When you finally get something you've wanted, you tend to appreciate it more than if you always had it. That's how my husband and I feel about our lawn. We came from a concrete jungle and longed for the summer days where we could enjoy outdoor relaxation, a nice patio set to dine on, and lush green grass surrounding us. We finally got that wish, and last year was our first summer spent with a backyard. Watching our girls play together ...

Potty Training With #PampersEasyUps, Plus a Prize Pack Giveaway!
When it comes to potty training, no two children are alike. My first daughter was terrified of the potty, but with lots of support and one on one time, she was successfully potty trained in just 3 days. My second daughter, on the other hand, showed me signs of readiness at 13 months old, was potty trained for a week at 18 months, and then she became very sick and regressed a bit. After that we went on vacation and decided to just wait until she ...

What happens when you are 8 months pregnant, unable to walk well, and have a home to tend to? Well, a lot of things can go wrong. My third pregnancy has been less than ideal with bouts of bed rest, severe SPD pain, and a temperamental sciatic nerve that have left me looking for convenience. It wasn't until I sent my husband out in the snow for toilet paper one evening, that we realized we had run out of basic necessities. I was really lagging in ...

The Many Faces Of The Joovy Caboose Ultralight Too
A few months ago I found myself in a hormonal induced dilemma- how was I going to keep my 3 year old troublemaker contained in a stroller along with an infant? Sure, a double stroller seems like an easy solution but then we started taking our car trunk dimensions into consideration and the situation turned out to be very stressful. I wanted to keep our newest member in his car seat if he was sleeping, and give my toddler a place to rest (or be ...
Skechers GameKicks Are Trending!
My oldest daughter is growing up so quick and it won't be long before she's outgrown all of the fun stuff younger children love. Things like baby dolls and light up sneakers- things that I've been enjoying vicariously through her. As she grows and matures, her tastes and preferences do too. So when given the option of cute light up sneakers or the latest Skechers Game Kicks, it was a no brainer for her. She gets the best of both worlds- a shoe ...
Pretend Play with Pacific Play Tents + Enter To Win a $50 Gift Card!
Do your kids love having their own play area? My girls do. While they have an entire playroom dedicated just for them, they still love having their own secret hide outs. I've found them setting up blankets, towels, and sheets to built little houses for themselves and their dolls, but nothing compares to the sturdy construction and vibrant colors of tents from Pacific Play tents. Our first experience with Pacific Play tents was when my ...
I Need To Learn To #StressLess2BMyBest @BACHRESCUE #spon
Picture this- you get up in the morning in a great mood ready to start the day. You get yourself ready before waking up your children, make sure bags are packed, lunch is ready, and breakfast is on the table. You wake up your school-aged child first, get her dressed, teeth brushed and ready to go, only to realize her favorite outfit doesn't fit properly and she's about to have a stage 3 meltdown. In the meantime your toddler wakes up with an ...
