I'm pretty stoked... and nervous. My family is finally taking a trip to Europe soon and I can't wait to see family we haven't seen since we got married and take my kids on an adventure through their cultural roots. I have a few months to plan, but as you can imagine I'm stressing over what we really need and what we don't. My little guy will be 3 in June, and he's potty trained and pretty independent. So, a good, lightweight stroller for his age ...

Tips for a Successful Road Trip with Kids
Disclosure: This is a sponsored post with Entenmann's Little Bites. All opinions and experiences are my own. This past summer my husband and I decided our kids were finally ready to take the 10-13 hour car ride from NYC to South Carolina. In our defense, we were in the trenches of the school year when we made the decision, and most likely needed to look forward to more carefree days. We didn’t regret our decision until the last 5 hours coming ...
Share Your Story and Make a Difference
Disclosure: This post was sponsored by PCF.org. All opinions and experiences are my own. I have moments where I can't believe I'm an adult and responsible for an entire household. I still feel like I have so much growing up to do. And then there are moments where I can clearly see just how much time has passed and these past two years I've felt it nearly every day. As I'm growing up, the generation before me is growing old, and that comes with ...
Mommy Look! I can Swim!
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 ...
