Disclosure: This is a partnered post with Dunkin' Donuts. Every morning, rain or shine, after dropping the girls off at school there is a general understanding amongst the moms. We greet each other and almost in unison we ask, "Dunkin?" The answer is never "no," as we all need our coffee and breakfast to fuel us for what lies ahead between drop off and pick up. One by one we place our orders, and while many of the parents stick to ...

Nintendo Releases the NES Classic Edition Game Console!
If you're a Nintendo nerd like me then you can't wait to get your hands on the new NES Classic Edition game console. I use the term "new" loosely because it's a new system but features all the old classics Nintendo started off with. The NES Classic is a small console, fitting in my hand but packs a punch! With 30 classic titles there's a whole lot of nostalgia in this small package! I just know we all have our own favorite that we can't wait ...
All Aboard The Whittle Shortline!
When I first found out we were adding a little boy to our all-girl broad, I wasn't sure how he would fit in with the tulle, glitter, and tutus.

Teaching Kids to Give Back This Season with Flipazoo and Charm U
Last week I mentioned how my family runs a Toys for Tots drive every year. I think it's such a rewarding and wonderful experience to have my own children participate in this event first hand, so they can learn the importance of giving back to those in need. I also think it's a great eye opener to teach them about being thankful for all they have. When a box arrived with two toys they often see on TV, their first reaction was "which one of us ...
Help Track Your Mood with Moodivator
This post was developed in partnership with Pfizer as part of an Influencer Activation for Influence Central. Depression used to be a taboo topic. “Just snap out of it,” “Can’t you just BE happy!?” These are just two examples of insensitive phrases that have been said to people suffering from depression. Now that decades of studies have been conducted and we know that depression isn’t just a state of mind, more light has been shed on the ...
