I just took my girls for some back to school shopping. I know it can seem like a daunting task, but it was actually quite fun watching the girls choose their clothes. My oldest can't live without her dresses. She's not a happy camper on gym days when legging and sneakers are a must. My middle daughter is a tomboy princess, if there was such a thing, and her style reflects that. On our most recent shopping trip to I walked into a 40% off ...

Teacher Appreciation Week at Staples With 40% Back in Teacher Rewards #MoreforTeachers #MomBuzz
With back to school season in effect, I have been shopping for clothing, shoes, bags, and supplies. I do most of the supply shopping for my husband as well- he's a teacher and since I started my teaching career before he did, I learned where and when to get the best deals for the classroom. Unfortunately my husband doesn't have a large budget to work with and a lot of the supplies he purchases for his classes comes out of our own pockets. For ...

When Doctors Make Housecalls #momsloveamwell #spon
Let's face it- as moms, especially with more than one child, it is often difficult to leave the house. When one of my children gets sick, I dread the thought of bringing all three children to a germ infested doctor's office, let alone the energy it takes to make sure all kids are dressed, groomed, and fed before leaving the house. We don't often have childcare help, so doctor visits are usually a big production, similar to a three ring circus. ...
Head to the Theaters August 5th to See #ShauntheSheep + Enter to Win a Prize Pack! #IC #AD #giveaway
Finding things to do this summer with both girls has been a bit challenging because of our schedule, or because of their short age difference. At 3 and 6, many activities have a cutoff which makes them part of different groups. While I don't mind if their swimming and dance classes are separate, it would be nice if we could find more activities they can do together. The zoos, aquarium, and movies are fun family activities we can all do together. ...
Sending Her Off to School in Style With @LassigUSA
You'd think that it would be easier to send your second baby off to school after experiencing this milestone with your first. I can tell you first hand, I think I'm more anxious about the start of school than my second daughter. I like the idea of sending her for a few hours so she's out of the house- playing, socializing, and learning, but as these moments roll in it's just a reminder that time is flying by way too quick. One thing both ...
5 Tips To Starting Off On The Right Foot When Getting Married
While you are in the bliss of an engagement and planning your wedding, not many people think beyond the style of plates or color of their comforter. I was guilty of this- I got caught up in the wedding planning and didn't think much about life AFTER that wedding date. Now that I'm married for 8 years, I understand the importance of safeguarding our important items, rather than what design is on my flatware. With identity theft on the rise, and ...
