Many people choose hardwood over carpet floors because of how easy it is to care for wood. After having wood flooring in both my apartment and my home, I can tell you this isn't true. Wood floors require special care in order to preserve the luster of the wood. You can't clean with just anything, and you have to be mindful about furniture moving around and scratching the wood. In my old apartment, I had brand new floors. In my new home I kept ...

Stay Organized and Keep Your Personal Documents Safe with @Fellowes! #MC #Sponsored
Even if you haven't personally had to deal with identity theft, I'm sure you know or have heard of someone that was affected. I was always very careful about what information was out there about me and tried to keep personal information stored away and unnecessary mail and documents finely cut in the garbage. I knew the dangers of identity theft and I didn't want to be a victim. Unfortunately a big percentage of Americans have to deal with ...
Be Prepared this Flu Season!
Virus season is here and it's best to be prepared before the bug invades your home! Nothing is worst than waking up in the morning, feverish, and nothing to help ease your symptoms. My girls have been sick on and off since the fall, but thankfully I always have what I need. My pantry is stocked with two humidifiers, one for each child's room, two types of thermometers, just in case one fails me, fever reducers, and electrolyte replenishers. I ...
Fostering Self-Esteem in Girls With Dove. Enter to win $1,000!
When I was growing up, self esteem was not highly regarded. The people around me made me feel that if I had high self esteem I would be considered conceited. I knew I was good at certain things, but I could never be too outgoing about my successes because of my upbringing. Once I broke out of my shell and met the real world, I realized there was nothing wrong with having high self esteem and a healthy regard for yourself. Now that I have two ...

Sofia The First: Talking Sofia and Friends Review
Boys and girls alike love Sofia the First! My friend has two sons who sing and dance to Sofia's songs, and although their dad didn't approve at first, he quickly jumped on the Sofia bandwagon as well! What's not to love? Sofia is an ordinary girl going through many changes in her life including a new step family, new home, new school, and new friends. Sure, she is living a seemingly fairy tail life, but we all know that beneath the tiara lies a ...
What’s New in The Neighborhood? #DanielTigerToys #TheMotherhood
Have you ever taken a step back and watched your children play. It's amazing, really. Watching them learn cause and effect, shape and color sorting, learning songs, and building relationships between objects. With my first daughter I was more hands on and played with her. She didn't like to play alone and often asked me to play with her. With my second child, things we a bit different. She plays by herself, never asking for me to join her, so I ...
