This post is sponsored by Sensible Portions but the content and opinions expressed here are my own. It doesn't really matter what time of year it is, my kids have always been all about their snacks! That being said, I prefer to have lots of healthy snack options on hand at all times, so that when they are hungry, it's a no-brainer for them to reach for something nutritious. ... Read More
Educational Toys We Love
This post is sponsored by BabbleBoxx.com on behalf of LeapFrog Enterprises, Inc. I'm seven years into this parenting gig, and by now, as you can probably imagine, we have owned a whole lot of toys. Having four kids, two boys and two girls, means that we have played with everything from dolls and blocks, to dress-up costumes, and sports games... and for the record all of my ... Read More

5 Ways to Make Back to School Less Stressful
This post is sponsored by Kleenex, Scott, Cottonelle and Viva but the content and opinions expressed here are my own. August is quickly flying by, and before we all know it, the first day of school will be upon us. As much as I hate the thought of wishing away what's left of summer, I'd be lying if I said I wasn't looking forward to sending Max and Ella back to school this ... Read More
Easter Basket Ideas for Boys & Girls
Easter is quickly approaching, and I'd be lying if I told you that I was at all prepared this year. To be honest, with a new baby on the way and a million things on my plate, I only recently started gathering up items to put into each of my kids baskets. I have always love shopping for Easter items though. I kind of feel like it's the spring equivalent to shopping for stocking ... Read More
Gift Ideas for the Creative Child
It's getting down to the wire now with Christmas being only 11 days away. I didn't go crazy this year with the gift guides/ideas here on the blog, like I have in years past, because to be honest, December kind of got away from me. I did feel inclined though, to share this little round up of ideas, because if your kids are anything like mine, they love the chance to get ... Read More
Five Year Olds Are Tough, It’s All About Compromise
If I'm being honest, five year olds can be pretty tough sometimes. Don't get me wrong, most days Max is still as sweet as can be, but as he grows older, and becomes more independent, there are moments when we don't exactly see eye to eye like we used to. In the past year he's really begun to understand how the world works, and started to test his ... Read More

Create Your Own Art Cart for Kids
One of my proudest moments as a mom (and a lover of anything artistically inclined) was the first time I handed my oldest a crayon and a piece of paper and let him go to town. Art was my favorite subject in school, and even as an adult I still like to get down with a fresh box of colored pencils and a coloring book. My 4.5 year old has really taken a liking to coloring, and ... Read More
