Karibu Cushion Step Potty Review | Independent Potty Learning at it’s finest!

My baby is not a baby anymore.  He's two years and three months old, and he's ready to start using the potty. *Pause for uncontrollable sobbing.* I've been dreading this time of his life, because I'm not a fan of those little toilet seats that you carry around from room to room and let them use.  The clean up is less than fun, and I just hate the idea of having a toilet follow you around in every room!  They're just gross, and I'm too lazy for all that jazz. We're all about child lead potty learning.  Jett's shown a…

Kidoodle.TV Kids Programming with Parental Controls for iDevices #MC #spon

I participated in a Blogger Activation on behalf of Mom Central Consulting for I received a promotional item and a free trial as a thank you for participating. When tablets and phones first came out, we always had to be so careful what we'd let our kiddos do on them.  Honestly, their minds didn't wander far from Angry Birds until they discovered youTube which proved to be one of the worst apps to let a child view unsupervised.  Now, it's great to have fantastic apps out there that are no only fun for kids, but also educational and, best of…

Dark Chocolate Dreamy Christmas Cookies Recipe | #cookies #recipe

While experimenting, I discovered that incorporating dark chocolate not only elevates the flavor but also brings along a multitude of advantages.

So, here's to my triumphant entry into the family cookie war, armed with the knowledge about the dark chocolate advantages! I'm hoping this post finds several BHISD…

Mashed Potato and Garlic Corn Chowder Recipe

Andy and I have been married for twelve years, and as you can imagine, with four kids in the mix, just about everything we've had up until this point has either been destroyed or broken.  We've learned, along the way, that the good stuff stays put up until we have company or our little ones prove old enough to use it carefully.  That's why I vow to protect my new Pfaltzgraff Dinnerware with everything I have!  It's absolutely off limits to the kiddos. My new Pfaltgraff Calico stoneware is pretty awesome.  Each place setting comes with the following: 11 inch…
