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.

I can imagine I’m hard to shop for because I generally purchase what I want or need at the time I think of ...

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.

If you have kids in school then you know how busy October is with the various parties, activities, and events.

We definitely get our money’s worth when it comes to Halloween costumes and love when there’s a theme assigned to the ...
What’s In Your Baby’s Food?
This post is part of a sponsored campaign for Clean Label Project. I received compensation for my participation, but my review and opinions are my own. Last week I had a conversation with another parent in the school office.

He asked my opinion on a specific vaccine, and I was hesitant to tell him what ...
Some awesome pre-tween girl gifts at Amazon!
My husband thinks I'm a little crazy for already planning Christmas gifts for all the kids in our family and friends circle. There are a lot of kids to shop for, so I love getting a head start so I can make sure I check everyone off my list and I don't rack up the credit card bills in one month. I have to admit, though, it's getting a little hard to shop for the pre-tweens girls. My daughter and her friends and cousin are between the ages of ...
