On a cool winter day, I love a nice hearty soup to warm me up. My oldest daughter and hubby don't agree, while my youngest asks for soup no matter what the weather. With a house so divided when it comes to soup, I don't make it often. Canned soups just aren't my thing- the high sodium, bpa-lined cans, and taste just don't do it for me. I would rather make my own soup from scratch than eat a canned variety. Frontier Soups make it easy to use ...

Head To Walmart For The Doc McStuffins Get Better Talking Mobile! (+Review) #ChosenByKids #JustPlayToys
Holiday wish lists to the big man in the red suit will be made soon. My girls are already thinking ahead and getting ideas for what they should ask Santa for. I allow them 3 items each, and explain they may not get everything on their list, but Santa will still show up with something they will love. This season, my youngest daughter has already started asking for Doc McStuffins toys and pretends to play doctor with her dolls. After looking ...
We Love Story Time With @KazazKids App!
I know there is a big debate as to whether or not using the iPad for learning is harmful or beneficial, but as a former teacher I think technology can be a useful tool in education. My daughters are allowed to use their iPads at their leisure, but are limited to an hour total per day, usually broken up throughout the day, and can only play games I allow. Kazaz! is a new iPad App that is not only in line with apps I feel comfortable with my ...
I #GetGoing With Jif to Go Dippers #MC #Sponsored
Life on the go seems to be the norm as children get older and involved in more activities outside of school. Running from school to after school or sports activities, or even weekend trips to enjoy the beautiful fall weather means we need to have the car stocked with easy snacks. The dreaded "I'm Hungry" when meals are at least an hour away is something I don't want to be unprepared for. We always have dry snacks in the car that don't require ...
We Got Our Halloween Costumes from @BuyCostumes!
Halloween is just around the corner and if you haven't gotten your costumes yet, you have to get them TODAY! My girls have been on an Elsa and Anna kick since last year, but for Halloween they wanted to do something different. Thankfully Buy Costumes has something for EVERYONE, especially little princesses who have a hard time making up their mind. My oldest has decided Ariel will be her new favorite princess this Halloween. But not Ariel ...
We Had a Halloween-Themed Elmo Party! #MC #ImagineWithElmo #Sponsored
Having play dates with my younger daughter have become more frequent now that my oldest is in full-day school. We both need friends around and having play dates is the easiest way to get everyone together in a safe environment and hope everyone has a good time. Last week, we decided to do something a little different than our typical play dates and host a Halloween theme children's party. With Halloween themed goodies, and fun costumes, all the ...
Unwinding With Hidden Object Games on the iPad #TheSecretSociety
I've been a huge fan of hidden object games for years. Even before the first iPhone or iPad came out, I was playing hidden object games on my computer. For me, it was a way to relax and unwind after a long day. I loved the challenge and felt that it was a type of game I was really good at. I've tried many hidden object games from various companies, but I eventually lose interest in each one because I would have to buy the game or levels to move ...
A Perfect Meal – BBQ Chicken Pasta #PastaFits #MC #Sponsored
Pasta is a staple in our home, and I'm pretty sure it's true for many parents of picky eaters. My girls go through phases of wanting pasta everyday to not wanting it for a few weeks. Now that school is in session and our busy schedule is in full swing, pasta helps me create quick, healthy meals for dinner. The problem? While my girls are happy with plain pasta, my hubby and I like more variety. Perhaps a "dressed up" pasta. This is ...
