The Oscar nominations were announced this morning and I was shocked to hear that my toddler did not make it on the list! The Walt Disney Studios, on the other hand, earned 17 nominations! How awesome is that? Lincoln received 12 whopping nominations, including Best Picture. It is also the most nominated film of the year! Brave, Frankenweenie, Wreck-It Ralph, Paperman and Marvel’s The Avengers each received a ...

Awesome Prices for Kid’s Clothing at The Children’s Place!
We all know how quickly kids grow, and finding reasonably priced clothing is a must! My daughter has easily changed three sizes in the past year, and her clothes look new, mostly because she only wore them a few times before she grew into the next size! Thankfully, I have another little girl that will be receiving LOTS of hand me downs from her big sister. I mainly shop at The Children's Place. I love that they always have some discount on ...
Take a Time Out With #SolitaireDeluxe and Enter to Win a Clarasonic Plus! {Giveaway}
I rarely have ANY personal time to do anything for myself, sometimes including taking a shower. Sometimes I just want to tune out the world, if even only for 5 minutes. I have downloaded many apps on my phone, but the majority is for productivity or games for my toddler. It's nice to download something for myself AND have the time to play it! My favorite types of games are card games. I love that there are so many different types of card ...
Baby Wearing with Hotslings!
Baby wearing is a must when you have more than one child! I have a few baby carriers that I wear depending on what I am doing. When my infant doesn't feel well, I wear a soft baby carrier to keep her close and snuggled on me. When we are shopping or walking around the city, I wear a bigger carrier that provides comfortable shoulder straps. Recently, I saw a mother sporting a sling that only went across half her body as her baby lounged on her ...
Living with a Princess? Win a Gift Certificate from @OnlyPrincesses {Giveaway}
There is a little princess living in my house. She loves anything pink (specifically light pink) and you can find her at any given time sporting a tutu, princess dress, crown, and sparkly shoes. If you told me 4 years ago that this would be my child, I would have laughed at you! I don't know where she learned her princess ways, but it surely was not from me! Luckily, she has a cousin who is close in age and loves the same things, so they often ...
A Fresh Start With #CascadeComplete Pacs!
I want a dishwasher. Everyone that walks into my home hears the same story, and even worse, when I am entertaining a lot of people, they hear my complaints about hand washing EVERYTHING. Then I have to listen to their less than comforting responses: dishwashers aren't that great, I have to wash everything twice. They leave a film behind. Liars. You are all liars. Because when I go to my brother's house, his dishes are spotless. There is no film ...

New Mom at the Birthday Party
One thing I've always loved about going to birthday parties with my kids was seeing friends, husbands, and siblings. I have a group of friends I had known since my oldest was 9 months old, and a newer group with the Preschool my boys had been attending for 2 years. It was fun. I always looked forward to parties. Now I'm in a new neighborhood and a my kids are in a new school. Yes, I've met some people, had a few play dates, but I still don't ...
