sharing my “gift-giving secret weapon” for those hard to shop for people
Sometimes I forget how easy we have it when shopping for our kids. They are always ready and willing to make a “Wish List” for whatever holiday or occasion is coming up or at least hint at about a hundred things they’d absolutely love or just couldn’t possibly live without! Then there’s everyone else. There’s…
3 tips for staying hydrated this fall
As soon as the weather starts to get cooler, I often find myself trading in my trusty water bottle for a hot cup of coffee, cocoa, or cider (or all three!). At the end of the day I’m wondering why I feel so dehydrated…duh! I’ve hardly drank any water! Do you find yourself in the…

make saving money fun with a 3D coin art puzzle
My husband and I are always looking for creative ways to help teach our kids about money. Sometimes it can be really difficult for young kids to learn the art of saving up for something you want. Let’s face it…our society doesn’t really help when kids hear and see ads for credit cards and “buy…
bring “life to the lunchbox” with little bites and nature’s harvest
Confession :: Between school and soccer practices for three kids, we do a lot of eating on the go. Not “eating out” but more like grabbing sandwiches and snacks to eat in the car or on the sidelines at practice. Not the most well-balanced dinners but I know it’s only for a season. Literally. So,…

enjoy those fall nights with OxyLED lights
My husband made the comment to me over the weekend, I feel like Fall just snuck up on us! It’s getting dark so early! While that does make it a bit easier getting the kids to bed at a decent hour now that school is back in session, those early sunsets are one of my least favorite…

fighting off those fall allergies
Warm days. Cool nights. These late summer days are absolutely heavenly! But then it starts. Slightly at first. Eyes get a little itchy. You find yourself sniffling a little more.

“reporting for duty” with TOMY’s new Zootopia playset
You know your kids love a movie when, after only seeing it one time, they can already name 90% of the characters and are reenacting scenes. That’s how they are with Disney’s Zootopia! If you haven’t already seen Zootopia, I highly recommend seeing it! It’s an adorable animated film that follows a determined bunny named Judy Hopps as…
