Find Family Friendly Vacations Spots in New Jersey #NJStrong #ad

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of New Jersey’s Division of Travel & Tourism for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine. I love when the warm air hits because that means we can start planning our annual summer vacation. I've found that for the last six years or so we've just been rotating the same two places. This year my kids made it clear that they want something new. I … [Read more...]

Celebrate your #DoveAllStarDad with Dove Men+Care available at Target

My husband is truly a all-star dad.  My kids are so lucky to call him their daddy.  He is such a kid at heart and is the best at playing pretend.  He makes a really realistic ninja, train conductor, dinosaur, or any other silly character for Hayden's … [Read more...]

Find the Perfect Dog Breed for Your Family with the American Kennel Club #predictablepurebreds

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of American Kennel Club for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine. It's not a secret that I was against owning a dog from the start. I wanted nothing to do with having a pet and I didn't need any new responsibilities as I was already 8 months pregnant with my third son. My kids were persistant and they were smart and begged their father to the … [Read more...]

Make A No-Sew Fabric Garland {Easter Themed}

I've been dying to get more crafty around here lately. You'd never know from this blog that I have a room dedicated to crafting. I love being able to make something and use it in my home of gift it. Lately I've been seeing a lot of cute garlands being sold that I know I could make myself and figured I'd finally give it a try.

Perrigo Nutritionals Products and Say Goodbye to Survival Mode Book {Review & #Giveaway}

Halli just turned one last month.  I can't believe how fast the year flew by.  Going from one kid to two kids was a harder adjustment for us than I expected it to be.  I also forgot how expensive babies are!  Diapers, wipes, clothes, baby food, it all adds up so quickly.  I like to be able to save a little bit of money where ever I can, so I was really excited when Perrigo Nurtionals asked me to … [Read more...]

P&G Best for Me with these Great Beauty Essentials! Plus, P&G Prize Pack #Giveaway #PGBestForMe

The past year I've really tried to step it up when it comes to how I present myself. Before I was completely fine with pretty much rolling out of bed and putting anything on that matched. The only beauty routine I had consisted of brushing my hair and teeth. I've found that when I take the time to look better - I feel better. Many of the brands that help me get there are from P&G. From … [Read more...]

There’s so much to do in Gulf Coast, Florida! See how to win a trip there now! #GCFLnofilter

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Gulf County, Florida for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine. I love Florida. Half my family lives in the Daytona area and I've always dreamed of living there. Then a few years back our friends got married on the Gulf Coast and we had the pleasure of attending. It was warm, beautiful, and it was just everything I wanted and so much more. I … [Read more...]

All thoughts and ideas are my own, including the Ultimate Loaded Peanut Butter Cookies Recipe. I have so much fun celebrating Easter every year. While I know the meaning of Easter isn't coloring eggs and sitting on laps of rabbits I do enjoy that side of the … [Read more...]

#PowerToKids with Philips Sonicare for Kids Toothbrush {Review}

I have really independent kiddos.  Hayden is five and especially insists on doing daily tasks on his own.  There are some things I know he is more than capable of handling on his own.  He can get dressed by himself, make his bed, and pick up his room without any help.  Brushing his teeth was a task we were at a crossroads.  He was so certain he could brush his teeth on his own but I was a little … [Read more...]
