My girls ask me to download new games to their iPads on a daily basis. I typically give in, as most games are free or reasonably priced. My only stipulation for the paid games they request is that they have to have an educational component. I'm all for fun, but learning has to happen too! I know many parents can relate when they watch their children play games- some games are just too advanced for the child. This is why they get bored and are ...

Ant-Man is sure to be a hit this season!
For its latest film, Marvel Studios turns to its smallest superhero Ant-Man. When this movie was first announced, many people were surprised at the unorthodox choice of Ant-Man to star in his own movie, but this film is a surprisingly amazing addition to the Marvel Universe. The film itself realizes that a superhero that can shrink and that has power over ants is a funny concept, especially in comparison to other heroes such as Thor ...

A Day In The Life of a SAHM, A Trip to Target, and a Chance to win a $100 Target Gift Card! #WaterWipes #AD #IC
Target has become the stay-at-home-mom after drop-off past time. As I entered Target one morning, heading to the Starbucks inside the store to get my morning jolt, I ran into my class-mom BFF. She's the class mom I reconnected with last year after having a ten-year hiatus from our friendship when life took us in two different directions. Here we were, waiting for our java and discussing our daughters and their class gossip when another mom walks ...
The Doc is In! Doc McStuffins Pet Vet Doctor Bag #HolidayGiftGuide2015
My 3 year old has been telling us that she wants to be a doctor since last year. She's adamant- must have every doctor kit she sees, has to assess everyone's booboos, and walks around with a stethoscope everywhere she goes. She's a pro at her doctor appointments and anticipates the doctors' next moves with each tool he uses. It's only natural that she gravitates towards shows like Doc McStuffins that center around the medical field. Doc is ...
Little Tikes Cook n Store Kitchen Is Full of Surprises! #HolidayGiftGuide2015
Every few months I do a toy cleanup where I toss broken toys, donate barely played-with toys, and scrub down the playroom. I find that after doing a toy room overhaul, my girls have a newfound love for their play area and spend more time discovering things they were too inundated to see when all their toys were scattered. This latest toy cleanup involved getting rid of some heavily used, bigger toys like their old Little Tikes kitchen. I bought ...
Sick again? Keep them comfortable with these top items
Tis the season for colds, viruses, and whatever else comes through that door! I'm not excited about my kids getting sick, especially now that I have two in school and an infant at home. For a few weeks now my little guy can't shake the after effects from the girls having bronchitis. He's miserable, they are miserable, and my husband and I are in full survival mode with limited sleep. It's not fun. Our only saving grace at the end of the day is ...
