We love fruit here. We also love smoothies. What I don't love is going to make one and finding out everyone ate all my fruit. It never fails. I've found a trick around that though. i still buy loads and loads of fresh fruits for the boys and I to eat all week but now I keep a stash of Dole Frozen Fruit Bags in my freezer so I always have fruit on hand whenever I want one and I can cut back the ice … [Read more...]
Celebrate Lance Snack’s 100th Birthday #spon
Birthday's are important here, especially milestone birthday's. I love making the parties I throw unique even though I'm often choosing classic themes you can find in any store. I like to make things that coordinate into the theme and make the party I'm throwing different from everyone else's. It doesn't have to cost a lot but in the end those DIY projects aren't only my favorite parts of the … [Read more...]
He Won’t Sit Still!!! Thank Goodness for Huggies Slip-Ons! #firstfit
My little guy isn't a baby anymore. He's a toddler. I keep trying to deny it because he'll always be my baby. Then I see pictures like this and I see the little man he is growing into and he's clearly a big boy. While he loves his mama and won't let me be far from reach- he prefers to be down and exploring. He doesn't want to be held down and he certainly doesn't want to have to slow … [Read more...]
The Zen Swaddle for Baby {Review & Giveaway}
I was so impressed with the Zen Swaddle™ by Nested Bean. It is designed to give your baby the sensation that they are being held. The blanket is lightly weighted in three spots. One spot is a cute little bird on the top where their chest is and two spots on the sides. The lightly weighted areas are to give the feeling where your hands would be when you are snuggling your sweet baby. It is also … [Read more...]
Keep Clean with LYSOL Power & Free! #PowerandFree
I'm so glad that winter is behind us. I'm so sick of being cold and lock in doors. I'm so happy to finally be able to crack open the windows and start cleaning. I know that sounds crazy but in the spring I always get that urge to purge and it's great! I always start with the closets in the house and toss out lots of expired items. I do this through my kitchen and and my bathrooms. I also take this … [Read more...]

Farberware 3-Piece Open Skillet Set {Review & Giveaway}
I love to cook and bake. There is something so therapeutic about trying out a new recipe, and tasting as you go along; adding a little of this and that to eventually have a delicious end result. (Especially if the end result includes chocolate!) Or cooking and eating that meal you have had a million times, but there is something so comforting about it you make it over and over. Mmmmm... Yes I … [Read more...]
Buddy and The Nature Trackers from Readers Digest Children’s Books {Review & Giveaway}
My 4 year old son, Hayden, is busy. Super busy and super smart. He loves imagining and pretending. I am often not "mommy," but a robot, super spy, or a train conductor. His favorite new thing to be is a "master of disguise." I love it; I love that he is using his brain and being so creative. It is difficult sometimes finding things to keep his brain going though, and encouraging him to learn … [Read more...]
