Every Saturday in September Straight Talk Wireless will donate $1 to Make-A-Wish for each person that visits their participating Walmart and takes a minute to learn about Straight Talk. The best part is you don't have to buy anything to ...

Easy DIY Placemat Craft! #HPFamilyTime #sponsored
What would we do without computers these days? Since my oldest daughter became interested in crafts, we've been using our computer to find age appropriate crafts, templates, and learning tools such as letter tracing where she can learn to write. As she is getting older, our crafts are getting more involved and intricate. A few months ago we created our own memory game with her favorite characters by simply printing out cards and laminating them. ...
When There’s Not Enough Hours In The Day… #energems #ad
I don't think I've ever been so busy in my life! Between back to school season for my husband and daughter, after school activities, home renovations, and moving, I feel like there just isn't enough hours in the day. We are up early every morning and most nights don't end til well past midnight, so hitting that afternoon slump just isn't an option these days. Coffee alone isn't cutting it for me and I've been having a hard time keeping my energy ...
Things To Do At The Bronx Zoo – September 2013
A few weeks ago I took my youngest niece and my daughter to The Bronx Zoo to check out the Dinosaur Safari. My niece is almost 3 and terrified of dinos, but once she sat on the hayride-looking tractor which took us to see the dinos, she changed her mind. She asks all the time to take her back to see the exhibit, and lucky for us the Bronx Zoo has decided to extend the Dinosaur Safari through November 3rd! There are over 20 animatronic creatures ...
Sofia the First: Ready to be a Princess DVD Review and Prize Pack #Giveaway!
If you have a child under the age of 12, then you might have a Sofia the First fanatic on your hands. My husband's friend who has two young sons ages 4 and 1 complains that when he walks in the door, his boys are glued to the TV for Sofia. There is something about her that kids love. I know my youngest daughter loves the music and I love the positive messages that are expressed in the show. My oldest daughter is a self-proclaimed Sofia fanatic. ...
Shutterfly Photo Story App Review + Giveaway!
I know I'm not the only one that is guilty of taking adorable pictures of my kids and then doing nothing with them. I take pictures with whatever device I have on hand at the moment, which is usually my cell phone, although I love the quality my DSLR offers. On the go I bring along a compact camera, but for the most part, I use my phone. Thankfully there is a app that allows me to easily upload photos from my cell phone to Shurtterfly without ...
Have a #TickFreeFall With PetArmor #sponsored
It's official! The summer is over and back to school season is about to start next week. You've shopped for the youngest members of your family and made sure they were fully prepared for the new school year, but don't forget your pets. No, they aren't going to school, but they can still pick up fleas, ticks, and other bloodsuckers well into the fall season. Although my cat never made the move with me and ended up staying at my mom's house, I ...
Looking for a Compact Car? Check Out the 2013 #KiaRio! #DriveSTI
I've always been a compact car kinda girl, especially living in NYC. Parking is just easier when you have a smaller car, and it's also easier to get in and out of traffic with a compact car. Since having kids, however, I've had to trade in my compact car for a more baby-gear-friendly vehicle that can accommodate our ever growing need for space. My husband still drives a compact car and doesn't wish to upgrade to a bigger car any time soon. He ...
