Winter Break, I am super busy this time of year.  I'm often asked how I ever find time for myself amidst my crazy schedule.  Well, the secret to my sanity is simple.  I ALWAYS spend a little time alone.  Yep, just me.   One of my fave ways to wind down on a cold, wintry day like today is with a cup of coffee.  Thanks to my Keurig brewer I don't have to brew a whole pot of coffee. I can enjoy a fresh, hot cup of coffee anytime.  A cup of coffee my way.  Keurig is perfect for the increased traffic in my home during the holidays as everyone can have their fa...

'Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse The stockings were hung by the chimney with care, Full of PÜR Gum because this mommy cares... Gum?  Yes, gum.  I had to include gum in my 2013 Holiday Gift Guide.  Let me explain. When I was a kid, each Christmas my mom would fill our stocking with fresh fruit and nuts, one of those candy Lifesaver books, old fashioned ribbon candy and gum.  Yes, gum. This was one of the few times, My sister, brother and I would sit down on the living room floor playing with our new toys and just chomping on sugary snacks to our heart's content.  This was the last SugarFest of the year.   Hard to believe neither of us has ever gotten a single cavity amid all the sugary candy and gum we ate between Halloween and Christmas alone, but I'm glad to say nary a cavity...not a one.  Now that I'm a mommy I worry about my kids' dental health. ...

My grandma has always been a stylish diva who never went anywhere without a pair of earrings, a ring or two on each hand and her wedding ring.   One of my most fondest memories as a child was rummaging through my grandmother's jewelry armoire.  When my grandparents first married they  had an account with Shane Co.  and many of the pieces in her jewelry armoire came from Shane Co.   As a picked out through the pieces, I stood in amazement as my grandma would recount when the  piece was purchased and any special occasions associated with the piece.  Sapphires and diamonds, platinum and pearls, each piece had a story of its own.   Much like my grandma, my mom has always had a love of fine jewelry.  Although her initial jewels were merely her wedding rings, as I grew older, her  jewelry collection grew.  My mom has small, dainty hands and long fingernails much like a hand model. Although her bridal set was to be admired, it was he...

Every now and then something happens to remind me that despite all the bad things going on in the world, there are still good people out there.  As many of you know early December has wreaked havoc across much of the Southern United States.  Dubbed Cleon and Dion by The Weather Channel, these two storms have brought many cities, including mine, to a standstill and Winter has yet to begin. Earlier today, I came across a Facebook post that touched my heart so much and just reminded me of the kindness of others we often take for granted.  The post prompted me to log off my computer and give a giant bear hug to my Hubby who I scolded for going out last night as sleet began to cover the streets in our neighborhood.  To put it short, I was wrong.   We have a neighbor who is a pastor.  He's one of my husband's best friends.  They're kindred spirits of sorts despite their obvious differences.  One, burly and bearded.  The other, fit and clean-s...

Have you listened to the radio lately?  OMG!  It's crazy or "cray" as my niece reminds me.  I'm so glad to see a group sharing good music with a positive message. About 1 Girl Nation: Landing in the space where One Direction meets TobyMac, 1 Girl Nation is an exciting blend of upbeat pop music, with lyrics that are totally focused on living life for God, even while you’re young. 1GN, as they’ve already been dubbed, stars Carmen, Kayli, Kelsey, Lauryn Taylor and Lindsey, five girls with a passion for telling their fans about Christ through their music. Their first single, “While We’re Young,” can be heard on radio stations across the country and their self-titled debut album is available now! Our Thoughts: Music is a constant in the Three Boys and an Old Lady household and finding music the entire family can enjoy can be a challenge sometimes.  Fortunately there are groups like 1GN who record music that not only rocks but rocks with a message.  I decide...
