The idea of a robotic vacuum seemed silly to me when companies started launching them. I mean, how effective could they possibly be, and how easy would it be to miss spots? With a baby in the house and two older girls who seem to drop 80% of their food on the floor in the form of crumbs, I needed something that would be my special little helper. That's when we brought Bob into our home and set him up in our large living room. This room shares a ...

Celebrate Autumn with a Pumpkin Patch Cupcake Recipe!
I love the fall. I met my husband in the fall, we had our wedding in the fall, and even had an almost-fall baby.

On days we can't get out, you can find us thinking up yummy treats that reflect the season, like these adorable Pumpkin Patch cupcakes. Kids will love helping out.. and eating these delicious ...
Yo-kai Watch: The Movie Limited Engagement 10/15/16!
A few months ago I didn't know what Yo-kai Watch was. Thankfully I have a second grader who is very into her Nintendo DS games and watches Disney XD, so she enlightened me on the game and the upcoming movie. I have to be honest, I still don't quite understand it but the kids love it and that's all that really matters when it comes to kid's shows. The most surprising thing is that the Yo-kai Watch movie will only be in theaters ONE day! ...
The Virus That Never Seemed to Go Away
About a year ago the "virus that never went away" started in my household. It was right after Halloween. My middle daughter came home with a runny nose. From a simple runny nose everything else seemed to spiral downward. Soon after my oldest daughter was diagnosed with an infection. My little guy started displaying symptoms of a cold in the meantime. Less than a week later I had all three kids sick. I saw a light at the end of the ...
Parenting Your First vs. Parenting Your Third
Seven years and three kids later, I can't say I've done everything right as a parent. I'm still learning, still making mistakes, and still trying my best to do the right thing. With my first baby I relied heavily on what friends and family members did with their babies. I nursed her longer than I ever anticipated- an entire year! I got her expensive diapers, the best first pair of shoes, and the purest baby products I could find at the time. It ...
Baby Food Allergies and Diaper Rash
Packing the diaper bag for a toddler may be a little trickier than for an infant, or at least in my case it was. When my babies were infants I didn't need to worry about snacks and bottles, water or meals. Their food source was me, and aside from a change of clothes, diapers and wipes, I didn't need to carry much for them. Now that my little guy is older things are slightly complicated. We are gone from the time I drop my girls off until it's ...
Getting Into A Good Night time Routine With Baby
This post was brought to you by Procter & Gamble. All opinions are my own. You've probably read a few advice stories on how to get your toddler into a decent nighttime routine. This isn't one of them. I'm totally guilty of not properly getting my first two children into a night time routine until we moved into our new home. At that point I had a 4 year old and a 1 year old. In our previous home getting into a routine was difficult because ...
