If you haven't jumped on the "coloring isn't JUST for kids" bandwagon, you are truly missing out. I couldn't wait for the day my girls were old enough to color with me because coloring is something I've always enjoyed.

It doesn't take a mathematics whiz to know that there is a direct correlation between the amount of kids you have and the amount of messes you clean up throughout the day. 3 kids = A LOT of spills, drips, accidents, and messes. From cleaning up smeared Play Doh from the floor to finding that sticky puddle under the couch from the time your daughter spilled her smoothie (3 days ago.)

Sore into learning with Miles from Tomorrowland
I can count on one hand the amount of shows I love my kids watching. Of course, they have their own ideas of what they want to see, but I'm happy when they choose shows like Miles from Tomorrowland. You see, my kids think they are just watching a show but what I see is them actually learning something.

A tale as old as time... Beauty and the Beast is making its way to BluRay/DVD combo pack in September! Beauty and the Beast holds a special place in my heart because it's the first classic Disney Princess my first daughter fell in love with.

Adhering to EWG Guidelines with Arbonne Baby Care

Let me start from the beginning- before I was a teacher, a friend asked me to take a ride with her where we would listen to a discussion on safer beauty products. It was enlightening. I learned about the dangers of mineral oil and how it creates a barrier on your ...
