Our family would like to wish you a Merry Christmas and a Blessed New Year! 

One of the hottest toys right now is the Hexbug.  My kids LOVE these little guys! Even the 9 year old GIRL loves to play with the hexbug sets. This is the one toy that knows no Gender barrier. My dad even loved playing with the little bugs when they came to visit on Thanksgiving! He is [...]

We all know and love Croc’s shoes. They are so comfortable and have fabulous designs and colors. We also know that schools and gyms are no fans of Croc’s. They do not like the simplicity of them. How the kids can slip the shoes on and off. How they can easily allow mulch or sand [...]

I did a post a while back on a Command Center I had set up in the home. While that one worked great I decided it was time for a update. I thought of a few better ways to get us organized and cool new products.   Here is our new command center. I found [...]

This is part of a Back to School series.    I am all about routines and nice neat areas. I do not like clutter. Clutter seriously gives me panic attacks. With school underway I KNEW I had to create a area for the kids to put their shoes, backpacks, lunches and jackets so they did [...]

This is part of a back to school series.    If your kids are anything like mine they hate school supply shopping. You would think it is because of the fact that it means school is coming, but really it is because of the boring school supplies that are out there.   Office Max Schoolio [...]

This is part of a Back to School Series of posts. When schools start getting back in session that means that moms are busy getting all the supplies their kids need. If you are also like most moms you find yourself having to go buy more school supplies through the year due to kids losing [...]

Madison is all ready for 3rd grade! Jake HAD to be in the picture with her. C-man and Jake ready for their first day back at school! And this is how Molly felt about the first day of school.                

This is part of a Back to School Series.    Some mornings there just isn’t enough time or energy to prepare a full sized breakfast for kids. I know for me personally there are several mornings that I continue to hit the snooze until the last possible minute. Plus we all know that kids love cereal. Cereal [...]

This post is part of a Back to School Series. Most kids school lunches always contact some kind of sandwich. Peanut butter and jelly. Ham and Cheese. Grilled Cheese. Most of these sandwiches are served on regular old white bread. White bread has basically no nutritional value. When making your child’s sandwich you have a [...]

This is part of a series on Back to School.  Kids loving having chips packed in their lunches. Unfortunately most are full of fat and ingredients that I can not even pronounce. They are fattening and leave a nasty orange color on your hands. YUCK! Now you do not have to deprive yourself or your [...]

This post is part of a Back to School series.  Yogurt is a awesome after school snack or any addition to a school lunch. Most yogurt has live cultures our bodies need as well as calcium and protein. Greek yogurt is even better. Extra creamy and loaded with more protein that regular store yogurts. My [...]

This is a series of post in the Back to School Edition.  Does the kids going back to school have you nervous about the millions of germs they are going to come into contact with once they start? Are you buying Lysol and disinfecting wipes in bulk? Now you can help teach your kids about [...]

This is part of a Back to School Series.  With school right around the corner you want to start your kids off on the right foot. Not only with the right school supplies but also the right nutrition. Most juices are laced with sugar and are not even real juice. While sugar not only makes [...]

I am a day late writing this prompt. Sorry guys! We were so busy yesterday trying to get M’s room all done plus trying to get the house back in order for back to school. Anyways, I thought this one would be difficult but really it was a no brainer. These people had a HUGE [...]

Here is another great recipe that isnt a recipe! You pick the ingredients and you make it what you want! We used Whole Wheat Flat Breads, Mozzerella Cheese, sausage, salami, pepperoni, bacon bits, bell peppers, spinach, olives, and mushrooms. We let the kids make their own pizzas! ** We realized after shooting this video we [...]

Back in October I introduced you to a campaign called Don’t Fret the Sweat. I have once again partnered with Unilever  to share their Don’t Fret the Sweat Campaign again. It is a fantastic resource that all parents can use. Summer time is warm and is about freedom. Freedom from schedules and routines. The kids want [...]
