NewAir WCD-100W Triple Tap Water Cooler Review

It's mega hot here in the Houston area, already, and one thing is for we have to stay hydrated!  For a while, we were filling up a gallon jug of water and putting it in the fridge every few hours so that we'd have cold water, but now that we have a NewAir WCD-100W Triple Tap Water Cooler Dispenser for review, we're so thankful to have cold water 100% of the time! My first question with this new kitchen appliance was "Does it have a safety switch for the hot water feature?"  Our Minion gets into EVERYTHING, and the last…

Are you a Cyber Smart Parent? | #MC #CyberTribe #CyberSmart #Sponsored

Disclosure - I participated in an Influencer Activation Program on behalf of Mom Central Consulting for BGCA. I received a promotional item to thank me for my participation. Five years ago, if you'd have asked me about Cyber Safety, I would have told you that kids can be cruel and that I'm 100% prepared to keep my kiddos safe on the web. Do you have what it takes to keep your kids safe online?  Start off by taking this quiz before you read any further.  I aced it, but that's because we're pretty overbearing when it comes to online safety!…

New Innovations in Child Car Safety Seats

Buying a child's safety seat for your family car can seem as complicated as buying a car itself these days, with a variety of high-tech features to pick and choose from. Because safety standards are continually being improved, it's a good idea to purchase a newer model rather than a hand-me-down from even five years ago. The following are a few of the most recent innovations in the child safety seat industry, which are becoming industry standard. Image Source: Jessica Maerz / Flickr ISOFIX ISOFIX is an internationally standardized fitting system, which has been around for over a decade now. All new…

Tummy feeling eewy? Try Gutsy Chewy! | All Natural & Fast Acting

I'm going to just flat out come out and tell the truth.  Little League Baseball season did me in.  Our schedules were crazy, we had lots of late nights, lots of chasing the Minion, and lots of quick, on-the-go foods.  We were doing so well until our lack of time management and meal preparation got the best of us, and we just started eating wrong. So wrong. Again. Gutsy Chewy Facebook | Gutsy Chewy Twitter | Gutsy Chewy YouTube This past month, our family was introduced to a pretty remarkable product that was formulated by a gastroenterologist and (Harvard trained…
