One thing I looked forward to each Easter was making my own Easter basket full of goodies with my mom. Since Greek Easter typically falls after Easter season, we would get our basket supplies for 50 and even 75% off when everything was on sale. My mom allowed me to fill my basket with whatever I wanted: Candy, chocolate, and that annoying basket grass that gets everywhere. Once I had kids, I decided to do away with the candy, grass, and even the ...

Comfortable Children’s Spring Footwear from pediped
Footwear is something that is often taken for granted when it comes to kids fashions. I was taught from a very young age that footwear is very important when you are growing. My mom was very choosy about which shoes she would allow me to wear, and back then would only shop in children's boutique shoe shops. Fast forward to and era where I have my own kids and I'm still living by my mom's ideals when it comes to their shoes. Proper support and ...
Potty Training Progress #CelebrateFirstFlush #Sponsored #MC
A few weeks ago I mentioned that my 22 month old was ready to start potty training. She wants to be grown up like her older sister and has a need to keep up despite a 2 1/2 year difference. Do you find your younger children are more advanced than your first because they now have an example to look up to? I'm not complaining; if it means she will be potty trained sooner then I'm all for it! So here's what's changed since she started potty ...
Enter to Win a $50 Carter’s Gift Card! #CartersSpringStyle
I tell my husband this all the time: I WISH I had my daughter's wardrobe! Their clothing is just so cute, and with spring styles on the racks at Carter's, there's so much more to gush over. My girls are girlie girls. They love pink, dresses, braids, and sparkles. They love to dress up to go on play dates and grandma's house, but I love when they want to dress up "just because." We have a lot of fun with accessories and colors. My oldest daughter, ...
Attempting To Potty Train Before 2! #CelebrateFirstFlush #sponsored #MC
Potty training was always a daunting experience in my mind. How do I get my child to potty train? I had no idea! And even worse, why isn't my child ready to potty train? My oldest daughter was 18 months when we started. She was and still is afraid of everything. So naturally, she was afraid of potty training. She didn't like the feeling of not having diapers, and after a week of trying it was time to throw in the towel and admit it was just too ...
