by 8 Comments
Avoid Summer Brain Drain with Netflix | #StreamTeam My kids both hit summer running... literally. They are out the door the minute the sun is up. That is, until it reaches the low 90’s and above, or we have a dreary rainy day. Then it’s straight to the television. To avoid pointless viewing, I love to put titles like the ones below into their watch list to help avoid summer brain drain. Hopefully some of these might spark a little … [Read more...]

Sunscreen Bands Monitor Your Kids Sun Exposure
by 172 Comments
Sunscreen Bands Monitor Your Kids Sun Exposure In the United States, 1 in 5 children will develop skin cancer. Did that get your attention? I have 4 children, so what does this mean for my family? To me, these are just unacceptable statistics. Just under two years ago we went through a skin cancer scare with my Dad. He spent his entire life worshipping the sun. Shirtless, deep tan and on the water was his … [Read more...]

by 11 Comments
Sphero Our family enjoys a good family game night. With children ranging in age from almost 6 to 22, sometimes it can be hard to agree on a game to play.

I’ve done a little digging and found 10 incredibly … [Read more...]

by 4 Comments
Pack the Perfect Purse | From Diaper Bag to Purse This post is part of a sponsored program for Socialstars #PoisewithSAM . I finally made it back into the world of most adult woman. I started carrying a purse... again. I have been carrying a diaper bag, or kids bag, for nearly 8 years. It seemed strange to me to when I no longer needed a bag for diapers, wipes, toys, sippy cups, and my things. I was left with “my things” and nowhere … [Read more...]

Summer Essentials for Summer Play Samples received. All opinions are my own. My kids are sun bunnies. The minute the weather gets nice enough to go outside without a heavy winter coat, they are clambering for the door. The play starts out slow. Riding their bikes in the cal-de-sac for a few minutes until they get too cold. Summer hits and they are out from sun up to sun down. The warmer it gets outside, the harder it is for me … [Read more...]
I Got My Back to School Supplies at Dollar General

This post brought to you by Dollar General. All opinions are 100% mine. I Got My Back to School Supplies at Dollar General I absolutely hate store hopping for my kids Back to School Supplies. It used to be a game for me. I’d hunt the sales, hit the stores the minute they open and stock up on as much as I could store. Then I had more kids. Dragging my kids around to more than one store is just a complete and utter … [Read more...]
