I love all sorts of kitchen gadgets, so for Mother's Day my hubby always knows that anything that creates fun, edible treats is always welcome. Let's face it, with picky toddlers and not enough hours in the day, moms are always looking for ways to sneak healthy foods into little bellies - why not have some fun with it? I heard of the ZOKU Quick Pop Maker a few months ago and researched it, along with other products that claimed to perform the ...

Soothing Relief for Itchy Skin
My toddler has recently started getting bouts of extremely dry skin and after taking her to the doctor for it he decided to place her on a steroid cream. I'm not big on chemicals to begin with, so I needed to find ways to soothe her skin naturally. I used the prescribed cream for a few days and saw major improvement, then I decided to stop. Now that I had the dry skin under control, I needed to find a way to maintain the moisture in her skin. ...
Organic Gardening Does Make a Difference!
This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Whitney Farms for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine. My toddler and I just started growing our own herb and veggie garden. I believe that by making her part of the growing process of foods, she can appreciate where they come from and make healthy decisions in her life. I try to feed her healthy and organic foods as much as possible, so when I placed soil in our new little ...
Fijit Friends Newbies Review!
Last summer I had an awesome opportunity to host a Fijit party with my niece and a few of her friends. The girls had a blast and Fijits were definitely a hit when it came time for the holiday season. Even my toddler, who is under the age suggestion for Fijits, enjoyed them so much, she is constantly asking me for one of her own. Mattel, the makers of Fijits, have come out with Fijit Friends Newbies which are smaller versions of the original ...
Mother’s Day Gift Guide: Keurig Mini Plus Brewing System!
I'm all about having a time out for mommy and what better way than with a cup of coffee - you know, the kind you don't have to rush to drink just to get your morning jolt, or the one you don't have to take with you in the car as you are running from playdate to playdate and end up spilling on your lap? Coffee use to be a relaxing part of the morning as you ease into your routine, but after kids, coffee is just a necessity that you need to keep ...

NoJo Crib Bedding Review and Giveaway!
My hubby and I were talking about crib bedding the other day and he asked me a very smart question - if crib bumpers are so dangerous, then why do crib bedding manufacturers still include them in the bedding sets? He's right. This is the reason with baby #1 I didn't get a bedding set. I didn't need the comforter (until she was much older) and I wouldn't use the bumpers, so all I was left with was sheets and a bed skirt. I've seen a lot of crib ...
