Disclosure- Products provided as part of the PJ Masks Ambassador program. All opinions are my own. I think we've done a pretty good job teaching our kids to be thankful this holiday season. They've chosen an organization to donate toys to children in need this holiday season, and haven't complained once that they want these gifts for themselves. I'm so impressed and humbled by the actions of my two older children this holiday season, it warms ...

Come Home for the Holidays with T.J.Maxx, Marshalls, and HomeGoods
This post was sponsored by T.J.Maxx, Marshalls and HomeGoods as part of an Influencer Activation for Influence Central and all opinions expressed in my post are my own. It's so easy to get lost in the hustle and bustle of the holiday season. We rush into Thanksgiving and search for the hottest deals on Black Friday. We attend holiday parties with friends and family and can easily lose sight over the warmth the holiday brings. Each ...
An Edible Holiday Centerpiece
Disclosure: This post was brought to you by Edible Arrangements. Opinions are my own. I wish I had the skill and the eye for design to put together a beautiful holiday arrangement. My friends have the natural Pinterest gene that I lack, but I swoon over their beautiful designs and Instagram-worthy setups. While Thanksgiving is usually the holiday where I have our family over for dinner, the holiday snuck up on me and my mother in law took the ...
P. King Duckling Makes Their Debut on Netflix!
Disclosure: This post was sponsored by P. King Duckling. Giveaway will be fulfilled by P. King Duckling. Colder weather days are upon us and I'm happy to sit home with the kids for some popcorn and movie night when it's too cold to be adventurous. Our weekends are generally very busy through the holidays, but I know we will hit a slump in January where it's too cold to get out and I'll be looking for activities to do with my kids. ...
Red Mango Unveils Their Latest Smoothie Flavors
This post is sponsored by Red Mango. Since our days of living in busy NYC, my husband and I have had a love of Red Mango. We loved everything about the experience when we entered the shop- personalized service, simple and distinct flavors, and just about any topping your heart desires. Each frozen yogurt is handcrafted by either you or the person helping you (depending on the location) and is completely customized to your taste. My husband's ...
Little Tikes 2-in-1 Food Truck
Disclosure: Product provided for review. All opinions are my own. Looking through the holiday lists this year, I can tell you I spot a lot of great toys that I know kids will love this season. I personally love the toys that I know the kids will get a ton of use out of, bonus points if all three of my kids can play together. Have an 8, 5, and 2 year old, there aren't many toys that appeal to all three of them at the same time, but I know when ...
Super Easy Lightened Up Mashed Potatoes
This post has been sponsored by Skim Plus. Over a decade ago I landed my first real job in a bank. It was an interesting experience and I feel I gained so much during my 6 years climbing up the corporate ladder. At that time, who knew I would have ended up becoming a food science teacher? I have one memory in particular, which has absolutely nothing to do with banking and a lot to do with learning how people eat and what their expectations ...
Joy Mangano- One of The Hottest Names on HSN!
Disclosure: Products provided by Smiley360. All opinions are my own. If you're an HSN fan then you know all about Joy Mangano products. My mom has been a loyal HSN fan from the time I can remember, and when I mentioned I'd be receiving products from the Joy Mangano product line, she started spurting out facts and items she's seen on TV. I'll be completely honest, while I've heard of Joy Mangano, I wasn't too familiar with her products, but ...
