Pump it Up has a great vision called, Save Childhood, Support Imagination. Kids need exercise to accompany their imaginations. Check to see if there is a location near you. We had a great time at our local Pump it Up. We visited one other time for a friend’s birthday party. I was excited to learn about…
I grew up with four brothers. I’ve always been outnumbered by boys. Having a girl has opened up a brand new, wonderful world for me. It’s the phenomenon of hair accessories. I firmly believe you can’t have too many hair accessories. Andrea’s Beau is a great place to build your collection of hair items….
“I participated in a campaign on behalf of Mom Central Consulting for CaringBridge. I received a promotional item as a thank you for participating.” Have you heard of CaringBridge? I know it all too well. My pastor has lymphoma cancer. CaringBridge was a great resource to let everyone know how he was (and is) doing…
This is a rather personal post, but I was diagnosed with melanoma skin cancer recently and I want to spread awareness. According to the American Academy of Dermatology, 1/3 of people diagnosed with this most deadly form of skin cancer are women in their child bearing years. How many of you are in that category? I…
I love baby bottles. I’m a bit OCD and will even match the bottle to whatever outfit my baby is wearing. I know, I might have a problem. The Pura bottles caught my eye initially because they are super sleek and stylish. Before you think I’m too shallow, I do want a bottle that functions…
We just got back from our annual summer trip to Michigan to see my family. I had to chuckle that I used to be a bit nervous to fly with one kid. We flew with 3 kids for the first time, and it went great. I am adding steri-bottles to my bag of tricks for…
We like to incorporate this monkey bread recipe into most of our holidays. It’s a Christmas, Easter, and 4th of July tradition. It’s so gooey and perfectly sweet that it doesn’t even need butter or cream cheese frosting. You will need to assemble it the night before so it can rise. When you rise the…
I am a big fan of double shot espresso’s and coca cola. While those lovely caffeinated beverages get me through my day, they don’t make my teeth look very nice. I have somewhat sensitive teeth as well. Not all teeth whitening kits have worked for me. I was happy to try out the Rembrandt line…

Not every person can breastfeed and there are even some that just plain don’t want to do it. Whatever category you fall in, there is a good chance you are using bottles at some point in the first year of your baby’s life. I’d like to think of myself as biberón feeding expert. I’m on bottle…
It’s hard to believe it’s been almost 8 weeks since we met our Charlie. I’ve been on “maternity leave’” from The Simple Moms, but I’m phasing back in. I’ll be starting out with some great bottle reviews too! Stay tuned. We met Charlie on April 19th, 2013. I was miserably pregnant with him for the last…
I can’t get enough of this Etsy shop, Bedeckle, and the owner keeps adding new and cute items. She is a very talented mom of 4 little ones that burns the midnight oil making fabulous accessories. This isn’t the first time I’ve featured this shop, and since my headband review she has added infinity scarves,…
