May is a busy month for us this year. There is Mother’s Day, like usual, but then there’s also Teacher Appreciation Day (which we’ve done in the past), and our friends are due with their second child. Why not make it easier on myself than to just find a gift for all three occasions at [...]

Change the Way Your Kids Brush #Firefly4Kids

Brushing with new Firefly Ready Go Brush

We all know how important it is to teach our kids to brush every day, twice even. I’ve talked about it on my blog a couple of times and will continue to talk about it, because to me, oral health is just as important as your overall health. Not to mention annoyingly expensive to deal [...]

As a parent, the last thing you want to admit is that your child needs help. We pray and pray that our children are born healthy and perfect, but things happen. Without a doubt, we have been blessed with three beautiful healthy children. I will never complain about that. I guess, as a mom, I [...]

A Room Makeover Fit For a Princess #DisneyPaintMom

Disney's Sleeping Beauty Paint Color

Earlier this month, I had to opportunity to give my girls’ room a new look, thanks to Mom Trends and Glidden Disney Paint. So exciting, since we’ve never actually gotten around to painting it, or giving it any sort of theme at all. Most of you know that my girls are very much girly-girls, so of course [...]

Athena is almost 16 months old. It’s crazy. So I thought I would update how we’re doing with breastfeeding. When she was born, my goal was to nurse at least a year, but hopefully longer. With my first, I only nursed a couple of months and switched her to formula. Mostly because I was uneducated [...]

My Spokane to Seattle Road Trip – Kia Optima SX Review

Interior Features in the Kia Optima

I love my minivan, I really do. But how much fun is it to drive something new and different for a change? So. Much. Fun. Especially with a sleek, quick, and sport-like designed car like the Kia Optima SX. It’s a car I would have definitely bought before kids, but is it a family car? Let’s start [...]

Honey Bunches of Oats Greek Honey Crunch Cereal

Breakfast is our family’s favorite meal, without a doubt. But, during the week I just don’t have the time to make a hot breakfast. That leaves the kids with a few different choices, like frozen waffles and yogurt, oatmeal, or cereal. Must days they pick cereal, which works just fine with me. They have a [...]
