Tablets are in and every child I have seen in a waiting room, stroller, or car seat has one! My girls are no exclusion to this, and while I often encourage socializing and outdoor play, some screen time is great for them to learn how to work technology, and also pick up skills from apps that are age appropriate. Believe it or not, my 5 year old had a hard time playing by herself and always needed to be entertained. After watching a few YouTube ...

Last Minute Stocking Stuffer Idea: Dunkin Coffee Card and Your Chance To Win! (#Giveaway!)
Looking for last minute stocking stuffers? I try to treat my daughter's teachers to something they will love and use during the holiday season, and gift cards are usually the way to go. In the past 3 years my daughter has been in school, her teachers always get treated to a Dunkin Donuts gift card or Dunkin gift set because I know what fuels them in the morning! When I was teaching, I couldn't go a morning without my java fix, and it helped get ...
Enjoy Those Holiday Dinners Without Gas! #CharcoCapsNoMoreGas

There’s Still Time To Shop at @BestBuy This #HintingSeason! @Xbox
My hubby rarely has time for himself. Sure, he has an awesome work schedule, but by the time he gets out of work, he's running errands, picking up our daughter from after school activities, trying to help me manage homework, dinner, and bath time - all while having to finish up projects of his own for work. By the time we are able to sit and enjoy each other's company, it's bed time, and I'm usually the first one down! This holiday season, ...

Gifts for Baby: @DionoUSA Rainier Is The Only Car Seat They Will Need! #HolidayGiftGuide2014
There are some people on my holiday list that have big red question marks instead of a gift idea. I'm usually pretty good at finding something for everyone, but there are a few that leave me stumped. For example, my friend who recently got married, moved, and had a baby, all within the past year can fall into a few categories when it comes to holiday shopping. I can get her something just for her- maybe a day at the spa. Or something for the ...
Taking A Time Out for Mommy With Stouffer’s #MacCups! #sponsored
I use to find myself skipping meals throughout the day, but I would wind up at 3pm just feeling awful. Even though I would snack throughout the day, my body was telling me I needed more- even if it was just 10 minutes to sit down and eat REAL food. It was time to start taking better care of myself and feeding my body, instead of hitting that afternoon slump when I needed my energy the most. Stouffer's is a name that usually means delicious ...
Gifts For Baby & New Parents: The @SummerInfant Pop n Play Portable Playard!
There are some people who are easy to shop for this holiday season, and there are others who may be a bit challenging. What do you get a new parent who has everything they seem to need for their baby? It is very rare that I will purchase clothing for an infant because I never seem to get the sizing right. Toys are the obvious answer, but as a parent who is inundated with toys, I don't think that is on every parent's wish list either. If you want ...
