My preschooler is learning to count to higher numbers and trying to grasp the concept of hundreds, thousands, millions, and billions. She tells me there are a billion students in her school. While it may seem like she does have a lot of classmates, we all know there aren't a billion. She asks me what a billion looks like and it's hard for me to make her understand at such a young age. "Are there a billion m&ms in the bag, ...

It’s Time for A Big Girl Skin Care Routine with @OlayUS #LuminousGlow
I had a reality check a few months ago while attending a blogger event. There was a skin care boutique featured during the event and I received a skin evaluation. I heard the cosmetologist use terms like wrinkles, uneven tone, and dark circles. I was clearly getting annoyed that she was talking to me about another client and was about to interrupt her when she asked what MY skin care routine was. Oh. She was talking about me this whole time... ...

How do you adjust your child’s routine for daylight savings? #SleepWeek #MC #sponsored
If bed time with your kids becomes a 3 ring circus, then we have something in common. Yes, I've established a routine. Yes, I explain my expectations.

And it gets better for a few weeks and then something happens: a vacation, holiday, special weekend, and our sleep schedule gets messed up again.

Check Out Best Buy’s AudioFest this Month! #AudioFest @BestBuy @BestBuyWOLF
I've always loved music and generally have something playing in the background most of the time. I remember having CDs I would play in my room as a teen, which turned into mp3s playing on my iPod through earphones. I loved that I always had a variety of music at my fingertips, but the day I got an iPhone my world of music had changed as I knew it. I was able to download music streaming apps and customize my playlist to my mood. Bluetooth ...
Swapping Sugar for Splenda. Join the Twitter Party! #SweetSwaps
Sticking to typical New Years resolutions canbe tricky... The intent is there but often the will power isn't. I have a sweet tooth whichgetsme into trouble.

Delicious Tzatsiki Dip and Why It Should Be The Next Lays Flavor! #DoUsAFlavor #sponsored
When it comes to get togethers at my place, it seems that everyone gravitates towards the chips and dip. For this reason, I always have some Lays plain chips on hand, and for those that want a little flavor, I kick it up a notch with their Sour Cream & Onion variety. I remember my mom always having plain Lays out when we had guests, so it was only natural that I followed suit! One of my children's favorite meals is a Greek dish, chicken ...
Attempting To Potty Train Before 2! #CelebrateFirstFlush #sponsored #MC
Potty training was always a daunting experience in my mind. How do I get my child to potty train? I had no idea! And even worse, why isn't my child ready to potty train? My oldest daughter was 18 months when we started. She was and still is afraid of everything. So naturally, she was afraid of potty training. She didn't like the feeling of not having diapers, and after a week of trying it was time to throw in the towel and admit it was just too ...
