February 10, 2012 By Tired Mom Tésa 4 Comments

The other day Kora’s kindergarten class celebrated the 100th day of school. She was so excited! They asked the kids to make a poster with 100 things on it. They could do whatever they wanted. So Kora used Hello Kitty and puppy stickers in the shape of a 100 and her name. Then they paraded [...]

New Kraft Fresh Take Meal Kit Review

February 9, 2012 By Tired Mom Tésa 3 Comments

Back in October when I attended the BlogEats Conference we had the chance to try, at that time, a top secret new meal idea from Kraft Foods. It was their new meal kit called Fresh Take. Since the product hadn’t launched we had to keep quiet about it, but now the big day is here [...]

Yep, Dave, his sister, his cousin, and I have all lost our minds. We are going to participate in the Tough Mudder here in Ohio in April. The Tough Mudder site calls the run “Probably The Toughest Event On The Planet.” It’s 12 miles through the mud in an extreme obstacle course designed by British [...]

Loose Tooth & Fever?

February 7, 2012 By Tired Mom Tésa 6 Comments

You may remember back around Christmas time, I wrote about Kora being really sick and then getting tonsillitis. At that time she had a loose tooth and it seemed like it may have been the culprit. Not long before she had lost a tooth and just before she ran a fever and got a bad head [...]

New Kraft MilkBite Bars Review

February 6, 2012 By Tired Mom Tésa Leave a Comment

Kora and Logan love granola bars. I have to say they are one of my favorite snacks too. They are an easy on-the-go snack that fit conveniently in my purse and when buying the right ones can be healthy too. That’s why I am excited about Kraft’s new MilkBite Bars that will be launching on [...]

Kaleidoscopes To You Review

February 5, 2012 By Tired Grandma Judy 2 Comments

I recently received a teleidoscope from Kaleidoscopes To You. What, you may ask, as I did, is a teleidoscope? According to Wikipedia a teleidoscope is a kind of kaleidoscope, with a lens and an open view, so it can be used to form kaleidoscopic patterns from objects outside the instrument, rather than from items installed a part [...]

February 4, 2012 By Tired Mom Tésa Leave a Comment

Both Kora and Logan love to draw and color. As you may have seen in past posts, Kora really has a love for art. That’s why when I heard about the Toon Boom’s Flip Boom Doodle software, I knew she would love it. It only took a few minutes and the software was downloaded and [...]

I was thinking about making Valentine’s cookies this year. I usually just buy the refrigerated pre-cut version, which are adorable and delicious, but thought I’d look for a good cookie recipe and give it a try. I’ve been browsing around for creative Valentine’s cookies and here are a few of my favorites. Zebra Striped Hot [...]

As you may know by now, Kora’s birthday is in the beginning of December and Logan’s is at the end of January. With their birthdays so close together and right during the holidays, we decided to start having double birthday parties. We have one party for the both of them for each side of the [...]

Hormel Foods Go Big For The Game Sweepstakes

February 2, 2012 By Tired Mom Tésa 1 Comment

Back in July, I wrote a post about the Hormel Foods Summer Grilling Sweepstakes. I bring it up because after that sweepstakes ended, I had a reader contact me to say that she was selected as the Grand Prize Winner! She had read about the sweepstakes on 2 Wired 2 Tired, visited the Hormel Foods [...]

Kora always amazes me. With her talents in gymnastics and in art, I never understand how she is my daughter. She’s now taking an art class after school and has been so excited about it. Last week was her first class and she came home tired but it happy. I asked her how class went [...]
