A few weeks ago I hosted a get together where I wowed my closest mommy friends and taught them something new about dish washing. I know what you might be thinking- a get-together about chores is not fun, but I assure you, we still managed to make it interesting! Getting together with your closest friends is always a good time, and introducing my friends to something new that might make their lives easier is just icing on the cake. No one wants to ...

Modern Simplicity With #Corelle + A Dinnerware #Giveaway!
The type of dinnerware people choose may say a lot about them. When I got married and chose my everyday dishes, I went for something strong and heavy with simple colors. After I had children I realized they would need their own plastic dinnerware to prevent breakage, but had my reservations about using plastics. My kids, now ages 5 and 2, want to feel like they are grown up and can use grown up plates. When my kids go to grandma and grandpa's ...
Teaching Kids to Give Back With Fiskars! #Fiskars365
Teaching kids about the importance of giving back has always been an interest of mine. I worked with middle and high schoolers who always seemed to come together when it was time to give back to their community. Now that I have my own children, I want to instill those same beliefs in them. Although my oldest is still very young, she understands why we give back and knows that there are people out there in less fortunate situations that may need ...
Power Rangers Costumes for Halloween + Tips To Stay Safe!
I have two real girlie girls! They can often be found in a pretty princess dress or tutu, having a tea party and pretending to live in a kingdom. My little one, however, may have a warrior side to her. She's the child with a little edge. A princess that helps save another princess. Or, as I've seen her most recently at a costume party- the princess with a sword! She's quite a character, and the latest outfit from the PowerRangers costume lineup ...

Check Out The Power Rangers @MegaBloks Set!
Power Rangers have made their comeback and this next generation of kids love them just about as much as my generation did. My nephew has enjoyed many Power Rangers toys, but his heart is in building things. When we were sent the Mega Bloks Power Rangers kit with over 300 pieces, he was ecstatic. Don't confuse these Mega Bloks with the much bigger, harder to swallow Mega Bloks for younger children. These Mega Bloks are small and easy to choke on, ...
Fisher Price Has Smart Stages Technology – Great Value for Years of Use! #vocalpoint #rsvpplaydate
When my oldest daughter was a baby, play dates were and still are very frequent for her and her friends. My younger daughter goes along with whatever we do, but a few months ago I realized all our playdates were never centered around her. She needed to socialize and make friends her own age too. After that I made it a point to host frequent play dates for her with kids around her age while big sister was in school. I saw things in her that were ...
