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. The first time we went to Disney she even dressed up as Belle and was absolutely star-struck when we saw Belle in France at Epcot. We even got to take her to eat at Be Our Guest, which is Beast's ...

Adhering to EWG Guidelines with Arbonne Baby Care
I know I've mentioned before that I became aware of chemicals in baby products when I was pregnant, but what I didn't delve into was the company that opened my eyes to this information. 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 ...
Make a Splash With Nature’s Harvest Bread and Enter to Win!
Despite the school year being over, my kids tell me lunch still has to be made. I really thought I would be able to skip that step of pretend-feeding my kids. Oh, in case you didn't know, pretend-feeding is when you throw something edible in your child's lunchbox that they love to eat at home only for them to bring it back uneaten. It's more for show. Chocolate peanut butter sandwiches are the only thing they will actually eat, but ...
Exploring our options when it comes to the next step in toddler nutrition #FormulaForHappiness #ad
Woah. This year sure did fly by quickly. That's what happens when you have a new baby. One minute you are begging to whatever birthing goddess you believe in to relieve you of the insomnia, bloating, and general discomfort of being 40 weeks pregnant by delivering a healthy baby, and the next minute you are planning a first birthday party. With my third baby I swore I would savor every second. Every minute. I would hold him and cuddle as much as I ...
A Party For all the Superheroes!
Disclosure: This is a partnered post with Oriental Trading. Superhero birthday parties are all the rage lately. When my soon to be 4 year old stated she wanted a super hero birthday party, I knew it would be one of the easiest parties to plan. Since it was a gender neutral birthday theme, we decided to celebrate my little guy's first birthday along with my daughter's 4th since they are only a month apart. I knew this was one birthday the whole ...

The Coolest Father’s Day Bouquet by @Teleflora
Father's Day and flowers aren't typically synonymous, but I like things out of the ordinary. At any given time you can walk into my foyer which is decorated for the season or upcoming holiday. With Father's Day and summer just around the corner, I thought the Vintage Ford Pickup Bouquet by Teleflora would be an interesting piece to display, and so far it hasn't disappointed! Everyone that has walked through my door this week has ...
