No matter how much or how little weight you gained during pregnancy, the post-partum body still has some work to do before returning to it's original shape. After you have your baby, you may feel that your abdomen now feels "empty" and rightfully so- for the past 40 weeks you had someone else taking up space in there and now that this little person is out, your belly may feel loose. It's not just your skin that may look different in appearance, ...

Check out the latest technology used in Monopoly!
Monopoly has to be one of the most popular board games out there. I love that there are so many varieties of the same game, with the same basic concept, but personalized to match the theme. We have a few Monopoly games ourselves, such as the original and the JETS version. It is a very competitive and fun game to play with friends and family, and perfect for rainy days indoors this summer! The people over at Monopoly have kicked it up a notch and ...
Trying Something Different with Blue Diamond Almonds (#Giveaway!) 3 winners!
I'm not sure why, but I've been on an almond kick ever since I gave birth to my baby girl 2 months ago. I add almonds to just about everything- yogurt, cereal, ice cream, green beans, and chicken- yes, chicken: ever try almond crusted chicken? YUM!

Don’t Strain Your Back While Feeding Your Baby! JJ Cole Collections Nursing Pillow Giveaway! #jjcoleusa
There are so many baby items you can't live without, and others you can do without. A nursing pillow is definitely one of those must have items, whether you choose to breastfeed or not. I didn't realize how essential a nursing pillow would be until I had a c-section. Holding my baby was a challenge, and nursing her was even more difficult. Having a structured nursing pillow, not just a regular pillow, helped support my baby while I held her, and ...
Hot Summer Toys: Fisher Price Little People Lil’ Fixer Ride On
My little nephew is such a man when it comes to toys. Everything has to be cars, trains, or sports. It is amazing to see the difference between him and my toddler princess, who loves pink, dolls, and tutus. Not that my little girl is opposed to playing with "boyish" toys, but she prefers toys that you can dress up rather than take apart. When I had both toddlers over for a playdate, I pulled out the Fisher Price Little People Lil' Fixer Ride On ...

Christmas in July: Peace of Mind with VTech Safe & Sound Full Color Video and Audio Monitor #Giveaway ERV $150! #ChristmasInJulyHop
When I was pregnant with my second baby, I tried to get as much done as I possibly could because I felt that I would never have time to do anything again. This included spending as much time as I could with my toddler, organizing the house, and getting my work done. I felt that after our new arrival was home, everything would come to a halt- I wouldn't have time to wash the dishes (not that I would want to) laundry would pile up (not that I ...
