“This post was sponsored by CYBEX as part of a Blog Blast Activation for Influence Central.” Since I’m all about sharing with you the latest and greatest, I would be remiss if I didn’t share with you that a good brand, one that many parents are purchasing these days, can now be found at Buy…
It’s FINALLY shorts season here in Michigan (at least on occasion) and the first time I slipped on a pair of shorts, I noticed just one thing. My super dry, scaly winter skin! It needed more than just a bit of lotion, so my daughter and I headed to the kitchen to make our own…
I cannot even believe it’s already been five months since we brought our sweet girl home from the hospital. Mother’s Day made me think about so many of the blessings of being a momma to my two little ones, and I started looking back at pictures and memories of the past few months and all…
It’s backpack time! No, not quite back-to-school, but if your kids are anything like mine, their backpacks are sporting spilled lunches, unidentifiable stains and possibly rips and holes. After being thrown on the bus floor, left in snow piles and tripped over countless times, our backpacks have seen better days. So I’m loving the idea of…
The warmer weather has been absolutely fabulous here lately, as it has allowed us to spend a lot of time outside. But I’m always amazed at how much “outside” comes back inside with us! I’m definitely finding myself sweeping and vacuuming a lot more lately. One thing I like to do when vacuuming is sprinkle…
Have you ever tried to put earbud headphones in a toddler’s ears? It basically doesn’t work. They fall every 2.4 seconds. Most headphones are designed to fit an adult head.

I can’t claim any Hispanic heritage, but there is a heavy Hispanic population where I live. My neighbors actually had a LIVE Mariachi band in their backyard one night! It was a bit random for a girl who grew up in the Midwest, but we loved it! HERE is a video. We shamelessly enjoyed the party…
Last week I shared with some tips for taking a successful road trip with your kids. This was inspired by a short trip I had just taken with my kids that actually took us past some places we had just traveled to last year when my baby was only 3 months old. While traveling down…
I know, I know. Life is totally busy. If you are anything like me, I have thought about gifts for about two weeks, YET I still haven’t pulled the trigger on what I want to purchase for the mothers in our life. So, as I do, I have put together a post of some great Mother’s Day…
My husband and I are complete opposites in some ways! This can sure make life interesting in some aspects, but it also gives balance to many areas of life. I won’t go into all the details now, but one of our biggest differences is our organizational systems. To say it simply, he organizes everything, in…
Having another baby and it being your 3rd and not having anything, sort of makes getting things easy because you can start fresh. Plus, you can get the things you need and pass up all the things you really are not going to use. It was much easier choosing things this time around because I…
