It's a running joke in my family that I make girls. Meaning I have two daughters, and chances are if we try again, I'm betting it will be another girl. I don't mind, really. I LOVE having girls. The tutus, the frills, adorable dresses and everything pink and purple has me reliving my own childhood through them. I wasn't a girlie girl- I was a tom boy. I loved playing with my brother's trucks and swinging barbies from the ceiling ...

Mini Babybel Cheese Are a Perfect Snack!
It's time to start thinking about what you will be packing your little ones for lunch! I guess we live in an era of over achieving parents with Pinterest at their disposal, but the new trend in school lunches is not what your mama packed for you growing up. I love the idea of bento style lunches since it gives kids a taste for a little bit of everything in a fun presentation that will make them want to try new things, or at least I hope that's ...
Check Out This Awesome Boxtrolls Sweepstakes! #BuildABoxtrollSweeps #TheBoxtrolls #sponsored
The Boxtrolls are making their debut in a little over a month and I'm so excited! Who are the Boxtrolls, you ask? Well, you must be living under a rock... or better yet, a BOX! Boxtrolls are fun little creatures who humans are afraid of, but probably shouldn't be. But wait, there's a twist to the story: there is a human living in their own Boxtroll community! Now, I haven't seen the film (yet) but I am personally very excited about it because it ...
Phoebe Loves #NutrishforCats from Rachael Ray! Plus Enter to Win a Giveaway! #mc #sponsored
When I got married and moved out of my parents house, I made the decision to leave my precious kitty, Phoebe with them. She was adopted when she was just a kitten and was already 7 years old, so I didn't want to take her to a new home, away from the rest of the family she grew up with. She would also have been alone most of the day since my hubby and I were working. Fast forward another 7 years later and Phoebe is still the same persnickety cat ...
Did you have a honeymoon mishap? #CystexBurningLove
It seems that honeymoons are portrayed as a lover's paradise getaway. The time to celebrate your love and relish in all the new things that come along with marriage. No one ever tells you about honeymoon mishaps when you are booking your seemingly dream vacation. Like when your tourist van breaks down in the desert, or when you find yourself lost on vacation. Since my husband and I could only take short vacations, we decided to break our ...
New Umi Shoes Styles for #BTS2014 + Win an Umi Gift Card and Scooter!
My two little fashionistas are getting ready for Back to School season. Along with the usual clothes, backpacks, and supplies, they each got to pick out a pair of shoes from Umi Shoes! I'm always surprised to see what they pick out because it's never what I think they will choose. I try to stick with practical shoes that will see them through a few months of wear. They also have to be comfortable and versatile to match various outfits. My girls ...
It’s A Shopkins Summer Playdate! @ShopkinsWorld
Every year there is a new trend that sweeps through our media outlets and sucks in kids as well as their parents (just think back to the rainbow loom days!) The latest trend is Shopkins, which we were introduced to from YouTube. My oldest daughter loves spending her downtime learning about new Shopkins and watching people unwrap their new Shopkins to see what the package reveals. There are hundreds to collect, varying in levels of ...
Check Out the Walmart App and Enter to Win a Walmart Gift Card!
Maybe I'm not supermom. Maybe I just don't want to leave the house sometimes with two kids who can't seem to get along when we are in public. Thankfully technology has allowed me to shop with ease even for household basics. If it weren't for shopping apps on my phone, I would have to tote my kids with me on every shopping trip in various weather conditions. No, it's not pure laziness, but think about it- if you can avoid getting in the car, ...
