Having the kids home this summer means you have to have some fun activities planned, otherwise you will be wishing school to start sooner! Although my toddler isn't in school yet, I always find rainy days to be the hardest because she loves to be outdoors. We all get cabin fever when the weather doesn't allow for outdoor fun, and if we have weeks in the summer that resemble last week's daily rain … [Read more...]

I've been very fortunate that breastfeeding has gone very well this time around. With my first, I gave some formula in the hospital while I was recovering from a c-section. With my second I felt more prepared and so far there is no need to supplement. Regardless of how successful I have been with breastfeeding, I still have a container of formula on hand "just in case" even though I try to keep a … [Read more...]
We have been a Huggies family from the time my first baby was a few weeks old, up until now. Although I cloth diaper half the time we always use Huggies wipes, and when she isn't in cloth, she is in Huggies Little Snugglers or Pure and Natural diapers. I love the feel and fit of the diapers because they are super soft and really do conform to the shape of my baby. The only time I have had any … [Read more...]
My preschooler has an evening ritual: right before bed each night she watches an episode of Team Umizoomi on Nick Jr. I really don't like many cartoons out there, but Team Umizoomi is on my list of mommy approved programming for her. I love that they teach her math skills such as counting, measuring, patterns, and more! My little mathematician even takes my measuring tape and tries to measure … [Read more...]
Every morning at 5:15am, without fail, I hear the obnoxious tone of my hubby's alarm clock. I don't want to wake up at 5:15 am if I'm not up already. I wake up every two hours as it is with my newborn and if by chance I am sleeping at that time, then I NEED to sleep! Oh, and the days when he snoozes, which is just about every day, well, I could throw his alarm clock out the window because I have … [Read more...]
What software comes to mind when you think of Word Processing? What about presentations, spreadsheets, business email, or productivity? I bet Microsoft Office comes to mind for the majority of people. The reason is that Microsoft Office is one of the most widely used productivity packages across the board. Whether you are a student, a teacher, a business person, or even just in need … [Read more...]
I haven't had a clear complexion from the time I was 10. I would look at other's creamy smooth skin and be envious. Yes, even as a preteen, I noticed that other girls, and even boys had awesome skin and I didn't. I had visible pores, uneven skin tone and acne. Once I hit high school, the hardcore breakouts started and I had to see a dermatologist for my skin. While the dermatologist was able to … [Read more...]
The latest social media crazy: Pinterest! When I got an invitation to join, I brushed it off thinking it was only a fad that would last a few months and slowly fizzle out. Turns out I was completely wrong! Within weeks it seemed that everyone and their moms were pinning their favorite, most creative recipes, decoration ideas, birthday party ideas, and so much more. My biggest issue with new … [Read more...]
