With just a few weeks left until my due date, I'm definitely nesting and trying to get everything in order before baby comes. I've already sorted through clothing he will need when he comes home and separated the essentials from the items we won't need immediately. His laundry is sorted, now it's time to start washing everything and putting it away so I will be ready for him. There is one brand that always comes to mind when it ...

Making Oral Hygiene Fun With Firefly Kids Products! #BrushBattle
Oral health is a big deal around here. While my husband suffers from severe dental issues and I have virtually none, my girls (especially my oldest) understand the extremes of caring vs not caring for your teeth. Getting my girls to brush their teeth is by no means like pulling teeth (pun intended) but brushing properly is a different story. My youngest insists on brushing her own teeth, often just sucking off the toothpaste and chewing on her ...

pediped celebrates their 10th Birthday with Giveaways!
We've tossed our boots to the back of the closet and ready to embrace the spring and being outdoors! That means it's time to go shoe shopping! I take my girls for new footwear every season to make sure their feet are properly supported and comfortable, and pediped is on our lineup of shoes we approve of. I'm quite picky when it comes to children's footwear because young feet are still developing. My girls are picky too-they want style, colors, ...
Learning to Balance on Two Wheels With @StriderBikes
For a mom who places a lot of importance on outdoor play and physical activity, I have to admit that my girls are not as comfortable on their bikes as I would hope they would be. My oldest daughter received her first bicycle two years ago and I can almost count on two hands the amount of times she's actually ridden it. She was always a little awkward on it, but that could be my fault for wanting to get something a little bigger to last longer, ...
Arm & Hammer #ClumpAndSeal Keeps Kitty Happy!
If you've been following me for a while, then you may have already been introduced to Phoebe, my 15 year old kitty. Phoebe doesn't actually live with me, but that's her choice. When I got married and moved out of my moms house, we decided it was best to keep Phoebe in the home she had grown up in, or the house she rules. You see, Phoebe, like most cats, has a big personality. She's learned how to work her family members to get what she ...
What to look for when choosing a car seat
When it's time to start making your registry and choosing a car seat, you may find yourself bombarded by all the options out there. Aside from pretty fabrics and adorable styles, safety is the #1 concern when it comes to choosing a car seat. They all adhere to the same basic safety standards, but I've always seemed out those companies that went beyond the standards to provide a safer and comfortable car experience for babies and their ...

There are some days when you have to take a step back from the whole parenting gig and just laugh. Whether you are a parent or not, you may know that parenting is not for the faint of heart. There are so many wonderful moments and experiences that engrain themselves in your soul and last a lifetime, then there are the others that are equally significant but not as magical.
