For a mom who places a lot of importance on outdoor play and physical activity, I have to admit that my girls are not as comfortable on their bikes as I would hope they would be. My oldest daughter received her first bicycle two years ago and I can almost count on two hands the amount of times she's actually ridden it. She was always a little awkward on it, but that could be my fault for wanting to get something a little bigger to last longer, ...

Pretend Play with Pacific Play Tents + Enter To Win a $50 Gift Card!
Do your kids love having their own play area? My girls do. While they have an entire playroom dedicated just for them, they still love having their own secret hide outs. I've found them setting up blankets, towels, and sheets to built little houses for themselves and their dolls, but nothing compares to the sturdy construction and vibrant colors of tents from Pacific Play tents. Our first experience with Pacific Play tents was when my ...
The @ClickNKids 2 Tablet Is A Hit This Holiday Season!
Tablets are in and every child I have seen in a waiting room, stroller, or car seat has one! My girls are no exclusion to this, and while I often encourage socializing and outdoor play, some screen time is great for them to learn how to work technology, and also pick up skills from apps that are age appropriate. Believe it or not, my 5 year old had a hard time playing by herself and always needed to be entertained. After watching a few YouTube ...

There is a new girl in town this holiday season and her name is Gabby. Chatty Gabby by Chatsters, to be specific, and she has a lot to talk to you about! I was introduced to Chatty Gabby at a blogging expo where I got to know the quirky, witty, robotic teenager who chatted my ear off!

Zoomer Zuppies Are Hot This Season! #HolidayGiftGuide #ZoomerLove
My daughter has been asking for a pet for the past 3 years. While I've always grown up with pets in the house when I was younger, I never had to worry about taking care of a pet's needs. Now that I think about it, I really don't want to be saddled with another responsibility right now, and our "get up and go" lifestyle just isn't conducive to a pet. So, while watching TV one day, my daughter saw a commercial for Zoomer Zuppies- the miniature ...
We Had An Awesome #LeapTV Party! #MommyParties
I'm pretty sure the majority of the US is starting to get a taste for what winter has in store for us. With temperatures already dropping and even snow in some parts, it seems we've gotten an early start to the cold weather. Keeping the kids happy, entertained, and active can be a challenge, but with new interactive video games children can still get up, have fun, and get moving with their friends- even if it is just in their living room! We ...
Enhance Their Sewing Skills With This Fun Kit!
This holiday season there are a ton of toys on my oldest daughter’s wish list. I don’t know a child in her age group that would ask for anything but toys, and even though we love to keep the fun in the holidays, I also want to give her something that can enhance her skills. She is very crafty and works well with her hands, so I would love to introduce sewing to her someday soon. Growing up, my mother and grandmother set up a great foundation for ...
