This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Boost Mobile for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine. Uploaded with Skitch! I love my smart phone, but I really don't like that I'm stuck in a contract. Oh, and the $150 bill each month for a family plan isn't going over too well with my budget either, so it's time to start thinking of better ways to obtain cell phone service. I mainly use my cell phone for texting, ...

Meet the Winx Club!
Last week my toddler had an awesome opportunity: she was transformed into a fairy! The people over at JAKKS Pacific invited her to check out their new line of dolls, get pampered a little, and dress up like one of the Winx Club Fairies! She had an awesome time doing grown up things, such as painter her nails and putting on makeup. She was then able to pick out an outfit to complete her transformation, and head over to the music station where she ...
Beating Infant Boredom with a Play Gym!
My baby girl is shedding her newborn-like features and is transforming into an infant that is much more alert and active. She looks so much like her daddy when she sleeps, but when she's awake, she's ALL mommy. She even has a personality trait that will mean big trouble for me when she is older: she gets bored very easily. She's already exploring toys that have bright colors and textures, and music always grabs her attention. The swing just isn't ...

It’s Tea Time! #CadburyHighTea
My toddler got her first tea set for her birthday last year and has always loved having tea parties. Her first tea party was when she was about a year and a half. Her cousin, who is a year older than her, set up their play table with a tea set and instructed my then 18 month old how to sit and drink tea. It was the most adorable setting ever, as it was the first of many things her older cousin would teach her. So, when Cadbury asked me to host a ...
Sleep Training a Toddler=SUCCESS!
Let me preface this by saying the Ferber method of sleep training is not for everyone. It wasn't for us, and the only reason we even attempted it when my oldest was 15 months was because our pediatrician urged us that it was the only way. I became so frustrated with him over our differences in sleep training because our thoughts on feeding and vaccinating children were the same, and I couldn't believe how different we viewed the "sleeping" ...
