There is nothing in this world that bugs me more than when the people at my house ask me every day, "Hey Mom. What's for dinner?"
Sure I realized when I started a family that I'd have to cook the occasional meal (this is actually what I thought...that it would be occasional) but never did I imagine having to do it every single day!
Now I will be the first person to admit that I do not like to cook...I used to love cooking and even entertained the idea of going to culinary school, but when you do something 3 times a day 365 days a year for YEARS it kind of gets old at least it did for me! The mere fact that cooking is something that I dread is not even what bugs me most...its being asked "What's for dinner?" I know it may sound crazy (I never claimed to be completely sane) but let me explain my reasoning behind the madness...

- I am always the one who has to make the decision about what to cook for dinner...always! when I ask another memeber of the family they almost always respond with. "I don't care...whatever you want!"
- I always seem to get in a rut and cook the same 5 meals week after week and then my family has the nerve to complain about it...are you kidding me? I've been asking for your input for years now!
- I've been cooking what I want forEVER and I'm tired of what I want and I would love to cook what someone else wants but no one will ever tell me what that is...I know I have eyes in the back of my head and I always know where your favorites shirt are, but I can NOT read your minds!

Meet the Family

My Kiddos!
I have four great kids TayTay(13), Nanna (as the lil's lovingly call her) (9), Lil Man (4), and Lil Diva (3) and two step-children age (13 and 12)...there's always something going on at my house! We definitely have a real life "Yours, Mine, and Ours" going on at our house--and we wouldn't want it any other way!
In just 3 short years Misadventures in Baby Raising has turned into what I feel is a great resource for parents to turn to when they need an honest, thorough opinion about a product! My love of finding and sharing great products has allowed me to work with so many amazing brands and to do so many things that I wouldn't have been able to do had I not started Misadventures! When I review a product I test the product in as many different ways and situations as possible. I feel that if a company values my opinion enough to allow me to try a new product and tell others about it then my reviews of those products need to be complete, honest, and as thorough as possible. I review products, websites, and services that are relevant to me and my family and that I feel strongly enough about to put my name (or my blog's name as this case may be) on it.
