As kids enter the later years of grade school, they are introduced to the world of technology, coding, and computers. Sure, kids get a lot of experience with technology before this age, but schools start teaching classes with background information. Sphero SPRK is a unique learning tool for technology that incorporates technology learning with fun. I remember when I was growing up in a world of new technology where owning robots ...

Braun Now Offers a No-Touch Thermometer!
Back to school season means the inevitable virus, infection, or illness is sure to follow. Last year my oldest had 7 strep infections and we were housebound for most of the winter season. Unfortunately her doctor has recommended her tonsils be removed if she has just 1 more strep infection. We are crossing our fingers that last year was just a bad year overall, and hopefully we can leave her tonsils where they belong. Along with her infections ...
Intro to the world of Coding by Kids with Ozobot Bit
Right before summer started, I reached out to a friend who is a school psychologist. I was having difficulties with my oldest daughter and her temper, and wasn't sure about how to handle her mood swings. My friend suggested something very simple - a reward chart with expectations on her behavior. She would earn stars towards a reward, usually of her choosing. She did really well on it and within a week earned a trip out for ice cream. The ...
My Milk Donation Journey
My friends always joked how I was a human cow. With my previous two babies, I was able to pump enough to feed them and have leftover to freeze. It wasn't until my girls both refused my frozen breastmilk that I had that feeling of tossing my milk down the drain because no one would benefit from it. As I got ready to have baby #3, our pediatrician joked how I would have even more milk this time around, and it would come in much quicker because my ...
C-Section Mamas Must Have- The Halo Bassinest
It's been 3 months since my third baby arrived and we have settled into our new lives gradually. It wasn't (and still isn't) easy each day, and I'm sure once school starts we will have to readjust our routines once more until we find our groove. All I can hope for is a peaceful night of sleep for all of us. Having my baby sleep next to me gives me some peace of mind. He's just an arms reach away in his Halo Bassinest. In his earliest days, ...

Showing Off Our National Pride During #WorldPlayDohDay #IC #ad
If there's one thing my family can all agree on when it comes to play time, it's Play-Doh. I have to admit, I'm a little obsessed with Play-Doh myself because I was never allowed to have it as a child. While everyone has fond memories of that famous Play-Doh smell, all I remember is just wanting to get my hands on it and start sculpting. It's so much fun when my girls imagine something and then create it with their Play-Doh and tools. Fun fact- ...
