My kids are growing up. They are in that phase where they can do almost everything by themselves which makes me kinda lazy and I am getting really good at ordering them around. But there is one thing they still can’t quite do themselves…bathtime. My oldest takes showers now which is a long ways from…

Disney Imagicademy Party
We had a Disney Imagicademy party last week to celebrate the launch of Disney’s new app Mickey’s Magical Math World! I invited nearly all of my 6-year-old’s friends and I think we ended up with almost 20 kids at my house. It was insanity! But so much fun. I set up the table, complete with…
Dash and Dot Robots Review
My kids got the Dash and Dot Robots for Christmas and it’s been a big hit! (Read this introductory post to refresh your memory about them.) So far, it’s kind of like having a pet. Only way easier to take care of! But it’s been kind of like training a dog to do tricks. I…
A Child’s First Phone
This post is sponsored by Tracfone, all opinions are my own. There was a day when my six year old boy walked over to his friend’s house, just around the corner, by himself. When it was time to come home, I texted my friend to send him home. He didn’t show up. I walked around…
Getting a Flu Shot
‘Tis the season of getting sick. I feel like I’ve been struggling with some sort of sniffles/sore throat for the last month! And especially when you have little kids around you, they bring home everything and just spread it around. And last week my daughter was throwing up so much she ended up having to…
DIY Dirty Diet Coke
If you don’t know what Dirty Diet Coke is, here’s what it is: the most delicious form of Diet Coke you have ever tasted. There’s a couple of new stores/restaurants (I’m not sure what to call them since they serve nothing but treats) around my town that serve a dirty Diet Coke. They don’t cost…
Six Ways to Use Shelf Liner When Living With Kids
This post brought to you by Duck Brand. All opinions are 100% mine. Sometimes I pretend that I’m an adult. Wait no–I AM an adult. But often when I look around my house I think “Why is my house so messy? I didn’t make that mess. Those aren’t my things.” It’s obvious that I live…
Mother’s Day Gift Ideas
This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of RedEnvelope. Being a mom is hands-down the hardest thing I have ever done. I’ve been doing it for a little over six years now. I may not be as seasoned as all y’all but I do have plenty of those true MOM moments where…
25 Ways to Make Your Child’s Birthday Special
So today is my eldest-born’s sixth birthday. It got me thinking about my own birthdays as a child, and how my mom always tried really hard to make them special. Now my mother dearest has eleven children. Eleven!! It still boggles my mind. She had many routines to survive parenting her eleven. We had a…
5 Minute Blackout Curtains
Well Daylight Savings is back, and that means the sun is rising earlier and setting later (in case you’ve been living under a rock and didn’t know that.) If your kids are like mine, that means they get to stay up later and get up early–right?? No. That’s not so much okay with me. My…
My Trip to Leapfrog
I’ve been working with Leapfrog for a couple of years now. We love their products and have enjoyed reviewing them. So I was super excited when Leapfrog invited me and four other bloggers out to visit their headquarters in San Francisco! It was my first official ‘business’ trip (if you don’t count blog conferences) and…
Why Huggies Swimmers are the BEST
This shop is part of a social shopper marketing insight campaign with Pollinate Media Group™ and Huggies, but all my opinions are my own. #pmedia #HuggiesSwimmers http://cmp.ly/3/8vNxcO. When I was single, going swimming was THE. BEST. I barely did any actual ‘swimming’ it was more like ‘laying out’ with my best friends for hours talking…
