From the time I was pregnant with my first baby, I knew Calcium would be an important nutrient in my diet. I was aware of calcium deficiencies during pregnancy from a friend who had many issues with calcium absorption during her pregnancy. Her calcium deficiency was so bad, she developed cavities which her dentist attributed to this deficiency. I just had my third baby, and while my whole world changes with the birth of each child, my ...

Lakeshore Offers Unique Learning Gifts! #HolidayGiftGuide2015
Finding that "something special" this time of year doesn't always have to be challenging. Sure, my girls ask for the typical things from Santa, which is everything they see on commercials and have to have. Their favorites are the unexpected gift- the one they didn't see on tv, the one they didn't ask for. Just recently my oldest daughter got her hands on the How Does Your Body Work? Experiment kit from Lakeshore Learning and her exact response ...
Party With Lalaloopsy This Season! #HolidayGiftGuide2015
Lalaloopsy has been a hit in our house since she came out with her show. Since then, my girls ask for the latest Lalaloopsy toy they see in commercials or at the toy store. The Lalaloopsy Kitchen set was a hit, and the next best thing was the Mini Lalaloopsy Super Silly Party Playset. This has to be one of the most played toys in our home. My girls even pack it up and bring it to Grandma's house sometimes- they love it so much! I actually find ...
Peppa’s Big Splash is Coming to Town!
In just a few weeks my little girls will be surprised with one of their Christmas Gifts- a trip to see Peppa's Big Splash. This live-action show is something my 3 year old has been asking to see ever since she saw an ad for it. Peppa is her favorite character and both my girls love watching the show as they unwind right before bed time. I'm not sure what it is about Peppa and her family, but many of the kids in our social circle, both girls and ...
Captain McFinn Keeps Boredom Away!
My girls ask me to download new games to their iPads on a daily basis. I typically give in, as most games are free or reasonably priced. My only stipulation for the paid games they request is that they have to have an educational component. I'm all for fun, but learning has to happen too! I know many parents can relate when they watch their children play games- some games are just too advanced for the child. This is why they get bored and are ...
Ant-Man is sure to be a hit this season!
For its latest film, Marvel Studios turns to its smallest superhero Ant-Man. When this movie was first announced, many people were surprised at the unorthodox choice of Ant-Man to star in his own movie, but this film is a surprisingly amazing addition to the Marvel Universe. The film itself realizes that a superhero that can shrink and that has power over ants is a funny concept, especially in comparison to other heroes such as Thor ...
A Day In The Life of a SAHM, A Trip to Target, and a Chance to win a $100 Target Gift Card! #WaterWipes #AD #IC
Target has become the stay-at-home-mom after drop-off past time. As I entered Target one morning, heading to the Starbucks inside the store to get my morning jolt, I ran into my class-mom BFF. She's the class mom I reconnected with last year after having a ten-year hiatus from our friendship when life took us in two different directions. Here we were, waiting for our java and discussing our daughters and their class gossip when another mom walks ...
The Doc is In! Doc McStuffins Pet Vet Doctor Bag #HolidayGiftGuide2015
My 3 year old has been telling us that she wants to be a doctor since last year. She's adamant- must have every doctor kit she sees, has to assess everyone's booboos, and walks around with a stethoscope everywhere she goes. She's a pro at her doctor appointments and anticipates the doctors' next moves with each tool he uses. It's only natural that she gravitates towards shows like Doc McStuffins that center around the medical field. Doc is ...
