This post is part of a sponsored campaign. I received compensation for my participation, but my review and opinions are my own. Just one week left of school and we have already planned a few summer excursions. My kids can be amazing in the car, or they can be beasts. There is no in between and no real way to know how their temperament will be beforehand. We've had amazing car trips and trips that made us rethink ever traveling with them again. ...

It’s All About The STEM
The reviewer has been compensated in the form of a Best Buy Gift Card and/or received the product/service at a reduced price or for free. So much has changed in the way of learning and education since I was in school. Now schools are focused on STEM - Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math because so many of the principles applied to those subjects are relevant in our day to day lives. STEM products aid in developing skills in those areas ...
Starpath Dolls Break The Mold With Their Personalized Books!
Product provided for review. All opinions are my own. My preschooler has quite the personality. She can be the most nurturing, caring little person in this house, or she can be the reason you need a stiff drink before 5 pm on a random Wednesday. There's no in between. Her choice in toys reflects her personality. She loves superheroes and rough play, but she also loves her baby dolls and dress up. She's been asking for a doll she can ...
Springtime is on the way with Peppa Pig
Products provided for review. All opinions are my own. Spring is here (almost!) We had a taste of spring a few weeks ago, but now we are left with 50-degree weather and kids who are eager to get outside and get planting! Ever since we moved, my little girls have been excited each spring to get out and plant. Our previous home was in a concrete jungle, and we didn't have much room for planting. They get excited as they watch the fruits of their ...
Early Learning with Unlikely Tools
When my oldest daughter started pre-k, I thought it was my job to teach her all about her letters. Her teachers insisted I leave the learning to them, but I soon learned that common core in a Montessori pre-k class meant they don't rigidly teach the alphabet or letter sounds. She caught up in kindergarten, but I was left a little disenchanted by what the school felt was developmentally appropriate and what wasn’t. Just for reference, in place of ...
The Teletubbies are back to celebrate two decades of belly laughs! #TeletubbiesUSA
I am a Teletubbies Blogger Ambassador. This post is part of a sponsored campaign. I received compensation for my participation, but my review and opinions are my own. Can you believe Teletubbies debuted 20 years ago!? I remember watching it with my friend's little brother, and then when my first daughter first got into Teletubbies. It seems there were one of those shows that kids loved throughout the years, and now Teletubbies has been ...
A Little Something for every PJ Masks Fan!
I've had a ton of fun wrapping presents with my girls these past two days. While it's unfortunate they are sick and couldn't attend school, I thought it would be the perfect opportunity to spend time together and get some stuff done before the big day. I took each girl one at a time into the kitchen to help me wrap a present while the other girl kept their little brother busy and away from the big mess of wrapping paper, labels, and ribbon. It ...
We’re Dreaming of a PJ Masks Christmas
Are you almost done with your holiday shopping? I am, but I'm not. I should be done - my credit cards and my husband tell me I'm done. I've crossed everyone off my list, but then I see a sale or something I know someone will love in addition to what I've already purchased and I just have no restraint. Like when my preschooler said she wanted to get her BFF a pair of PJ Masks pajamas. How can I ignore that request, especially when I'm trying to ...
