As many of you know, one of my family's favorite places in the entire world to go is Tennessee! I have completely fallen in love over the past few years with Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge and the Smoky Mountains as a whole. If I could talk my family into moving there, I would! Unfortunately, they are not all onboard with uprooting their lives yet, so we will have to settle for taking a trip or two a year for now! If you or your family are headed to Gatlinburg in the near future, it is a MUST to hit up Ripley's attractions in the area. Ripley's has a total of 8 attractions in the Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge area, from the Aquarium of the Smokies (one of the top rated aquariums in the ENTIRE USA!!), to the Believe It Or Not Museum, to the two fully themed mini golf courses! Listen to what Ripley's has to say about their TN attractions:  "Visit our 8 Gatlinburg Attractions! Experience eight unique attractions including Ripley's Believe It or Not! Odditorium, our 85,0...

We recently got a chance to review some great products from my *VERY* favorite line of hair care products, KMS California. They are the makers of so many of my favorite hair products, so I am always excited and extremely pumped when I get the chance to try something new! The Moist Repair line was something I was extremely anxious to try. I have super dry, brittle, very naturally curly hair, so I am always trying to replenish moisture. The Moist Repair conditioner is a great product that helps to repair and condition hair. It improves elasticity and manageability, and is an all around great conditioning product for dry or damaged hair. It smells amazing, and it is one of my favorite conditioners that I have ever tried. The leave in conditioner has also become one of my favorite products. It is so easy to use, you just spray it into towel dried hair and style as usual. It's a very weightless conditioner, which is great for me, since leave in conditioners usually make my hair feel v...

With my youngest now in kindergarten, that means all of my kiddos are in school full time. Along with that, that also means an influx of germs. We are all really getting used to dealing with all of the colds, allergies and other sickness that comes along with having a houseful of kids in school! However, one good thing is that now dealing with sick little ones is going to be even easier, because now we have the Exergen Smart Glow TemporalScanner ! First of all, I am a huge fan of Temporal thermometers. They are so much easier to use than other types of thermometers, and I can not believe that I lived so long without one! It's crazy how much one little invention can simplify your life! The ability to check your kid's temperature with a quick swipe across the forehead is just amazing to me. It's so simple to use, and it's incredibly accurate. Plus, what could be better than getting your child's temperature reading in around 2 seconds? For me, that is the worst ...
