My husband use to live next door to a florist and he use to always have interesting stories about two events- Valentine's Day and Mother's Day. Both events elicited double and triple-parked cars, causing a ton of traffic, and lines from the florist spanning half way up the block. I've been known to sort of turn off during these holidays and not give into the hype of Mother's Day flowers, but something's changed in the most recent years. I've ...

Snack Break for Little Adventurers
My kids are quite the adventurers. Whether the sun is out or there is snow on the ground, we try to keep them active. Depending on the weather, we can spend a day at the park or at the children's museum. These excursions usually involve meal-time planning to ensure an empty belly doesn't lead to a full blown tantrum. I'll often pack something easy to eat in the car, like a sandwich, grapes, and carrot sticks. Aside from a good lunch, snacks are a ...
On a Journey to a Healthier Me with @NatureMade ad #IC #NatureMade
It's not uncommon to set goals on January 1st of every year only to have them derail by January 10th. I've resolved to not make resolutions, but rather set attainable goals. Shortly after I had my son last June, I knew I wanted to start a path to a healthier me. Not only for my overall health for myself, but also to be there for my kids. Before the summer ended, I had already signed up for a gym membership, given up processed foods, added ...
Enter to win a Disney Goldie & Bear Prize Pack!
We all know the story of "Goldilocks and the Three Bears" but not everyone knows is the unlikely friendship that came from it. Disney's Goldie & Bear is a continuation of the old story that takes us on a journey with two friends. The adventures of Goldie & Bear are exciting as they learn life lessons through the Fairy Tale Forest. My girls are huge fans of Goldie & Bear; as soon as that familiar song comes on they are hooked. I'm ...
Family Movie Night Featuring Star Wars: The Force Awakens
I have a huge confession to make. I might lose many of you along the way, but I promise, I've changed my thinking. Ok, ready? Here it goes.. I never watched Star Wars before the most recent release, The Force Awakens. I was a little bummed when Disney took over and Minnie and Mickey now dressed as Star Wars characters. But, I've come around. I get it now. After watching Star Wars: The Force Awakens with my husband, I understand the craze. The ...
Why We Chose Goats Milk After Weaning #MomsMeet #KabritaUSA
I'm on the fence about giving my kids cow milk. After a bad reaction transitioning my oldest daughter from breast milk to cow's milk when she was 12 months old, I started researching the best options for a child with a milk allergy. It wasn't easy- soy milk came with its own slew of issues, rice and almond milk weren't nutritionally complete, hemp milk was still new to the shelves. Coming from a European family, I had a host of ...

A Friendly Game of Racing Cars with SpinForce R/C
Anyone with two girls close in age will tell you they can be quite competitive. They are each other's best friend and worst enemy. It's hard to know which direction their personalities will sway from hour to hour, and whether or not they will choose to get along. My husband likes to channel all their competitiveness into video games or building blocks, which I think is a fantastic idea. Toys are a great way to get them to work ...
