Don't be fooled by the title- dolls are NOT just for little girls. I really don't think that little boys should be excluded from pretend play when it comes to baby dolls- after all, one day they will most likely grow up to be fathers. Out of all the kids in the family, my 2 1/2 year old nephew the most excited to have a new little cousin to play with. His face lights up when I walk in the door with my newborn, more so than the little girls in the ...

Protect your kids at the beach with #GrUVyWear Rash Guards!
Summer just started and we've already spent a lot of time outdoors with my toddler. One thing I always worry about when we are out is whether or not she is getting too much sun. A few years ago I had bought her the cutest two piece swimsuit that was a tankini and bottoms. The reason I opted for a tankini was because I thought it covered most of her skin, and the bottoms came off easily for diaper changes. Now, we no longer have to worry about ...
Summer is Here! Get off the couch and go play outside!
I'll admit- the past few months I've been the ultimate couch potato- pregnancy kicked my butt and as a result, my toddler didn't get to do much until my husband came home from work. This was a different routine from what she was use to since we were previously very active and frequented the park a few times a week. When weather didn't permit park days, we had indoor playdates or mommy and me classes. I try to keep my toddler active because she is ...

I rarely have any down time but in that rare instance where I have a minute to myself to procrastinate relax, I like to unwind with an .

My little girl knows her way around the computer and knows what to press to get to the games she likes to play. Of course, she ...
Fight Childhood Hunger This Season with Post Cereals #PostCFK #CBias
My family and I have always looked for ways to give back to the community and help those that need it. This past year, I found out about a local woman's shelter not too far from my house and I started a collection bin of basic necessities to take to the shelter. Whenever I am able to score awesome deals with coupons or rebates, I add them to the bin knowing that every little bit helps places that work off of donations. When I heard that ...

Summer is here and you know what that means? PARTYYYYYY! We have a lot of events over the summer. From birthdays and barbecues to ladies nights in and family events.

Still, the weather is warm when we plan her birthday, and we usually celebrate the end of August- right when everyone gets back from ...
