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 ...

Making the Best of a Small Yard for Big Summer Fun with Little Tikes
Gorgeous weather is here to stay and my girls are enjoying being outdoors everyday. After moving from the city almost 2 years ago, we are not taking our backyard for granted. A slide and swing set has been a great way to burn off all that energy and entertain friends, but can get a bit mundane after a while. My husband doesn't want any more permanent items in the yard, so when I suggested the Little Tikes Jr. Jump n Slide Bouncer to him, he ...
There’s Something We Aren’t Talking About #Underwareness #ad
Although we are living during a time where everything is out in the open and people can easily share their story, there is something a lot of women are afraid to talk about. Bladder Leakage. It happens more often than you think, and just by speaking with my friends who have gone through labor and delivered their babies, I've noticed that just about every one of my friends have been affected. I also realized that although I have my babies through ...
The Magical Night Mobile from Tiny Love Grows with Baby!
With my third baby on the way, I know what I need, don't need, and features I expect from baby items. My favorite feature in anything baby related is the ability to grow with baby and advance to various stages of use as baby's development changes. Tiny Love has hit the nail on the head with their Magical Night Mobile. A mobile, in my book, is a baby must have. From her earliest days, my oldest daughter was soothed by soft classical music playing ...
Quality Dress Up Outfits from Aeromax
With two little girls in the house, dress up is a big deal around here. I half-joked with my husband that we need a closet just for the dress up items, and while he laughed, I thought to myself, no, we really do need one! Princess dresses, shoes, tiaras, accessories, and lots of fluffy tulle, it is refreshing to think that perhaps my son may want to dress up in something simpler. Don't get me wrong, I'm loving every second of this princess phase ...
Make Indoor Rainy Days Fun with Mario Party 10!
Although the weather is getting nicer, there are some days we just can't get outside due to the rain, and even bad allergies. Those days are becoming increasingly rare since we find any excuse to get in the yard and play as a family, but on the days we spend indoors, we still find ways to play and bond. My girls are getting older and sharing in the favorite pastimes of their parents, like good old fashioned video games. The Wii U is the ...
