Summer may be winding down, but did you know that you should protect your skin with sunscreen all year round? I’m a broken record on this topic, but I had melanoma skin cancer in 2013 and sunscreen is now part of my daily life – 365 days a year. I like to wear NO-AD sunscreen…
Our family was very excited to check out this new show. It’s been our tradition for years to go to the circus right before school starts. It’s a fun way to round out our summer activities. The circus closed so we were looking for a new family event. Our oldest two children turn 10 and…
How does summer go so fast? We’ve enjoyed pool days, our summer vacation to my parent’s cottage, and lots of play dates with friends. While we do have a few more weeks left on our break, it is time to start planning ahead for school supplies. As a kid, my favorite part of going back…
We live in California, but we visit family in Michigan during the summer. Since we were about 6 hours away, we decided to take a side trip down to Kentucky to see the Ark Encounter. I did some research and bugged a few friends that have already been to the Ark. I figured out our…
Series 4 Surprizamals have hit the shelves. They are as cute as ever. These plush friends are often included in our backpacks when we travel. The kids love to open them on the plane. They are also fun for a birthday party favor. I also like to keep a few Surprizamals in my “gift…
Marvel Universe LIVE is new to me, but I have 3 kids that love all things super hero related. We are super geeked to see the Age of Heroes show when it comes to our town next month. Take a look at the video below. Don’t watch with your kids lurking over your shoulder or…
I’m terrible about eating breakfast. Does my morning coffee count as breakfast? I NEVER skip that. I often grab a protein bar on the way to the gym in the morning. The kids are always begging for a bite. The crunchy peanut butter Zone Perfect bars are my go-to flavor. I was excited to see…
Last month I flew from California to Michigan to attend my baby brother’s wedding. The older kids were still in school so it was just me and my Charlie. He was quite the handsome ring bearer, but I am biased. We have a little tradition where I get the kids something new to open in-flight….
The kids have been home for summer break for a few weeks now. They are so done with sandwiches after an entire school year of sack lunches. In the summer we can branch out a bit more with our lunches. We’ve been spicing up our routine with Red’s Burritos for lunch OR we will have…
It’s been crazy HOT where I live in California. I suppose I’m thankful I don’t live near Death Valley where they are predicting a high of 127 degrees this week. We’ve been running our A/C constantly. I feel like our air gets so dry and fake when we can’t open the windows. I don’t know…
I think it’s safe to say that most of us find ourselves at Target from time to time. We all have odors in our homes as well. I’m happy to announce the Fresh Pod is coming to a Target near you this month! I have Fresh Wave pods (and odor removing packs) ALL OVER my house. behind…
I love to decorate our home, but I’m not too fond of crafts. That being said, ANYONE can do this DIY project. You can use this wreath tutorial to make a wreath of any size. If you have a large space to fill, this is a very inexpensive way to add to your décor. SUPPLIES…
