My girls are full of energy. They can play from sun up till sun down, and while it can be challenging to find things to release their energy during winter months, it is fun watching them get creative and pretend play with the resources they have. I know when either of them just wants to lounge and not participate in active play, something isn't right. Whether it is a bellyache or a constant bout of strep my oldest has been battling for a few ...

Nothing Like A Visit to @Outback! Enter to Win a $50 Gift Card!
My husband and I have been back and forth with whether or not my youngest daughter was able to handle going out to dinner with us. She can be quite rambunctious and active, so a nice, quite restaurant was out of the question. What we needed was a place with kid-friendly options.

You never know what you are getting when it comes to their temperaments, but when it's quiet time, the one thing they can both agree on is Peppa Pig. I don't know what it is about this lovable pink talking pig and her family, but ...
