Our #aSIMPLEchristmas event is in full swing! I hope you are ready for some amazing giveaways in the next few weeks. While we are introducing new products and companies, we are also working with our favorite companies too. MINTED has been my go-to site to order Christmas cards the past few years. They have so many unique…
Earlier this week I posted about our trip to Disneyland. If you missed it, HERE it is. I briefly touched on our use of the Ridmax app. RideMax is a planning tool designed to help you spend less time in line at Disneyland® and Walt Disney World.® I’m a planner and I wanted to make…
If you follow our Instagram page, you probably saw me over-posting 🙂 {I’ll own that} about our trip to Disneyland and California Adventure a few weeks ago. We saved for 4 years and it was worth every penny! Like most average American families, we don’t have a lot of extra funds. While we would LOVE to visit…
Now that we have Halloween behind us, it’s time to start mental noting cool toys as we start our holiday shopping. Fright Factory by Tech4Kids makes my list of gifts I would buy for a birthday or Christmas gift. It’s fun for boys or girls! Did you see our FB LIVE video a few weeks…
I know, it’s still the fall and I’m talking about Christmas cards, but we all know how the holiday season comes up quickly and our calendars get very full. Did you read Gina’s post of tips to have a sane holiday season? It’s time to start the ball rolling if you plan to send a…
Do you have Halloween parties you are planning snacks for this week? School parties and you need to send in a treat? Maybe you are looking for a healthy alternative to pass out to kids on Halloween? Pirate’s Booty has Halloween packages and the 1/2 oz. size is a perfect treat. Our kids have been enjoying…
I take a crazy number of videos and photos. Since I can’t put my kids in a bottle and stop time, I love to capture our daily moments in digital footage. In the past few years I have been turning the extra special days into video collages. I have a playlist for each month of the year on…
Majority of us are not accomplished in Photoshop or trained in graphic design. In another life, I would go back to school and enjoy a degree in graphic design, but I don’t foresee that happening. In the meantime, I’ve been designing with fotojet.com. It’s a FREE* online photo editor website and there are so many…
Have you heard of Animal Jam toys or the app? I hadn’t heard of either until I embarked on this review. If you have kids that like Shopkins or other such collectible toys, you will want to check out the Animal Jam characters. Any animal loving child will adore these cute toys. Let me back up….
I was thinking today about all the different stinks I have smelled in life. Of course kids produce a lot of obnoxious smells, but my favorite smelly story goes back to the 90’s. Get comfortable, it’s stinky story time! {I feel like I need a jingle to go with that last sentence.} My childhood home…
There are a lot of really nice posts about loving your mom body. I am the first to agree that we shouldn’t miss out on life because of our perceived body issues. While I read those posts and I find encouragement….this is not that kind of post. I’ll be transparently vain and admit that I…
We arrrrrr super in love with Pirate’s Booty. It’s a healthy snack that satisfies our need for something salty to munch on. When the kids get home from school and whine – I mean ask politely – for a snack, I am happy to let them grab a bag of pirate’s booty. It won’t spoil their dinner. They…
