Pictures are worth a thousand words, right? Whether it’s to commemorate a special family moment or just capture the everyday memories, snapping photos of our lives is as easy as pulling out the cell phone that we all seem to have right on-hand nowadays. And while sharing pictures online is quick and easy – and [...]

Although I haven’t posted about it yet this fall, there is one activity that takes over our household from the end of August until mid-October – youth soccer. Like last year, all three of our girls are playing again, which makes for a crazy schedule during the week (they each have had practices on different [...]

Wow, it feels like summer began just yesterday and here we are looking at school starting again for us next week. My girls are getting ready – we’ve already had one school supply shopping trip and they all met their new teachers last night at Back-to-School Night. We have a few more things left on [...]

I am a picky eater. Yes, I’ll fully admit to that fact! However, over time I’ve learned to try and like a lot more foods and although there’s still a lot of things I won’t eat (like fruit), I’ve since met someone else who has taken the crown as the pickiest eater I’ve ever known…

What do you get when you hand a kid a box of crayons, a paintbrush or a piece of sidewalk chalk? It’s hard to even take a guess sometimes – but that’s the thing that’s so amazing to see. What one child will come up with can be completely and totally different from what another [...]

Although I don’t drink coffee myself, I always remember the strong scent from when my mom would brew it in the mornings. She has always taken her coffee black (probably one reason I never developed a taste for it) and there’s still just something about the smell of a fresh pot of coffee brewing that [...]

I’m not by any means a foodie, a food blogger or even a terribly great cook. I’ll be honest and say that I tend to look more at convenience when choosing what to feed my family for dinner than whether it’s the best nutritional option or the healthiest choice I can find. I have friends [...]

Last week, I had the opportunity to co-host one of the classes that The Motherhood is doing this month for their ‘Don’t Fret The Sweat Tween Academy’. The topic was Tweens & Personal Hygiene and this was a timely one for me since my oldest daughter is now 10-1/2 and we’re just getting into those [...]

Back in 2010, I had a great experience visiting the Unilever-sponsored suite during BlogHer in New York City, which was one of the most fun events that I attended – in part, because I had the chance to meet Rosalind Wiseman and I received a copy of her book, Queen Bees & Wannabees: Helping Your [...]

Back when I was a kid, we used to have recess three times every day – morning, lunchtime and afternoon. I knew that schools have had to cut recess times over the years in order to squeeze in more instructional time and do what they can with limited resources, so I wasn’t surprised to find [...]

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Dollar General. All opinions are 100% mine.
When it comes to buying school supplies and other back-to-school essentials, I always look for the best value I can find. I want good quality items of course, but at a cost that our checkbook can handle, especially [...]

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of TracFone. All opinions are 100% mine.
As my kids get older, I know that we’re going to have to address the cell phone issue – very soon. My oldest has already started asking for a phone, and while I don’t think she really needs one [...]

Yes, it’s true – these long, lazy days of summer are coming to an end, and soon enough our days will be filled with school, activities and raking up those pesky leaves. But summer’s not quite finished yet – there’s still some time to sneak in some fun, and Coca-Cola’s helping us enjoy every moment [...]

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Sprint. All opinions are 100% mine.

Have you seen the Mom’s the Word on Dinner videos over on Ragu’s Facebook page lately? I’ve been following the conversation as some well-known bloggers dish about different dinner-time topics, all about feeding our kids – how to handle picky eaters, feed kids healthier foods, and the latest video – which talks about table manners:

As a kid, I always wanted to go camping – real camping, like in a tent. The closest that my brother and I ever got was camping in our backyard a few times – but hey, sleeping outdoors under the stars, in a sleeping bag, in a tent? As far as I was concerned that [...]

My middle and high school years were smack in the midst of the 1980’s – big hair, cuffed jeans, legwarmers and all. The music, the clothes, the trends – I’m starting to see bits and pieces of it all coming back into style again for my kids’ generation. The other day I actually saw someone [...]

It all began with one man. My husband. He innocently enough turned the television on one day while he was home on vacation – and found himself sucked into a whole new dimension. A place where 104 days of summer vacation seem to last forever and where 2 young boys can not only traverse the [...]
