For 6 years, I identified as a "girl mom." I had two of the girliest girls ever, and we did girlie girl things. We bought tutus, glitter, and all things pink. We had tea parties with friends, and princess parties when we were bored. All our friends had girls as well, so it was easy to plan a girl theme for each playdate. And then I got pregnant. Friends and family took turns guessing if it was another girl or a boy in the sea of girls. ...

My oldest is at that age where she's into sports and organized activities. She wants to be involved in everything, and we don't mind giving each activity a fair shot until she's found the one she loves. During any organized activity she's participated in, fundraising is a huge aspect. From raising money to purchase supplies or sports clothes, to bigger projects like stadium fees and more, our kids rely on the ...
Virtual Reality Comes to @BestBuy with an Awesome Package for #FathersDay!
I remember hearing about virtual reality goggles in the late 90s. I was always intrigued by the idea of virtual reality as a way to create your own little world. The logistics didn't make much sense at the time, but in our newer, more digital age, everything is possible- even virtual reality! Samsung and Oculus have come out with Gear VR - Mobile virtual reality that puts users at the center of the action. Paired up with a Samsung ...
When You Are Searching for The Best Version of Yourself #LifeReimagined #ad
I'm not sure if it's maturity kicking in or life experiences molding me, but I notice a change in how I handle situations. I use to rely very heavily on being in the moment and reacting to everything, but experience has taught me that a quick response is not always necessary. I've always prided myself on being me, and being true to myself, which is always a good thing, unless the true "you" is easily taken advantage of and can't say NO even if ...
Restocking The Baby Bag #ButtPasteMom
Having a properly stocked diaper bag is easier said than done. The problem is, I don't always pack the same or have the same bag with me at all times. For short trips, I don't need much more than a few diapers and wipes. For longer day trips, I need snacks, meals, and a change of clothes for baby. By baby #3, you'd think I have the hang of this by now, but the truth is I've become a little cocky in my choices. Who needs baby items ...
Baby’s First Swimming Lesson With #SwimWays! #IC ad
Summer is just around the corner and it's not too early to start getting prepared. My two oldest kids are learning to swim and have ditched their floatation devices now that they are comfortable in the water. Being a non-swimmer, having my kids comfortable in the water and truly enjoying their time this summer without fear is important to me. The 5th annual National Learn to Swim Day is this Saturday, 5/21, and while we can't celebrate ...
Using Diaper Coupons to Stock Up on the Basics #KrogerLittleSnugglers #Pmedia #ad
When planning for baby, we often get so wrapped up in the big-ticket items like baby gear that we forget the basics. When I came home from the hospital with my first baby, I thought I had everything I needed. The only problem is I believed everyone I spoke to that said newborn-size diapers and clothes aren't worth it. I should have listened to my mommy-instinct. But baby #2 and 3 I really did have it all(most) figured out, and stocked up on my ...
