I'm notorious in my family for forgetting to give a greeting card. Birthdays, Holidays, you name it- all those card-worthy events... you will be lucky if you see a card from me. I tried to change this all around about two years ago. I was introduced to Cardstore where I could order just one card or a bunch of cards for the various events going on. Picture this: we had 5 birthdays, 3 baptisms, 2 bridal showers, 2 weddings, and 3 baby showers to ...

Renting a Stroller When Visiting Disney World
I've overcome another hurdle in parenting - traveling with kids! For the holidays, I planned a special trip for my girls to the most magical place, Disney World. I didn't know what to expect from my girls as far as temperament, but this was a great opportunity to find out! It was also a great way to learn from our experiences and plan for the next vacations we will take as a family. One of the best things I did for Disney was rent a ...

MinuteClinic in CVS Now Offers More Services! #MC #sponsored
Getting a doctor's appointment these past few months has been nearly impossible. My doctor and my kids' pediatrician will not see us unless someone is sick, and if we are sick, there is an incredibly long wait for an appointment. This just doesn't work for my schedule, and I've been finding other ways to get a professional opinion when it comes to my health. I started noticing MinuteClinic popping up here and there a few years ago. Since then, ...
Tortle now available at target! + a Tortle #Giveaway!
When I had my first baby, I remember her pediatrician specifically stating that although it was best to have baby on her back for sleeping, it was just as important to lay her on her side to prevent flat head syndrome. Being that babies heads are so soft during birth, it is not uncommon to develop flat spots from laying down in certain positions too long. To prevent flat head syndrome, which is so common, 1 out of every 2 babies develop it, the ...
Moving on up with Bumbo! (Booster Seat #Giveaway)
My little girls are growing up too quickly and while they both love being independent, sometimes they need some help. When it comes time for meals, they gather around the table and kneel on their seats to reach, but even my 19 month old won't entertain a high chair at this point. Getting them to sit safely at the table is near impossible, but when they laid their eyes on the Bumbo booster seat I received for review, they actually fought over it. ...
Clean Eating with Good Food Made Simple #EatClean @GFMSimple
We really don't use convenience foods in my home with the exception of pastas and snacks. When I do use convenience foods, ingredients are key to what I purchase and will allow my family to eat. There are a few no-no ingredients that aren't allowed in my home, including preservatives, high fructose corn syrup, food dyes, artificial flavors, and additives. It can be difficult to stay away from some things, especially when it comes to sweet treats, ...
