When I was a junior in high school I had a unique opportunity to work in a bank. I worked there for 6 years and learned a lot along the way in terms of my own finances. I think it is so important to start kids young when it comes to managing money, and as a teacher, even incorporated check writing, balancing, and budgeting with my own middle school and high school students. Boiling Springs Bank knows just how important it ...

Peapod Has Expanded Their #NYC Delivery Routes! Enter to #win $100 To Spend at @PeapodDelivers!
I've reached that point in my pregnancy where I could lay at home all day and not feel bad about missing the sun shining outside. I'm tired and achy, but thankfully a daily routine with my kids keeps me busy and prevents that 9 month slump. One thing I've given up on- grocery shopping. I just can't waddle up and down aisles with my toddler, but we still need to eat. Thankfully Peapod from Stop n Shop is available to get groceries delivered right ...
Staying Organized at Camp with Labels from @MabelHood #ICCAMPMABEL #IC #AD
It wasn't until my first daughter started nursery school that I understood the importance of properly labeling her items. She came home with someone else's jacket, which was identical to her own. I knew something wasn't right when the sleeves were too short, and for a minute I actually believed she had a growth spurt and I didn't notice the jacket didn't fit properly when I dressed her in the morning. After I saw the size label in the ...
Saving Every Drop Of Breast Milk With Milkies Milk Saver
As I'm gearing up to breastfeed another baby in a few weeks, I feel confident that I know the process my body will go through as it adjusts to making milk. I've had a decent supply with both my girls, and even purchase an additional freezer after my first baby to keep up with my work-supply of milk. The one thing that I've had to be mindful of each time was my explosive let down when my children would nurse. I wasn't coordinated with ...
Making Bath Time Fun With Yookidoo
Something happened between the ages of 2-3 where my little one decided she no longer liked bath time and would throw a tantrum each night before being bribed to go in. This was completely out of character for my water-baby, but figured it was a phase and just kept trying to find ways to get her in. Our latest tactic was a new toy. The Yookidoo Stack N Spray Tub Fountain is unlike any other toy she's previously had for bath time. This fun toy ...
Celebrating #FaTHURSday with Norelco #TBT
Father's Day is coming up! You know, the holiday where you celebrate dad with a new tie, work shirt, or painted pet rock. I almost thought I would slide this year, being that my husband and I will be celebrating the birth of our 3rd child around Father's Day, but my 5 year old reminded me that we had to get daddy something very special. She had all these fantastic ideas- a trip to Chuck E Cheese, a princess play date with ice cream, and a ...
Cute Clothes Without Breaking the Bank at #FabKids
Girls will be girls and I have two very girlie-girls! Growing up a tomboy, I never knew how I would handle having daughters that loved dressing up. Now that I have two daughters who enjoy everything pink and purple, I'm thoroughly enjoying the things I missed out on when I was a Tom boy child. Thankfully my girls can just about share clothing because my younger daughter is very tall, so by the time my older daughter outgrows something ...
