Does Your Thinking Stink? | Stinkn’ Thinkn’ Stinks
Negative thoughts are a bit like roller coaster rides. The entire time you are standing around thinking about them, they make you anxious and fearful.

If You Give a Pig a Shot | A Conversation About Antibiotic Usage
I participated in this program on behalf of the National Pork Producers Council. All opinions are that of Rural Mom.

How Do You Raise a Giant? | Green Giant Anti-Bullying Campaign

Special thanks to the Lovely Candy Company, for helping us to have a gluten free Halloween! Gluten free doesn’t mean you have to be treat-free or taste-free this Halloween season.

Quick and Easy DIY With ColorGlide Pro
A little over a year ago, I rescued a shelf before it hit my neighbor’s trash bin. The wood was a bit beat up, marred in one spot and one of the shelves was broken. What she saw as old and past it’s use, I saw as something to be revived and refashioned for display. […]
