Tis the season to be jolly. But for many people it’s also the season for un-ending errands and parties and feeling like you have to go-go-go all the time. Just thinking about an over-crowded schedule stresses me out! When I get stressed, I feel it first in my shoulders. It gets tight and I find myself…

capture time with stone prints :: review
I have to laugh at those diaper commercials on tv that show what a mom’s life is like with the first child versus what life is like when child #2 or #3 comes along. Because it’s like they’ve taken a page right out of my life. When that first baby arrives, you do everything by…
get a nomad mini for your smart device :: giveaway
These days it seems that most children have their own smart device. My kids do have a tablet that they play with and learn from. We do a lot of learning apps and books. I wanted to introduce the Nomad Mini 2. The Nomad Mini 2 features dual tips with a smooth retracting mechanism to…
coconut water and more from blue monkey :: review
For the past couple months I have been on a total coconut kick. Drinking coconut water, snacking on dried coconut flakes, mmm… coconutty! It was rather serendipitous when I received a package from Blue Monkey last week with some of their new coconut products to try out and share with our readers. I’ve occasionally seen…

an advanced pregnancy test to see how far along you are :: review #ClearblueConfirmed
This post is part of a sponsorship with BabyCenter and Clearblue. Given the fact that I am 34 weeks pregnant, you may find it funny that I am talking to you today about a pregnancy test. There is no doubt about it, visually, I am quite pregnant! Yet, there are so many others that are…
BISSELL® SpotClean makes my spots disappear, for real :: review {@bissellclean}
As I write this post I am grinning from ear to ear because my carpets are FINALLY clean! If you are anything like me and live a multitasked life with kids running around everywhere, sometimes those “little” spills here and there do not get the attention that’s needed. Soon those “little” spills turn into stains,…
huggies pull-ups® are perfect for your ever growing “big kid” {#pottytrainingpants #ad @pullupsbigkid}
This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Pull-Ups® Training Pants. Potty training is sure a chore, not only for the child, but for us parents too, aren’t I right? I find that it’s something we have to fully devote ALL our emotional energy in to. I don’t believe there is a…
enjoy some “posh play” on this play mat :: review
Every mom has her “go-to” pieces or those items that are considered a MUST have… The Posh Play Mat is definitely one of those items for me! My son and I spent countless hours this year laying outside on our lawn. We loved watching the wind blow through the trees as we gazed up at…
“happy moments sent to your door” with citrus lane :: review
I was so excited when I came home the other day and noticed this cute yellow package on my doorstep. It almost pained me to restrain myself and take a few pictures before opening the box and finding out what goodies were inside! I always love getting new things for my little boy, but I…
perfect home decor with meaning from lou and elle :: review + giveaway {@louandelle1}
Do you have a father who has just about everything he needs? How about a dad that says he doesn’t “need” anything? I do. So, when I’m on the hunt for something good for him, it either has to have serious meaning or has to be something he specifically requested, in order to make me…
