Disclosure: Product provided for review. We all know that the first baby gets all the pictures up in the house and the second baby gets jilted. Forget the third baby, they are lucky you remember their birthday (I'm the third child, believe me, it's true!) My husband constantly comments on the empty picture frames in the hallway I asked him to hang up last spring so I can fill them with pictures when I get to them. But, between having a toddler ...

Deck the Halls with Peppa Pig and Friends!
It seems that over the past 5 years there has been a constant cartoon character that continues to be a favorite: Peppa Pig. My 7 year old, 4 year old, and even my 1 year old may not have similar tastes in many things, but when it comes to watching TV, I know Peppa Pig is the one show that engages them all. I'm still not sure what it is about the pink oinking character, but whatever it is she is doing something right because all these fans won't ...
A Little Something for every PJ Masks Fan!
I've had a ton of fun wrapping presents with my girls these past two days. While it's unfortunate they are sick and couldn't attend school, I thought it would be the perfect opportunity to spend time together and get some stuff done before the big day. I took each girl one at a time into the kitchen to help me wrap a present while the other girl kept their little brother busy and away from the big mess of wrapping paper, labels, and ribbon. It ...
We’re Dreaming of a PJ Masks Christmas
Are you almost done with your holiday shopping? I am, but I'm not. I should be done - my credit cards and my husband tell me I'm done. I've crossed everyone off my list, but then I see a sale or something I know someone will love in addition to what I've already purchased and I just have no restraint. Like when my preschooler said she wanted to get her BFF a pair of PJ Masks pajamas. How can I ignore that request, especially when I'm trying to ...
Gifts for the Entertainer from Hamilton Beach
Disclosure: This is a partnered post with Hamilton Beach. All opinions are my own. When it comes to kitchen gadgets, I think it's safe to say I've tried them all, or at least many of them. I can tell you what you NEED in your kitchen, what you WANT in your kitchen, and what you shouldn't even bother with. I've tried things from high end brands to cheaper finds and have been wowed, disappointed, and indifferent. When it comes to shopping this ...
Nintendo Releases the NES Classic Edition Game Console!
If you're a Nintendo nerd like me then you can't wait to get your hands on the new NES Classic Edition game console. I use the term "new" loosely because it's a new system but features all the old classics Nintendo started off with. The NES Classic is a small console, fitting in my hand but packs a punch! With 30 classic titles there's a whole lot of nostalgia in this small package! I just know we all have our own favorite that we can't wait ...
Teaching Kids to Give Back This Season with Flipazoo and Charm U
Last week I mentioned how my family runs a Toys for Tots drive every year. I think it's such a rewarding and wonderful experience to have my own children participate in this event first hand, so they can learn the importance of giving back to those in need. I also think it's a great eye opener to teach them about being thankful for all they have. When a box arrived with two toys they often see on TV, their first reaction was "which one of us ...
We’re on a mission with PJ Masks to make this holiday amazing!

I'm on a mission to not only fulfill my own children's holiday wishlist, but also brighten other children's holidays with some of the most requested toys this season. Each year my family hosts a Toys for Tots celebration where we invite the neighborhood to ...
