Disclosure: Product provided for review. All opinions are my own. There's nothing my kids love more than bathtime, except maybe ice cream! They all look forward to their evening baths where they get to unwind, play with toys and enjoy their bubbles. When my oldest was a little younger, all three kids would play together in the bath, but as she's maturing, she opts for her own space. My younger two, on the other hand, love to play together ...

Staying On Top of it All in 2018
This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of Pampers at Sam's Club. The opinions and text are all mine. A few days ago I shared the five promises I'm making to myself in 2018. One of them was to be more organized in every aspect of myself and my home. I've already started making changes, like organization bins for the kid's toys, tossing broken toys, and donating toys they no longer play with. I notice that when the ...
My 5 Goals for 2018
I took a few days offline to recoup from the holidays and get my family back into the swing of things. I know you can all relate- it's been nonstop since October. From school parties and events to extracurricular activities, and then throw in every childhood virus that can pass through your home- it's been quite crazy. My kids are growing up before my eyes and I'm still not sure how to process this next stage as we move from the ...
Enhancing Kid’s Learning with My First Lab
Disclosure: Product provided for review. All opinions are my own. For the past two years my oldest daughter, now 8, has been telling me she wants to be a scientist when she grows up. Between having a great science teacher that fosters the desire to learn and having a grandmother who was a science teacher, my daughter loves the idea of exploring and researching. For her most recent birthday this past summer, she asked for a microscope so ...
This Holiday Season, These Are A Few of my Favorite Things
This post is sponsored by BabbleBoxx.com. Every holiday season I’m scrambling for gift ideas for my kids and looking for the hottest toy during the holiday season. This year is a little different. My husband, for the first time since we became parents, asked me what I wanted. I stumbled over my words as I didn’t know. What DID I want? I can imagine I’m hard to shop for because I generally purchase what I want or need at the time I think of ...
Super Easy Olive Tapenade and a Ninja® Intelli-Sense™ Kitchen System with Auto-Spiralizer™ Giveaway!
This post was created in partnership with Ninja® Intelli-Sense™ Kitchen System with Auto-Spiralizer™. I received complimentary products and compensation to facilitate my review, but all opinions within are my own. We have our annual Christmas party with our closest friends coming up. We started the tradition when we first got married, and our parties have evolved greatly in the past 10 years. What started off as getting friends together for a ...
Visiting A Mall Santa for the First Time
Disclosure: This post was sponsored by SantaHQ and HGTV. All opinions and experiences are my own. Nothing starts off the holiday season like a trip to the mall to see Santa himself! From the day after Thanksgiving right up to Christmas Eve, Santa can be found in many places. Finding the RIGHT Santa is not an easy mission, but I think we may have found where he's been hiding out! Yesterday we took a trip to Queens Center Mall with my ...
Our Adventure to the North Pole with Shimmer & Shine
Disclosure: Post sponsored by Mirum but all opinions are my own. Nothing brings two sisters together like a brand new toy that reminds them of themselves. My girls are typical sisters- best friends one moment and archnemesis the next. Their imaginative play is one of my favorite things to watch, as I know one day they will grow up and these moments will be a thing of the past. When Shimmer and Shine were first introduced to Nickelodeon, my ...
