It's official! The summer is over and back to school season is about to start next week. You've shopped for the youngest members of your family and made sure they were fully prepared for the new school year, but don't forget your pets. No, they aren't going to school, but they can still pick up fleas, ticks, and other bloodsuckers well into the fall season. Although my cat never made the move with me and ended up staying at my mom's house, I ...

Looking for a Compact Car? Check Out the 2013 #KiaRio! #DriveSTI
I've always been a compact car kinda girl, especially living in NYC. Parking is just easier when you have a smaller car, and it's also easier to get in and out of traffic with a compact car. Since having kids, however, I've had to trade in my compact car for a more baby-gear-friendly vehicle that can accommodate our ever growing need for space. My husband still drives a compact car and doesn't wish to upgrade to a bigger car any time soon. He ...
Big Sand Breakfast by HABA
6:30am......”Mommy, is it morning????”. My 4 year-old is always happy to get out of bed when we have an exciting day ahead of us. If it was a school day I'd be dragging him out of bed at 7:15 while he insists that he's still tired and needs to rest more. But today we're going to the beach with my in-laws who had just arrived from Italy the night before. We're new to the neighborhood so we're still getting our bearings. And thankfully we have ...

DIY Thank You Cards. Enter To Win an HP Envy 4500 Printer! #HPFamilyTime #sponsored
When it comes to birthday party planning for my kids, I've always taken charge of creating my own invitations and thank you notes. I'm not very crafty or creative, but once we settle on a theme everything else seems to fall in place. For my daughter's 4th birthday, she chose a Hawaiian them, complete with a luau, tikis, and fun pink and line green colors. I designed her 4th birthday party invitations and had them printed, while blank Thank You ...
Spending Time With The Family. $50 Gift Card Giveaway! #sharewhatsgood #sponsored
It's not until you become a parent that you realize all the little moments are really the big moments in life. I realized it when I gave birth to my first child and I barely had a minute to blink and I was already planning her first birthday. Then, after my second baby came along, it really hit me like a ton of bricks. I couldn't remember a lot of things from my first baby through various stages that I was now reliving with our newest member of ...
Check Out Republic Wireless $19/month Cellular Plan!
This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Republic Wireless for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine. With so much technology surrounding our children these days, I've seen a lot of parents question the appropriate age to get a cell phone to their children. My children are still too young, although my oldest will be entering full time school this year. It did cross my mind to get her a cheap mobile phone and teach her to call me ...
The New Taggies Bedding Collection is a Hoot!
My little girls are getting a room makeover and theme change. When I had my first daughter, I kept the theme neutral in her room because I wasn't sure if I would have more than one child sharing a room. Now my oldest is showing preferences for certain characters and styles, but my little one is still a baby - so I get to choose a style for her! I've thought about various themes, and the two that stuck out the most were butterflies and owls. I've ...
