You'd think that it would be easier to send your second baby off to school after experiencing this milestone with your first. I can tell you first hand, I think I'm more anxious about the start of school than my second daughter. I like the idea of sending her for a few hours so she's out of the house- playing, socializing, and learning, but as these moments roll in it's just a reminder that time is flying by way too quick. One thing both ...

5 Tips To Starting Off On The Right Foot When Getting Married
While you are in the bliss of an engagement and planning your wedding, not many people think beyond the style of plates or color of their comforter. I was guilty of this- I got caught up in the wedding planning and didn't think much about life AFTER that wedding date. Now that I'm married for 8 years, I understand the importance of safeguarding our important items, rather than what design is on my flatware. With identity theft on the rise, and ...
Enjoying the Summer, Peppa Pig Style!
The summer is about half way over and I feel like it's flown by. Still in the newborn daze myself, I rely on my husband to find fun activities for the girls to keep them entertained and active. We love being outside and enjoying our yard, but the girls get bored of their swings and running around, so other activities that can be changed out often are a must. Who doesn't love ball pits? They were one of my favorite things as a ...
Get a Head Start on Wound Care with #PuracynPlusCleanFirst
I try to get my girls off to a good start every morning. Despite the tantrums from the night before, each morning brings a fresh start and I try to start off on a positive note. A good breakfast and a fresh face is the ideal goal each morning because I feel that when they begin their morning with a clean start, then they will have the potential to achieve a more successful day. I believe the same holds true when it comes to wound care. A ...
Inside Out Comes To Life with @tomy_toy
After seeing Inside Out a few weeks ago, my oldest daughter is completely obsessed. She now wants an Inside Out birthday party, backpack for school, and anything else she can get her hands on with her newly beloved characters. Joy, of course, is her favorite. Sadness is her least favorite, but the reality is that you can't have one without the other. If you watched the movie, then you know what I'm talking about. If you haven't seen Inside Out ...
It’s Tummy Time With Oribel’s Peripops Blanket!
It feels like it was just yesterday our newest baby made his arrival into our family, but it's been 6 weeks already and he's changed so much. He's gone from a sleepy baby to a constantly alert and active infant. He loves looking around and his eyes fixate on new and contrasting colors and textures. It's so much fun to watch him grow, and since he's most likely my last baby, I'm trying to soak up every minute of it. So, at 6 weeks we've ...
The Intex Rainbow Ring Play Center Is a Hit This Summer!
Last year was an amazing year for summer fun and travel for my family. This year, with a new baby in the house, our summer fun will be limited to local adventures and backyard fun. Intex is a name known for their quality pool setups, and I love that they offer something for everyone. My husband isn't too keen on an above ground pool for a few reasons - his precious grass might get damaged and the upkeep of a filter and chlorine is just ...
Treating Gas and Colic in Newborns with @LittleRemedies #IC #ad #LittleRemedies
Despite having two older children, my youngest baby has thrown me for a few loops in the past few weeks. I've said it quite a few times- you think you have it all figured out by baby #3, but then one comes along that teaches you something new. From a few impromptu doctor visits to a more recent hospital stay for illness, my little man has added a few notches on my "mommy experience" belt. If there's one thing I've got a good handle on, it's how ...
