Disclosure: Product provided for review. All opinions are my own. For the past two years my oldest daughter, now 8, has been telling me she wants to be a scientist when she grows up. Between having a great science teacher that fosters the desire to learn and having a grandmother who was a science teacher, my daughter loves the idea of exploring and researching. For her most recent birthday this past summer, she asked for a microscope so ...

This Holiday Season, These Are A Few of my Favorite Things
This post is sponsored by BabbleBoxx.com. Every holiday season I’m scrambling for gift ideas for my kids and looking for the hottest toy during the holiday season. This year is a little different. My husband, for the first time since we became parents, asked me what I wanted. I stumbled over my words as I didn’t know. What DID I want? I can imagine I’m hard to shop for because I generally purchase what I want or need at the time I think of ...
Our Adventure to the North Pole with Shimmer & Shine
Disclosure: Post sponsored by Mirum but all opinions are my own. Nothing brings two sisters together like a brand new toy that reminds them of themselves. My girls are typical sisters- best friends one moment and archnemesis the next. Their imaginative play is one of my favorite things to watch, as I know one day they will grow up and these moments will be a thing of the past. When Shimmer and Shine were first introduced to Nickelodeon, my ...
Teaching Kids About Giving vs. Receiving This Season with PJ Masks
Disclosure- Products provided as part of the PJ Masks Ambassador program. All opinions are my own. I think we've done a pretty good job teaching our kids to be thankful this holiday season. They've chosen an organization to donate toys to children in need this holiday season, and haven't complained once that they want these gifts for themselves. I'm so impressed and humbled by the actions of my two older children this holiday season, it warms ...
Little Tikes 2-in-1 Food Truck
Disclosure: Product provided for review. All opinions are my own. Looking through the holiday lists this year, I can tell you I spot a lot of great toys that I know kids will love this season. I personally love the toys that I know the kids will get a ton of use out of, bonus points if all three of my kids can play together. Have an 8, 5, and 2 year old, there aren't many toys that appeal to all three of them at the same time, but I know when ...
Shopping Best Buy This Holiday Season for All The Top Names in Tech
The reviewer has been compensated in the form of a Best Buy Gift Card and/or received the product/service at a reduced price or for free. We know what the kids want this season. It's all about the toys. My girls have already started making their lists and know what they want, but the best part? They each choose a gift THEY really want to send to someone in need. We started this tradition about 3 years ago and it's something they've come to ...
Get Moving With PJ Masks Musical Instruments by First Act
Disclosure: Products provided for inclusion. All opinions are my own. I always wondered if babies and children are musically inclined from birth. It seems that from their earliest days they respond to music and so many companies have marketed on the soothing aspects of sound. As babies learn to steady themselves on their feet, they will often bounce to a beat of music. It's so interesting how music becomes a big part of our lives from the very ...
