Dislosure: This post was brought to you by . All opnions are my own. Fostering a love for reading has always been an important "mom goal" of mine. My husband is an avid reader, and while I used to love getting lost in a book as a child, I somehow lost my love for reading during High School and college years. Within the past five years, I've finally found the drive to read books again. All it took was one book to remind me how much I loved ...

Encouraging Reading With Fun, Interactive Books from Pai Technology
This post is part of a sponsored campaign. I received compensation for my participation, but my review and opinions are my own. My oldest child has moved up the reading charts at such a fast rate, her teacher had a hard time keeping up with level-appropriate books. According to her teachers, she's reading at an advanced 4th grade level, but the content in those books may be too mature for her age group. I still don't understand how she has ...
You Can Have a Doctor in Your Pocket with Doctor On Demand
Everyone I've spoken to in the past two weeks has mentioned their children catching colds lately. It seems that spring has sprung and so have cases of strep throat in our school. Since my oldest has had her tonsils out in October, strep hasn't invaded our home but we've had our bouts of other viral activity in here. From the flu to bronchitis, my kids have had their share of illnesses- but a few days ago after my little guy received a viral ...
Peace of Mind with VTech
Product provided for review and inclusion. All opinions are my own. From baby #1 to baby #3, a lot changes - you become more confident, and although all kids are different despite having similar DNA, you have a general idea of what to expect in the early days of bringing home baby. You also have an idea of what you must have for baby and what you really don't need. One of my top baby must haves is and has always been a good baby monitor. After ...

Help Track Your Mood with Moodivator
This post was developed in partnership with Pfizer as part of an Influencer Activation for Influence Central. Depression used to be a taboo topic. “Just snap out of it,” “Can’t you just BE happy!?” These are just two examples of insensitive phrases that have been said to people suffering from depression. Now that decades of studies have been conducted and we know that depression isn’t just a state of mind, more light has been shed on the ...
Simplify Shopping with the Flipp App
Somewhere between baby number one and baby number three my husband became my weekly grocery shopper. I would create lists based on weekly circulars and send him to pick up our groceries for the week. It was much easier to send him than to go shopping with kids in tow, and according to him it saved us money because he would only purchase items from the list and wouldn't give in to the impulse buys (like me.) After a few shopping trips on his own ...
Night Time #PottyTrainingTips and a $2 Coupon! #PullUpsPersonality #DGcoupons
I really thought I would be done with Pull-Ups® Training Pants by now. My middle child is fully potty trained during the day but is completely untrained during the night. My oldest set the bar high- potty training fully just weeks after her second birthday and fully potty trained at night within a month. The expense to keep my daughter dry at night can add up quickly, but thankfully there are coupons available for Pull-Ups® Training Pants. Here ...
