Colder weather days are upon us and I'm happy to sit home with the kids for some popcorn and movie night when it's too cold to be adventurous. Our weekends are generally very busy through the holidays, but I know we will hit a slump in January where it's too cold to get out and I'll be looking for activities to do with my kids. ...

Red Mango Unveils Their Latest Smoothie Flavors
This post is sponsored by Red Mango. Since our days of living in busy NYC, my husband and I have had a love of Red Mango. We loved everything about the experience when we entered the shop- personalized service, simple and distinct flavors, and just about any topping your heart desires. Each frozen yogurt is handcrafted by either you or the person helping you (depending on the location) and is completely customized to your taste. My husband's ...
Little Tikes 2-in-1 Food Truck
Disclosure: Product provided for review. All opinions are my own. Looking through the holiday lists this year, I can tell you I spot a lot of great toys that I know kids will love this season. I personally love the toys that I know the kids will get a ton of use out of, bonus points if all three of my kids can play together. Have an 8, 5, and 2 year old, there aren't many toys that appeal to all three of them at the same time, but I know when ...
Super Easy Lightened Up Mashed Potatoes
This post has been sponsored by Skim Plus. Over a decade ago I landed my first real job in a bank. It was an interesting experience and I feel I gained so much during my 6 years climbing up the corporate ladder. At that time, who knew I would have ended up becoming a food science teacher? I have one memory in particular, which has absolutely nothing to do with banking and a lot to do with learning how people eat and what their expectations ...
Joy Mangano- One of The Hottest Names on HSN!
Disclosure: Products provided by Smiley360. All opinions are my own. If you're an HSN fan then you know all about Joy Mangano products. My mom has been a loyal HSN fan from the time I can remember, and when I mentioned I'd be receiving products from the Joy Mangano product line, she started spurting out facts and items she's seen on TV. I'll be completely honest, while I've heard of Joy Mangano, I wasn't too familiar with her products, but ...
Shopping Best Buy This Holiday Season for All The Top Names in Tech
The reviewer has been compensated in the form of a Best Buy Gift Card and/or received the product/service at a reduced price or for free. We know what the kids want this season. It's all about the toys. My girls have already started making their lists and know what they want, but the best part? They each choose a gift THEY really want to send to someone in need. We started this tradition about 3 years ago and it's something they've come to ...
Empowering Families To Make Healthy Meals This Season
This post was sponsored by the National 4-H Council as part of an Influencer Activation for Influence Central and all opinions expressed in my post are my own. My kids have been in the kitchen with me from the time they were able to sit in their highchairs. It started off as an easy way to keep them within arms reach while I made meals, but as they grew and became more aware, their interest in cooking with me also grew. During our busy school ...
Lightseekers Provides Augmented Reality Fun
Disclosure: Product provided for review. All opinions are my own. This upcoming holiday season is all about electronics and smart toys. We are a very tech-driven family and love to try out the latest gadget and toys, so when we were asked to review the new Lightseekers Awakening Toy from TOMY, we were ecstatic. My 5-year-old even said it was something she’s had her eye on, which surprised me because I didn’t even know she knew what it ...
