When I had my kitchen completely remodeled last year, it was one of the most exhilarating experiences that I have had as a homeowner. It was such a treat to see my vision come to life and I absolutely insisted on having matching appliances so they could be the Crown Jewels of my new kitchen.

Get Your Kitchen Ready For Family Night! @Glad #Ad
*I wrote this post as part of my participation in a blog tour on behalf of TapInfluence and Glad and received compensation to thank me for taking the time to participate. However, all opinions expressed are my own. As the mother of two sons, I consider it my personal responsibility to teach them the life skills that they will need to be independent and productive members of the community once they become adults. This includes spending time with them teaching them how to take care of things around the house such as cleaning, cooking and doing laundry. Every week, we spend a family night reinforcing how to get things done in these areas and it is also a wonderful opportunity to bond and spend quality time together. This past week, I taught my boys how to get the kitchen ready for entertaining when the whole family comes over. We love to get everyone together for the holidays and it is important to make sure that the kitchen is clean and … [Read more...]

The Perfect Spatula? @ProductofGir
Those of you who have been following Tough Cookie Mommy for awhile know that I love trying out family-friendly products that not only make my life easier, but also fit in to our busy and hectic schedules. This is especially true in our kitchen and when it comes to preparing meals. We prepare meals on-the-go and need foods and cooking utensils that don't require a lot of time and energy. In our home, the spatula is probably the most commonly used cooking utensil. We use it for everything from frying eggs in the pan to doling out butter from the tub. It is constantly being used and gets a lot of cooking action so we have damaged our share of spatulas during the years due to normal wear and tear. The opportunity to review the GIR Spatula came at the perfect time because my husband had just recently left our old spatula on the stove and its wooden handle was burnt to a crisp. Besides the fact that we desperately needed a new spatula, I welcomed a … [Read more...]
