Post sponsored by Planet Fitness. Two months ago my husband and I resolved to each other we would get healthier by the end of June. We stopped eating out (except for 1 day each weekend) started eating smaller and more nutritious meals, and try to get out and active as much as possible. He's even volunteered to coach our daughter's sports teams while I leave the car at home and walk the kids to and from school. These seemingly small changes we ...

Eating On the Go With a Toddler
My son has gone from being a super picky eater to a very adventurous eater almost over night. Lately he likes to try new things and I'm loving it, but he also wants to be independent while eating. This means my toddler wants to feed himself, and while that's a great characteristic, it's also a very messy one. One that isn't always convenient when we are heading out the door from one thing to the next. When we are on the ...
The Fisher Price Learning Tablet by nabi is All Bang for Little Buck!
Product provided for review. All opinions are my own. My little guy is almost 2! Can you believe that? I still remember when I announced my pregnancy on Instagram when I was about 5-6 months pregnant. The rollercoaster ride this little man put me on when he was still in the womb was just a sneak peak of what life with a little boy would be like. He's active, so so active. He loves to climb, and has a wild streak in him. Just about everything ...
Spring is here! Trading Hot Cocoa for Ice Cream
We are trading up the hot cocoa for ice cream now that warmer days seem to be here for good- or until October. There's nothing like a simple vanilla ice cream- it can be dressed up with all your favorite toppings or eaten on it's own. My favorite way to enjoy vanilla ice cream is with chocolate and almond pieces, like the Häagen-Dazs Vanilla Milk Chocolate Almond Bars. Since we had amazing weather this weekend, I sent my husband to Stop ...
Jump In Muddy Puddles for a Great Cause! #PeppaMuddyPuddleChallenge
Did you know that April 1st was National Jump in Muddy Puddles Day? My little guy celebrated this past weekend when he discovered a puddle and decided to go full force into it. He doesn't seem to mind the wet socks as much as I do. Since you already know Peppa Pig is one of my kids' favorite shows, then you might guess where he got the idea to jump into puddles from. His favorite TV pig, Peppa, loves jumping in muddy puddles. There's even a The ...

Candyless Easter Baskets
Disclosure- This post contains affiliate links. I feel like I've been making candyless Easter Baskets from before they were even trendy. Yes, I'm THAT mom- the one who doesn't want her kids to devour 5 pounds of Easter Candy within 5 minutes- because that's exactly what's going to happen if I fill up our kids Easter Baskets with candy. When my girls were still babies, I would fill their Easter Baskets with all their summer needs- like swim ...
Teaching the Importance of Reducing Waste and Making a Difference #TossTheTube
My girls both look forward to the toilet paper ending because they like to craft with the tubes. The only problem is we go through A LOT of toilet paper and we end up with way more toilet paper tubes than they can use. I see the tubes adding up in the garbage and I wonder about all the waste. While making a craft out of the tube is a great way to teach about recycling, I think we need to take the lesson a step further and teach kids about ...
