This weekend I had the pleasure of using fresh mangos to create a fun snack for Sunday afternoon that solicited a lot of “mmms” and “yummms” and “these are so good” from my family. Mangos, the worlds most popular fruit (really! Nope, it is not bananas or apples!), has a sweet taste and a soft texture, perfect with anything from pancakes to salsa and read for dinner, breakfast or dessert.
I am going to show you a really easy way to enjoy these in under 10 minutes in your home!
As a plus, mangos are only 100 calories per cup, which makes them just about the perfect food!
It’s been just over a year since my C Section. Believe me, the C Section was far from “elected” and if I could have changed it, I would have. All those Britney Spears types that say “oh, it’s so EASY” is a big fat liar. And this comes from someone that doesn’t wince on a … Read more
Say what, what? Alright, let me back up. Today I wanted a treat. Like a really good delicious bad to the bone treat and my kitchen was looking barren save for the one xl size brownie still sitting lonely in the pan. Far be it for me to waste a brownie, am I right? But … Read more
While I have tried to make bread and cinnamon rolls and all that, I am just no good when it comes to bakery stuff. I still buy the Pillsbury orange rolls and cinnamon rolls but I hate how BIG they are. The size of them are astronomical and the last thing I want to do … Read more

Did you know that this exists? Um. You should. To quote my husband, who ate the entire container of “caramel frappuchino” before I had so much as snapped a picture, “this is the best ice cream I have EVER had.” And how. Some how Starbucks has captured what makes their coffee flavors so fantastic and … Read more

I am not sure if you have ever put much thought into your mattress. I know it’s a constant discussion around here. My husband has a huge array of knee and back problems and finding the right mattress firmness for him is important to..well..his health and well being. For me, after hauling around a 25 pound baby all day, I am looking for comfort and the ability to fall right asleep.
Without Tylenol PM.
The problem is, he needs a firm mattress and I need something that is more cushion on my body. Now during the course of our marriage, we have gotten plenty of mattresses. From our first pillow top (Sterns and Foster) which caved in the middle, to our temperpedic, we have changed mattresses a few times over the years trying to find the “right” fit.
Regarding Temperpedic: It was a great change from the pillow top to the Temperpedic Celebrity and initially we really enjoyed it. To this day my spouse has very little complaints about it. I, on the other hand, haven’t gotten out of bed in over 3 years without my spine cracking down the middle that makes me sound, and feel, like a 65 year old. I have moved it to my daughters room and she now has it. It’s not a bad mattress, but I don’t think its a GREAT mattress either. You know how the commercials say “ask me about my temperpedic?”. Well ask me now 3 years later. I am not as positive as I once was.
A mattress shopping we go….
Last weekend, courtesy of Sears, we went shopping for a new mattress. I might possibly be the only person in the world that has a camera on me 24/7, so you get to experience it as well.
This is the Haas family freaking people out at Sears.

While summer may be coming to an end with school on the horizon (WOOT WOOT!), there is still plenty of time to enjoy some outdoor fun. And whether or not you can get in your pool during the fall or winter is irrelevant to it’s maintenance. Its absolutely year round maintenance…even if summer isn’t on … Read more

Today while I was fixing my hair (yes, we still do that on occasion, right moms?) Phoenyx kept opening the cabinets. He would open, I would close. Open. Close. While I do have “child locks” on several of the cabinets (chemicals, etc) I haven’t gotten around to locking EVERYTHING up. Quite honestly, its a pain … Read more
