I was completely disillusioned about the sleep patterns of babies when I had my first. I thought babies slept- that's what my friend's babies always did when we would get together, but I quickly learned I was wrong. Apparently all those well wishers who told me to sleep as much as I can before baby came along were right. I get it now- babies sleep when you want them to be awake and visit with family, and they are awake when you want to take a ...

Send a Teleflora Bouquet and Score NBA tickets! Plus a chance to win a bouquet! #Giveaway
With Super Bowl Sunday just around the corner, it's time to start thinking of Valentine's Day. Each year my hubby and I do something different. We aren't consistent and anything goes.. the hearts, the flowers, the candy.. and of course my typically belated card. Yes, I always forget the card (I didn't forget it this year!) My hubby use to always buy me flowers "just because" and now they have turned into a special occasion delight. One ...
I WILL NOT forget the card this time! #OkayToCry #MC #Sponsored
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 ...
