This post was sponsored by Sylvan Learning. The opinions are completely my own. The past month has been spent shuffling the children into new rooms and reorganizing the house. We figured chaos during the school year would not be good for learning. With school starting now in just two days my thoughts have turned to how to make their new space more learning friendly. I know that when I was growing up I didn’t have a “place” to study … [Read more...]

After the birth of my last baby my OBGYN was very concerned that I might have serious issues as well. Apparently during my c-section she found that my bladder had adhered to my uterus. She was able to separate them, but it … [Read more...]

That’s why I’m happy to partner with Staples to promote their #MakeRoarHappen … [Read more...]

Traveling with the littles can bring on a state of panic for a lot of people. Images of wiggling kids, whining phrases, irritated passengers and multiple pit stops for a potty break are just a few scenarios that float through the mind. We have been … [Read more...]
