Family nights are becoming more frequent now that my daughters are old enough to sit through a movie. We've enjoyed many of the recent hits like Lego Movie, Pirate Fairy, and Frozen (over and over) and have perfected our movie night routine. We lay out a big fluffy blanket in the living room, pop some Pop Secret popcorn in the microwave, lay out some pillows, and start the movie. Speaking of popcorn- have you ever had that lingering smell ...

Making the Best of Pretend Play
My daughters can be seen toting around Nenuco dolls from time to time. When my youngest daughter was born, we received a Nenuco doll to help my oldest daughter cope with having a little sister while also playing mommy right alongside me. Her interest in baby dolls wasn't quite as strong as my youngest daughter's would be, but we didn't know that until about a year ago. My oldest daughter tossed her Nenuco baby in the toy box, forgetting about ...
How does a trip to the spa sound after changing diapers all day!? #RefreshYourNursery #PMedia #ad
Anyone who has held a new baby knows about that "new baby smell." The scent of pure, powdery baby, soft skin and perfection- there's nothing like it. And then, your new baby scent is replaced with a stinky baby diaper. Sure, you can change a diaper and get rid of the scent, but unless you have a great diaper pail, that diaper scent can linger and taint your perfect looking, pinterest worthy nursery. Don't let stinky diapers damper the excitement ...
Beat The Heat And Keep The Fun With the @LittleTikes Slam ‘n Curve Slide!
School's out and it's time to plan some summer fun! We have weeks worth of play dates lined up, but we also need to think of ways to keep the fun and beat the heat. My husband and I were weighing the idea of adding a pool to our backyard when we were doing construction, but decided against it since our kids are still young. Of course, we still needed to find a way to cool off this summer, so we opted for the Little Tikes Slam 'n Curve Slide, ...
Decorating Our New Back Yard with Oriental Trading
Having two little girls means I get to live out my childhood all over again with them. I feel blessed to have a second chance at all the things I thought were amazing and fun at their age, and after moving to a much bigger home in the 'burbs and having a backyard, we get to decorate with some girlie touches. My husband is totally outnumbered, but I don't think he minds when we add splashes of pink and purple everywhere! Now that we are chipping ...
Summer Fun with Paul Frank!
My girls are getting ready for summer. New swim clothes, towels, sunglasses, hats- you get the idea! It's fun to see which characters they get most excited about, and each month it seems to be someone new. The one constant in their lives has been Julius Jr. from Paul Frank. Each month they have been receiving the latest swag from the company, and this month topped the charts. Each child received their own beach towel as well as snack bags and ...
We Had a Groovy Time with #GroovyGirls from @ManhattanToy
A few weeks ago my daughters invited some friends over to host a Groovy Girls party. Girlie parties have become the norm around here, having two girls who have only girl-friends (boys still have cooties) means that we get to have some of the best parties with splashes of pink, purple, and zebra print! We started hosting playdates when my oldest was around 2, and each party is unique and always provides some kind of learning experience- even if ...
