This post is part of a sponsored campaign for Sony Pictures Home Entertainment. I received compensation for my participation, but my review and opinions are my own. Bubbles... it doesn't matter how old or young you are, bubbles are always fascinating. I remember once sitting in the parking lot of a festival trying so desperately to calm my over-excited and tantruming-toddler. She was my first baby, and I was still learning all ...

Wholesome Dinners Were on the Table This Week, Courtesy of Gobble
Raise your hand if you cook a homemade gourmet meal every night. . . yeah, I didn't think so! I'll be honest, on the days I'm not excessively tired or being lazy, the only reason a "real" meal can't come together is that I simply don't have all the ingredients I need. If someone were to drop off groceries with every detail to make a delicious dinner, I wouldn't resort to our typical grilled chicken with a side of veggies, or our thrown-together ...
The Importance of Teaching Kids to Swim at a Young Age
This post was sponsored by SwimWays as part of an Influencer Activation for Influence Central and all opinions expressed in my post are my own. Even before I had kids I knew that when I did become a mother, teaching my kids to swim early would be a priority. I'm not a swimmer, I never learned to swim, and if you ask my husband it's because witches don't float. Don't get me wrong, I love the water. Toss me in a pool any day and I'm in heaven, ...
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 ...
Is Amazon Prints good for photos? YES it is! Plus $1000 of Amazon Gift Cards to be Won!
Thanks to Amazon for sponsoring this post and providing prizes for the giveaway! Amazon, Fire and the Amazon Fire TV logo are trademarks of Amazon.com, Inc. or its affiliates. I know I can't be the only one who runs out of phone memory when my kids are doing something absolutely photo-worthy (which is just about every minute in my eyes!) I finally have a system that works for me to free up memory. It's not fool-proof but it works ...
Spinach and Feta Stuffed Chicken over Cauliflower
This post is part of a sponsored campaign for Nexium24HR and product was provided for inclusion. All opinions are my own. I am not a medical doctor so I cannot dispense medical advice. Before starting a new regimen, please consult your doctor. My husband and I recently went on a cleaner-eating kick and lost a total of 50 pounds between us. It's been so rewarding watching the numbers on the scale go down, having clearer skin, and preparing ...
McDonald’s New Offerings Are Impressive!
This post was sponsored by McDonald’s as part of an Ambassador Program for Influence Central and all opinions expressed in my post are my own. Travel season is coming up and I'm looking forward to road trips with my family. We try to get away at least once every few months even if it's just a weekend getaway, but over the summer we take frequent trips and like to explore new things. My husband is a teacher, so having him home for the summer is ...
Making New Memories and Living Life Outside This Summer
Four years ago my husband and I couldn't wait to host in a backyard. At that time we had just purchased our first home and planned to go to closing a few months after. We had a lot of plans to change some things- the kitchen, the floors, and the backyard. What we didn't know that the process we started in March of 2013 would not be completed until October 2013 with no time to actually enjoy our backyard. By the following spring, we made it a ...
