A great night’s sleep is important not only to a better day, but it is also a significant ingredient in a healthy life. Of course, this is what we want for ourselves and for our children. Yet, if your kids aren’t getting the sleep that they need, odds are you aren’t getting the 40 winks…
It’s been crazy HOT where I live in California. I suppose I’m thankful I don’t live near Death Valley where they are predicting a high of 127 degrees this week. We’ve been running our A/C constantly. I feel like our air gets so dry and fake when we can’t open the windows. I don’t know…
Sometimes summer gets me a little off schedule. During the school year, we stick to a pretty tight schedule. Kids activities keep us busy so I do my best to meal plan in advance and we eat when it works for the whole family to make it happen. In the summer, I let things slide….
I really can’t get enough of these summer days! We are enjoying everything about them, even the heat! We enjoyed watching thunderstorms out the window yesterday, and then had a blast playing in the puddles when the sun came back out. There’s something about seeing these litte things through the eyes of a child that brings…
School has just ended and we are already thinking about back to school. You know why? It will be here before we know it. And I love that the schools send the next years supply list in their backpack on the last day of school. Why not start now with all the supplies you…
This post is in partnership with Universal Pictures. Despicable Me 3 will be in theaters June 30th! When the first movie came out, I will admit I wasn’t to fond of it and didn’t think I would be watching it. But I have turned a corner because of my kids and have watched them. Not…
Hello summer! The time of year when the days are long, frequently hot, full of activities, and the children must be kept busy until later bedtimes. With exhausted kids who cannot fall asleep while the sun is still blazing we really like to encourage reading time for the kids before bed. Not only are they…
Ready your brooms and vacuums; the spring cleaning season is here! Now that the winter has passed, it’s time to embrace the refreshing season of spring and refresh your home environment as well. While spring cleaning is not for everyone, no one can deny how important it is to perform this activity each year. The…
Recently, I have been getting some symptoms of what I think is acid reflux. Now, I have never had this before, until I had my 3rd child. I had it off and on throughout that pregnancy. I thought it would go away afterwards, but it only got worse. The foods you eat affect the amount of…
I think it’s safe to say that most of us find ourselves at Target from time to time. We all have odors in our homes as well. I’m happy to announce the Fresh Pod is coming to a Target near you this month! I have Fresh Wave pods (and odor removing packs) ALL OVER my house. behind…
I’ve been reading for years about the health benefits of tart cherry juice. But, I have to say, have you ever tasted tart cherry juice? It is not like the sweet cherries you buy in the store! It’s sour! I can hide it in smoothies for the kids but there is no way they’re going to…
Say ‘Thanks dad!’ with some steak. Father’s Day is right around the corner and do you have anything special up your sleeve to celebrate the father and dads in your life? Whether it be your husband or your dad, they deserve something special just like you did on Mother’s day! Don’t give dad another boring…
