This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Waterpik. Dental health is so incredibly important. I mean, I really don’t even have to say that. We all know that. However, in the life of a busy parent, holy man is it hard to put that as a priority every single time we…
I am a water drinker. I drink it all day when I am at work (along with my requisite coffee, of course) and it is my dinnertime staple. I love water. I know, it sounds weird. But it’s true. I love water. Now don’t get me wrong. I also love Cherry Coke, Sprite and even an…
If you have been around SIMPLE very long you know how scrupulous I am about the food I feed my family. I want to know *every* ingredient. I want to be able to pronounce *every* ingredient. I want to know the food I am feeding my family isn’t full of toxic GMO’s, hormone altering…

A few months ago, I had the opportunity to review Kristin McGee‘s Prenatal Yoga and Pilates DVD. You can view how wonderful that workout is HERE. After working through her prenatal DVD, I was so impressed that I wanted to see how her other workouts compared. The past couple months I have been faithfully working through…
My kids love to brush their teeth, which is great! They are kind of picky about the toothpaste though. As a mom, I feel hygiene and health is VERY important to teach at a young age, whether they accept it or not, that’s a different story. I do think that routine is a perfect…
