As a parent, I think it is safe to say that our #1 promise to our babies is to keep them safe. It's not just a promise of an action that might happen outside of our home, but a promise that I will keep them safe in our home as well. Safe from products that may potentially cause harm to them either now or in the future. This includes the foods we eat and the products we use. This mindset started when I was just a few months pregnant with my first ...

Shiny, Happy Teeth With Oral-B 7000 #PowerOfDad
I don't think I've ever shared my biggest pet peeve- dirty teeth. I like my teeth to feel clean all day long, even though I know this is a long shot. Eating throughout the day deposits food throughout the teeth and sticky foods like candy can cause build up. Gross! I like to know that when I'm brushing my teeth, I'm getting between as many teeth as I can and my teeth are spotless. Besides, I have a cavity-free mouth and a reputation (with myself) ...
Head Over To #AudioFest at @BestBuy and Check Out the Denon HEOS
If there's one thing that is consistent in my home it is our love for music. From the time we get up in the morning until around dinner time, music plays and fills our home. My girls love waking up to their favorite Disney tunes and I love having an upbeat rhythm to keep me company while I get through the dishes and laundry. While my girls don't really think about the quality of the sound that flows throughout our home, I'm quite picky and can't ...
Back to school picks with Momtrends
I know we aren't even out of July yet but it's not too soon to start thinking of everything your little ones will need for back to school. After a later afternoon mingle with the ladies ofMomTrends, I got to chat with brands about easing into that back to school moment without too much drama. The first item I already use and love- Mabels Labels. I used these when I was a teacher in order to keep track of my items and ensure my stapler would ...
Tiggly Shapes Make Learning Fun! @TigglyKids
Just like the majority of kids their age, my girls are more technologically advanced than I was at their age. They use electronic devices to pass their time on rainy days, learn new things, and just for fun. I do put limits on their screen time, and I also make sure that most of the games they play have some educational component. As a former teacher, I can appreciate the value that technology brings to education, so I'm not opposed to my ...

Never Burn Popcorn Again! @PopSecret #Sponsored
Family nights are becoming more frequent now that my daughters are old enough to sit through a movie. We've enjoyed many of the recent hits like Lego Movie, Pirate Fairy, and Frozen (over and over) and have perfected our movie night routine. We lay out a big fluffy blanket in the living room, pop some Pop Secret popcorn in the microwave, lay out some pillows, and start the movie. Speaking of popcorn- have you ever had that lingering smell ...
Making the Best of Pretend Play
My daughters can be seen toting around Nenuco dolls from time to time. When my youngest daughter was born, we received a Nenuco doll to help my oldest daughter cope with having a little sister while also playing mommy right alongside me. Her interest in baby dolls wasn't quite as strong as my youngest daughter's would be, but we didn't know that until about a year ago. My oldest daughter tossed her Nenuco baby in the toy box, forgetting about ...
