Every few months I do a toy cleanup where I toss broken toys, donate barely played-with toys, and scrub down the playroom. I find that after doing a toy room overhaul, my girls have a newfound love for their play area and spend more time discovering things they were too inundated to see when all their toys were scattered. This latest toy cleanup involved getting rid of some heavily used, bigger toys like their old Little Tikes kitchen. I bought ...

Sick again? Keep them comfortable with these top items
Tis the season for colds, viruses, and whatever else comes through that door! I'm not excited about my kids getting sick, especially now that I have two in school and an infant at home. For a few weeks now my little guy can't shake the after effects from the girls having bronchitis. He's miserable, they are miserable, and my husband and I are in full survival mode with limited sleep. It's not fun. Our only saving grace at the end of the day is ...
Get Your Hands on The Latest Toy Story (That Time Forgot!)
My family is really into the Toy Story movies. We watched Toy Story 3 first, and quickly got hooked. The next day we had a family movie marathon where we watch the first two Toy Story movies. We've loved the Toy Story short, and when we heard that a new Toy Story was coming out soon, we just had to see that one too! My kids love the adventures, I love the positive messages that can be found in the movies about team work and ...
Potty Training? Stock up On Charmin at @SamsClub! #CharminAtSamsClub
Potty training was a bit more challenging the second time as compared to the first. I thought I was equipped with the skills to potty train my second child after being so successful with my first- who was potty trained within three days. My second was potty trained over the course of a year. I know that seems like a long time, but we had a few major setbacks and then just gave up at some point. At 12 months, my second daughter was showing all ...
A Busy Weeknight Family Meal Done Right With @DiGiorno
I am a member of the Balance Your Plate team and helping spread the word about DiGiorno pizzas. As a team member I receive product and incentives in exchange for participating in brand related activities. I have to admit- the last thing I want to think about at the end of the day is what to feed everyone. Our days are crazy busy - by the time I drop everyone off, I have only a few hours to tend to housework, go food shopping, or take my little ...
Disney’s Aladdin is Available at DMA!
There's that one Disney movie that every Disney lover remembers. The one that made them fall in love with the characters, the storyline, and the music. The one that they have to preorder as soon as it's released from the Disney vault in their latest format. For me, that movie is Aladdin. One Christmas, my mother, or maybe it was Santa, gave me the VHS gift of Aladdin. I watched it numerous times, was the Genie for the following Halloween, and ...
Meet the Fisher Price Smart Toy! #HolidayGiftGuide2015
After parenting for 6 years, I've learned about various types of toys. At this point, I can tell you immediately whether or not my kids will play with a specific toy for more than a day, or if they will get bored of it within minutes after opening the box it came in. It's gotten to the point that when people ask me what my kids want for their birthdays, I just want to tell them to save their money. We've donated our fair share of toys that went ...
Centrum isn’t just for your grandparents! #CentrumVitaMints
I try to maintain a healthy lifestyle, but I'm fully aware that my diet can sometimes use a boost. My doctor has always recommended some type of vitamin supplement to support my lifestyle, but sometimes these supplements come in ridiculous-to-swallow sizes that my mom always referred to as "horse pills." Now, with so many varieties of supplements in easier to take forms, like gummies and mints, people are faced with more options and may have a ...
