It may not be Mother's Day or anywhere near it, but thinking of that word, mom, and all it's meanings is hard to escape. I constantly find myself questioning whether or not I'm evolving into the mother I imagined I would be, or what my girls think of me as their mom. I think of my own definition of motherhood and compare all the mothers I know. Then I take a step back from my thoughts and realize that we will mess up, and we will do good, and at ...

Animalz Headphones Are A Great Option for Little Ears!
Many children this holiday season already have or will be receiving handheld gaming devices. My girls each have their own tablets, and share other educational devices we own, and sometimes the sounds that emanate from both devices on at the same time can be quite..... annoying- putting it simply. When the sound coming from one of the tablets interferes with the other one, someone makes there's louder and so the volume wars begin. I had to put an ...
The @ClickNKids 2 Tablet Is A Hit This Holiday Season!
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!

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 ...
