How To Choose Safe And Enjoyable Toys For Your Children
With savvy advertising, higher safety standards, and endless options, it’s harder than ever to buy toys for our children. Long gone are the days when there were only one or two toy stores to shop at. Now we have online shopping; you can buy toys from almost any country in the world. When the holidays come around, parents will pay extortionate prices to get their child the latest game, doll or gadget. But the fanciest, most expensive toys are not always the best option. You could try these Orbeez balls and, of course, play them with your kids. Be more…

Helping Your Kids Have Great Skin
The care and keeping of your kids’ skin starts at their birth. In those early days, it’s easy to ensure that their skin is properly cared for because you are the one who is solely responsible for their bathing and moisturizing. As they get older, though, and learn to do things themselves, you lose a lot of that control, the only way to stay on top of things is by taking them to a dermatology clinic. This becomes especially problematic during the teen years when their instinct is to do the opposite of everything you suggest. So, how do you…
Keeping Your Baby Safe in a Home With Stairs
When babies suddenly develop the ability to move where they like, their drive to explore and push the limits of their physical abilities can cause parents great concern. One major area of the home where there is a potential for injury is the stairs. Babies are usually enthralled by stairs and with the experience of climbing, but are unable to appreciate the potential for harm, as they don’t yet fully grasp the laws of physics. Million of babies are injured each year in falls, many of them on stairs. Baby proofing this area is a major responsibility, and parents want…
LEGO FRIENDS: Pop Star Dressing Room Kit & Girlz 4 Life Blu-ray Giveaway
**Warner Bros. Home Video provided me with some of the materials I used in this Blog Post/Giveaway. The opinions I share are my own.** It's no secret that we love Legos in our home. Sadly, the only girl we have is The Teen, and she's the only one who never really got into playing with them. I love, love, love how these sets have evolved. We were just talking the other day about how back in the 40's they just had the bricks. Then, they started introducing sets and themed sets, and all the goodness we know now. Join Olivia,…
When your breastfeeding struggle is real…
As a mom of four and a professional doula, I am a huge advocate of breastfeeding. I truly believe it offers the best possible start in life for your baby. It provides all the nutrients needed at exactly the right temperature for your little one to digest. Best of all, it provides that all-important bonding experience that only mother and child can share. So what happens when your breastfeeding struggle is real? Many women find breastfeeding hard, and that's understandable. As a new mom (or even an experienced breastfeeding mom), there are many reasons for nursing to be a…
Why you should have your own Samsung Galaxy Note5! | #SprintMom
I participated in an Ambassador Program on behalf of Influence Central for Sprint. I received product to facilitate my review as well as a promotional item to thank me for my participation. Dear Hubs, I've had so much fun with my new phone using Sprint Global Roaming (FREE unlimited data and text, for real!), that I just had to write and let you know why Samsung Galaxy Note5 should be your new phone of choice. For the past few years, we were so excited about our current phone (that we will call "X" for the sake of anonymity), that we not only…
Alleviate Reading Struggles with HomeTeam by Panasonic
This school year, we've noticed a real struggle with The Gamer's reading grades. He reads perfectly fine, and he comprehends pretty well, but where he struggles the most is the time it takes him to read books of no interest to him. We know, as they get older and move into the middle school years, the books available are longer and less interesting as the ones that were available to them in the elementary stage. We've tried several different forms of reading with him, and we're so thankful that we were introduced to HomeTeam by Panasonic. Originally, I wanted to try…
Days Out The Whole Family Will Love
On a weekend, there is nothing that I love more than going for a day out with my family. Sometimes this is just the six of us, other times we choose to invite extended family and friends along. Wherever we decide to go, we always like to ensure that we have the best time. Sometimes, it can be hard knowing what to do with the kids on the weekends. This is partly because doing children’s activities all the time can get boring for us parents - we need to have fun as well. And also due to the weather that we…
