Honeywell Cool Moisture Humidifier, A Review

Bloody noses!  Somehow I’ve had a history with bloody noses for quite some time now.  I had many blood noses as a child and now M gets them!  Usually, he only gets them in his sleep!  At first I thought it was from a lack of iron like myself when I was young.  However, when I was contacted by Influenster to say that I had been chosen to receive the #HumidifyMe Vox Box featuring the Honeywell Cool Moisture Humidifier, I was hopeful that this would be the answer to our problems and so far…so good!  Dry air, be gone!!  For 3 weeks now, he’s been sleeping with the humidifier on low and hasn’t had one single bloody nose!

My Christmas List

— Katy Flint5 Comments

I said I wasn’t going to do it! I kind of laughed at those people who did it, but here I am doing it! I’m going to share with you my list of businesses that we are going to be using for Christmas shopping this year!

I’ve always had a soft spot in my heart for small, locally owned businesses since I used to manage one and that feeling towards them and wanting them to succeed is still near and dear to my heart! But, it was actually T who said to me…”I want to do as much Christmas shopping locally as possible” and I couldn’t have been more excited!!  So, here are my favorite local places to buy Christmas presents…and if you live in North Iowa, I would recommend you give them a try…and if you don’t live here, you need to road trip here! 🙂

86-Going Strong and Making Super Easy Beer Bread

There’s nothing better (at least in our house) that a bowl of chili with a slice of warm beer bread!  Thankfully, my friend MS gave me her super easy beer bread recipe that is incredibly delicious!

Meet MS

Let me tell you about my friend MS!  MS is one of my peeps at my “big girl job”.  MS is 86 years old, plays bridge on a weekly basis, volunteers with several different organizations, lives on her own, and is just an all-around pretty dang cool person!  How cool?  I asked her what her secret was to staying to young and spry!  She told me that you just have to keep going, “when you do nothing but sit in a chair is when you have to start looking in the newspaper to see what day it is and I don’t want to be that person!”  Right on MS, right on!!

Jerk Chicken and Vegetables

— Katy Flint8 Comments

Do you ever stumble upon something that blows your mind? That recipe that is so good and so easy that you feel like it’s a trick? Like surely something this easy can taste this good?? Well, let me introduce you to Jerk Chicken and Vegetables.

I knew that I wanted to make up some “bowls” of food for lunches this week and I typically do chicken and vegetables of some sort. I picked up broccoli and cauliflower from my local Fareway, along with a boneless skinless chicken breast! I wasn’t sure what was going to end up being with all of this, but I as I wondered down the aisle of wpid-1447014788574.jpgcondiments, a bottle grabbed my attention, KC Masterpiece Caribbean Jerk 30-Minute Marinade.  Traditional I like jerk chicken, so I grabbed a bottle and headed home (with my  entire cart load of groceries…boys can really eat, remember?!)
