Kids love to say that they’re bored, don’t they? It’s normal for kids to do this - after all, once they’ve started school, they’re used to somebody telling them what to do all day long. It’s natural for them to expect you to tell them what to do the right of the time. While you should encourage your kids to make up their own games and come up with things they’d like to do, it won’t hurt to have a few tricks up your sleeve for when the situation ...

A Playmobil Set That’s Out of this World!
Disclosure: Product provided for review. All opinions are our own. All of a sudden my little guy is obsessed with all things outer space. I can't remember how this obsession started, but we are now swimming in all things outer space. He can even tell us all the planets based on what they look like, and I think that's pretty impressive because even after a year of astronomy classes I can't do that! It was only fitting that when Playmobil ...
Once Again, We Have To Start Thinking of School Lunches
Disclosure: This post was brought to you by Once Again Nut Butter and Moms Meet. All opinions and experiences are my own. Yes, the time has come to start thinking about back to school, having all the supplies our kids need, and the million-dollar question- WHAT SHOULD I PACK MY KIDS FOR LUNCH. My oldest and youngest are great on the go eaters and have a variety of options when it comes to packing school lunches. My middle child, on the other ...
Unplugging with A&W
Disclosure- this post was brought to you by A&W. All opinions are my own. Getting the whole family to unplug from their devices for just an hour this summer has turned into a huge feat. We are all so spoiled by having the answer to any question in the palm of our hands, being entertained on a whim, and having the ability to communicate with everyone at our fingertips. It was getting out of hand and I felt like my family was watching the ...
Worry Free Ladies Night Out
Getting together for a ladies night out after having kids is quite a challenge. I'm sure you've seen memes circling the internet about planning a girl's night out and then not being able to find a date where everyone is available and has a babysitter until months later. I'm fortunate to have a group of ladies I love and adore, and we plan such events. The more kids we had between us, the more challenging it was to find a date that worked with all ...
It’s Not Spring Without Butterflies!
When my second daughter was born in early May, 7 years ago, I was greeted by dozens of butterflies in our yard the day we brought her home. Somehow, a butterfly ended up in the house and I was too afraid I would hurt it, so it lingered until I was able to coax it out of a window. Ironically, it happened again a few days later. I felt a strong connection to her birth and butterflies, and nicknamed her my little butterfly. She likes to tell the ...
Zuru Makes Balloon Blowing a Cinch!
Disclosure: Product was provided for inclusion. All opinions and experiences are my own I’ve been so bad about getting balloons for our birthday parties lately. I used to get a helium tank and blow them up myself, but that became very pricey and the tank never seemed to fill up as many as the tank indicated. Then I got into the habit of asking my husband to pick up balloons right before our parties, but at some point we just stopped getting ...
Making Summer Nights Last a Little Longer with Cinemood
Disclosure: Cinemood provided our family with a unit in exchange for our opnion. All experiences are my own and results may vary from yours. All winter long we look forward to the warm summer nights spent with friends and family. There’s something about ditching the bedtime routine and being surrounded by good company with the familiar scent of BBQ, citronella, and summer. The kids and adults seem to not want the long evenings to end, so we’ve ...
