Spring is here, even though the temperatures are still confused- one week its cold, the next week it's warmer, but there is a light at the end of the tunnel! Every nice day we've had so far, we've taken full advantage of. My girls love being outdoors and enjoy having a backyard. Unfortunately our back yard isn't that big, but we try to utilize the space as best as we can. The kids have a small swing/slide combo, we have our grilling area, a ...

Pretend Play with Music Festival Vibes Dolls
As a mom of two girls, I stress the importance of creativity and individuality. I know all too well the hurdles many girls face during their younger years where peer relationships influence everything they say and do. Not one day goes by where I explain to them, especially my 6 year old, that while having meaningful friendships are important, you must also be your own person. I'm starting to think she gets it, based on stories about her day, but ...
Quick and Easy Pressure Cooker Chili Bowls
Somewhere between school drop off and pickup I should be thinking about what's for dinner and at the very least, defrosting some meat and figuring out the rest later. There are some days I blink and dinner miraculously comes together with ease, and there are other days that I give in to the leftovers or frozen meals just to get everyone's bellies full. With so much talk about slow cookers and pressure cookers, I knew it was time I got out of my ...
Candyless Easter Basket Ideas
Candyless Easter Baskets may seem a little out of the ordinary, but it's something I've done since my oldest child was just a year old. Since she wouldn't be eating candy at that age, I thought it would be such a waste (and detrimental to my own waistline) if I stuffed her basket with candy. Instead I got her some summer fun essentials and small outdoor toys to fill her basket. Not much has changed since then, as each year my girls have received ...
Something Different- A Peppa Pig Easter Basket!
We are as happy as pigs in mud as the weather is getting warmer and we are outdoors more. My girls have spent every nice day so far in the park, and I already see a big change in their temperaments. The winter blues are being replaced by spring fever, and although spring showers are up ahead, we will be prepared! I have some fun Peppa Pig Easter Basket ideas to share with you. From a Peppa Pig umbrella to rain boots, and some indoor fun, we are ...
Perfect Pastel Easter styles for Kids from The @ChildrensPlace
Nothing says 'Easter' like the perfect pastel dresses for little girls. I remember when I was young, the highlight of my Easter was choosing a new spring dress and twirling around in it as our Easter festivities commenced. Now that I have 3 little ones to dress up for Easter, it's fun coordinating the perfect outfits for my kids. My girls are predictable in their tastes- my oldest always chooses hues of purple and blue, while my middle daughter ...
Pamper your little one with Acure Baby Products
Everyone around me knows how picky I have become when it comes to baby care products. There are some companies that just aren't allowed in our home, and products that I used for a while and stopped because ingredients were changed. Babies are born pure and perfect, so the products we use on them should be too. Whether it's our daily bath wash, our nightly massage cream, or now that summer is coming up- our bug repellant or sunscreen; all these ...
Our Thoughts On The Good Dinosaur
After hearing reviews of The Good Dinosaur, I was a little reluctant to have my 1st grader watch the movie. Friends said it had a few sad parts, and being that she's over-sensitive, I was afraid it would bring up questions or emotions we could avoid a little bit longer. After thinking about it for some time, I decided to give in to my daughter's request to watch the movie. I'm glad I did, because The Good Dinosaur was just right for her age. ...
