Hi! I'm Lindsay Ferrier. I'm a wife, a stepmom to two college girls and a mom to 4 and 7yo's. I'm deeply flawed, often insecure, at times defensive, snarky on Tuesdays, and I put my foot in my mouth on a regular basis. Let's be friends!

Win a Family Cruise!
May 7, 2013
By now, you know that my family loves to travel. We've done everything together from snow skiing in Colorado to shopping on Melrose Avenue in LA to white water rafting to playing on the beaches of Florida and South Carolina-- and I've written about most of our travel experiences on this blog. One thing we haven't done yet is go on a family cruise-- and I'm dying to remedy that. We've been talking about booking a family cruise for AGES- Dennis and I love the idea of unpacking once and visiting...

I’m Glad There’s Glad!
March 21, 2013
One good thing I use each and every day is Glad Reusable Containers. And I'm guessing I'm not alone, right? These containers are something we don't think about that often, and yet most of us would be completely lost without them. I use them in kids' lunches, in my husband's work lunches, on picnics and play dates and car trips, to store leftovers, and to send out to friends filled with cookies or other treats. They're really revolutionary because I can (and do!) use them over and over again,...

Win a Hickory Farms Gift Basket!
November 30, 2012
Speaking of holiday traditions, I definitely have a tradition of buying Hickory Farms gift baskets for at least one friend or relative each year. Usually more. Hickory Farms also has an established tradition of sending some sort of Christmas gift basket to me each year so that I can blog about it, which is great because I get to sample everything and remember how good it all is, right before I start ordering gifts for Christmas! This...

Win a Basket of Mary Kay Products!
November 19, 2012
There's a reason Mary Kay makeup has been around for so long: it's seriously awesome. As a style blogger and makeup aficionado, I think I've tried just about every brand of makeup on the market, and Mary Kay is one of my faves. It's very reasonably priced, and I don't think I've ever tried a Mary Kay product I didn't like and end up using regularly. I definitely can't say that for other brands! That's why I was thrilled...

WIN The Santa Clause 3-Movie Collection on Blu-Ray!
October 14, 2012
One of the reasons my family loves the holidays is that it gives us the opportunity to have a MAJOR movie marathon. We eagerly DVR Christmas movies and bring down the ones we own from our collection, watching as many as possible together leading up to the big day. Movie marathons are a great bonding experience for my family because so many of the movies we watch can be enjoyed by everyone from my 5-year-old to my 21-year-old...

Win 4 Tickets to Disney on Ice in Nashville!
September 24, 2012
Dozens of kids' events come through Nashville each year, and as a "mommy blogger," I've been invited to a LOT of them. One of the few can't-miss shows? Disney on Ice. We've been to several Disney on Ice shows now, and every single one has been fabulous. The skaters are top notch, the choreography is amazing, the special effects are breathtaking... It truly is a show that the entire family can enjoy. It's also...

I’m Giving Away a $100 VISA Gift Card!
September 5, 2012
"Now this is a good night," I wrote on Facebook the other night as a caption to this photo. I'm so busy these days that this snapshot really is my idea of after-hours perfection. All it takes to make me happy is two children snug in their beds, a great book, and a glass of one of my favorite wines. Me + a great glass of wine + A great book - Spongebob = My Chateau That's my formula for bliss... my Chateau......

WIN the Press Here Bestselling Book AND Ingenious Kids’ Phone App!
May 5, 2012
One of the things I most love about my iPhone is its ability to keep my kids entertained during "emergency situations." Waiting for a doctor's appointment? Time for an episode of Tom & Jerry on YouTube! Sitting in the car rider pick-up line? How about singing along with a few kids songs from my iTunes account? It can be tough, though, to find apps that are suitable for small children and worth the price that you're...
