Our nightly routine consists of snacking on apples and watching a few episodes of Peppa Pig before bedtime. Peppa Pig is the one of the only shows both girls can agree on, and it's no wonder why. Families everywhere enjoy the lighthearted piggy family, their accents, and life lessons learned on each episode. For the past few weeks I've been slowly putting together items for Easter baskets for the kids. My youngest daughter already has the ...

Using Splenda as a Sugar Substitute in Mini Chocolate Chip Muffins #SweetSwaps
People use sugar alternatives for a number of reasons, and no matter what that reason is, Splenda might be a great choice for you. I've been using Splenda for years as a sugar substitute in my tea and coffee, and when they came out with bigger bags of Splenda for baking I started using it in my baking too! My favorite variety of Splenda is the French Vanilla packets that I can easily add to my chai tea latte - the smoothness of the vanilla along ...

The @Honest Company has Introduced a New Feeding Line #HONESTFEEDING
Almost 6 years ago my husband and I made a lot of changes in our day to day lives. Expecting our first baby, our eyes were opened to a whole new world of the dangers of toxins and chemicals. It all started when I was cleaning the kitchen stove with something that worked great but smelled awful, and spiraled from there. We started with the food we eat, only purchasing hormone and antibiotic free meats. We changed the household cleaning products we ...
Enter the Eggland’s CEO Contest (+ $25 Gift Card Giveaway!)
Did you know that March is National Nutrition Month? We don't need an excuse to eat healthy since we typically do, but setting examples for my kids on good food habits can sometimes be challenging, especially with my older daughter in school. She's pretty good about knowing her limits on "junk" foods, and when she's home we generally have meals with lean meats, fresh veggies, and complex carbs. My youngest daughter is an egg fanatic. She ...
We Use GoodNites *TRU-FIT* So We Can Have Good Mornings #WalmartTRUFIT #IC #Ad
The occasional bed wetting accident is almost expected in younger children, but this doesn't mean it's any easier for the child to deal with. Both my girls were fully potty trained by 2, and my oldest didn't have the need for extra night protection by age 3. Then something happened around age 4- she started sleeping heavier and longer, and would find herself awoken by wet clothing. It turns out, 1 in 6 children between the ages of 4-12 suffer ...
A Girl’s Day at The Movies to See #Cinderella! #FandangoFamily
One of the most highly anticipated movies this year was a remake of Disney's Cinderella. Although not my daughter's favorite princess, she's still a Disney princess after all and we had to go see this live action film in the theater soon after it came out. Along for the ride we brought my two nieces for a fun girl's day filled with movies, lunch, and some play time. We got our tickets from the Fandango app where we chose a local ...
