This review was made possible by Double Duty Divas and Pampers. I was provided the featured product free of charge to facilitate my review, but all opinions are 100% mine. If you had asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up, you would have received my standard answer... “A Mom.” I knew this was my calling since I was about 10 years old. I took every babysitting job offered to me, I took the child development classes in high school, I … [Read more...]

This post brought to you by Honeybaked. All opinions are my own. I have been a mom for 23 years now. Yes, 23 years. We just celebrated my daughter’s birthday last weekend, actually.

I have yet to find a stain fighting liquid like this that is effective on my … [Read more...]

This post brought to you by The Motherhood. All opinions are my own. As a mother, it pains my heart to hear of children that are food insecure... meaning they don’t know where there next meal is coming from. When I heard that more than one in five children in the U.S were food insecure I wanted to cry. That’s nearly 16 million children, a number that could fill 8,000 playgrounds. Children who experience even intermittent struggles … [Read more...]

Motts Juice for Everyday Drinking | #MottsEveryday
by 7 Comments
This blog post is part of a paid SocialMoms and Mott's blogging program. The opinions and ideas expressed here are my own. What my children eat and drink is always a concern of mine. I read labels and I try my best to purchase “real” food and avoid artificial sweeteners. I also limit my children’s sugar intake (my kids are sweet enough without it). I am not perfect by any means and I have been known to allow the occasional indulgence, but … [Read more...]
Radio Flyer Cyclone Arm Powered Ride On for Kids
by 15 Comments
The Radio Flyer Cyclone has FUN written all over it. I showed my son a video of the cyclone in action and right away he was asking me to order one (little did he know we had one coming to review). Days after watching the video he would still ask if I ordered a cyclone yet and when it would come. The day finally came when the Cyclone arrived at our house, he couldn't wait to set it up and take a spin. There was some assembly required which only … [Read more...]
