Parenthood is an exciting, challenging journey, and some companies are with you every step of the way. There are no perfect parents, just real ones. Moms always want whats best for their baby, as I do for my kids. There are so many products on the market these days, you just have to decide what…

townley girl :: despicable me 3 :: gift idea :: giveaway
We saw Despicable Me 3 this summer and it was a memorable way to spend a rainy afternoon. This post isn’t a movie review, but I’ll add that we enjoyed it. I read recently that it was one of the quietest box office hits that brought in over $900 million. Apparently others enjoyed it too….
beyond basic building blocks :: teaching kids architecture through STEAM play
My kids love to build. Most days this summer, some type of building block is out before we’ve even started breakfast. But I’ve noticed that my older kids need a little more than the magnetic blocks or legos that my 4-year-old uses. They like to be extremely creative and enjoy pieces with different shapes and…
new refreshing fragrances from softsoap
Sometimes the only few minutes a momma can find to herself is a quick shower in the morning!

children’s gifts shelf ideas from sleeping bear press
Does anyone else have a gift shelf/cupboard/box/etc. on hand at home? I grew up with my mom and grandma each having a random drawer of items for giving as gifts when they forgot a birthday or had an unexpected event come up. While I don’t have quite the same supply as either of them I…

fresh wave :: back to school teacher gift :: giveaway
The days of summer are dwindling and it won’t be long before we send our stinky kids off to school. I am quite thankful for the teachers that invest their lives and time into my mini me’s. It takes a special person to close themselves into a room with 20 children each day. I know…
science with stuff :: scientific books just got much more exciting
Thankfully, we are a family that loves to read. But, just like their mom, my kids are picky about their book choices. One leans toward realistic fiction, one likes fantasy and one is totally into super heroes. Nonfiction is not always high on their list. But I’ve found a series of nonfiction books from Downtown Bookworks…

Anyone have any Thomas the Train fans at home? We have two little ones who can’t get enough of Thomas, Percy, and James! They love to sing about Thomas, play with Thomas trains, watch Thomas shows, and more! We had the opportunity to attend Day Out With Thomas recently and my kids had the best…
