With my third baby ready to make his debut in a few weeks, I'm pretty much stocked up on all the essentials I will need when he comes home. Things are very different this time around, knowing what I will need, what I won't use, and what brands I loved the first two times around the new baby block. Earth's Best is a brand that I not only love and trust, but that has also grown with my family. Earth's Best was our go- to for baby food when I ...

Getting Creative While Snacking on The Go #Motts #spon
This blog post is sponsored by Mott’s and SocialMoms. The opinions and ideas expressed here are my own. Do you ever feel like lunches have become a new competition in the Olympics? I totally feel like the mom shown in the video above. I’ve tried my hand at creative lunches for my preschooler and when most of it came home untouched, I threw in the towel and started to simplify her meals. I would much rather spend my creativity on ...
What’s In Your First Aid Kit? #playon
Even before having kids of my own, I was "that mom." The one who always felt like she had to be prepared for everything. In my car I always carried a small first aid kit with the essentials. Now that I have kids of my own, not much has changed. I'm still the over-prepared mom at the playground with antiseptic, band aids, and NEOSPORIN®, willing to offer booboo healing to anyone who may need it. My first aid kits vary from my bag, ...
Give Mom The Gift of Comfort and Style With Rockport Shoes!
There's nothing like a new pair of heels that complete your outfit and make you look fantastic. If you are anything like me, then you love a pair of fancy shoes for a special event but dread the pain that comes along with wearing heels. I have a hard time with shoes and prefer to wear sneakers and flip flops over shoes any day, only because my feet just weren't made for nice shoes. I can never seem to get the right fit, and within an hour of ...
We Love Spending Time Outside Now That Our Yard is a Little Greener! #LiveLifeOutside #IC #AD
When you finally get something you've wanted, you tend to appreciate it more than if you always had it. That's how my husband and I feel about our lawn. We came from a concrete jungle and longed for the summer days where we could enjoy outdoor relaxation, a nice patio set to dine on, and lush green grass surrounding us. We finally got that wish, and last year was our first summer spent with a backyard. Watching our girls play together ...
Potty Training With #PampersEasyUps, Plus a Prize Pack Giveaway!
When it comes to potty training, no two children are alike. My first daughter was terrified of the potty, but with lots of support and one on one time, she was successfully potty trained in just 3 days. My second daughter, on the other hand, showed me signs of readiness at 13 months old, was potty trained for a week at 18 months, and then she became very sick and regressed a bit. After that we went on vacation and decided to just wait until she ...
Check Out Walmart’s Stock and Save Event and Enter to win a @Walmart Gift Card!
What happens when you are 8 months pregnant, unable to walk well, and have a home to tend to? Well, a lot of things can go wrong. My third pregnancy has been less than ideal with bouts of bed rest, severe SPD pain, and a temperamental sciatic nerve that have left me looking for convenience. It wasn't until I sent my husband out in the snow for toilet paper one evening, that we realized we had run out of basic necessities. I was really lagging in ...
Get Roped Up In SweeTARTS Soft & Chewy Ropes
It doesn't matter how old I get, there is something about some of my old favorite candies that always have me going back. Maybe it's nostalgia, or maybe just a sweet craving, but there is always a little something stashed away in the cabinet for when that moment hits. I usually stick to familiar favorites, but I am happy I tried the new SweeTARTS Soft & Chewy candy ropes. Yes, the same SweeTARTS candies you remember from childhood are now ...
