All fun, all for kids, all the time.
I’m super excited to be partnering with Energizer to participate in the Energizer Light Up a Life Champions for Kids Campaign! I am going to create an Energizer Care Kit for kids, then I am donating the care kit to a local church group that does quite a bit for children in need in our [...]
My sister’s and I try to get together on a regular basis to visit and catch up. This last weekend we were also getting together to celebrate my niece and nephew’s birthdays. I was excited to give International Delight Iced Coffee at try, and to have the opportunity to share it with my family for [...]
This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Avocados from Mexico for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine. It can be really difficult to get children to eat healthy, believe me, I know! My son would love to junk out on junk food 24-7. Sometimes even the things we think are healthy [...]

I have a problem with most man made fragrances. Many laundry detergents, perfumes, lotions and room deodorizers that contain scents make me sneeze and give me a headache. I like to keep my son away from them too, he seems to get a stuffy nose when he’s been around too much air freshener or perfume. [...]
I don’t know about you but I’m in love with Pinterest! I’m always finding the coolest ideas, and now I have a place where I can organize all those cool things onto boards. I’m sure I’m not the only Pinterest fan out there, in fact I know several other bloggers I hang out with are [...]
The other day I told you about the gift basket we put together for our dog Emily here: Remembering Pets During the Holidays. She’s a special part of our family, so we always like to make her feel special all year round. When we got home from Walmart after we purchased all the goodies for [...]
My son is deep into basketball season right now, which means practice after school at least 3 nights a week, and one or two games a week. During the winter it’s nice to be able to serve something hot. I like to keep some quick and easy snacks in the freezer he can cook himself, [...]
My son’s best friend is our dog Emily. We got her when he was 7 years old, so he’s grown up with her over the last few years. We adopted Emily from Buckeye Border Collie Rescue, after she was found wandering the streets with no tags, and no signs of an owner. I’ve always been [...]
Laundry is an ongoing chore at our house. My goal is to do at least one load of laundry a day, start to finish, then I catch up on any extra loads, and washing extras like sheets and blankets on the weekend. Sometimes my son or my husband throw in the daily load of laundry, [...]
It seems like my son is always coming home with a new report or project he needs to complete. I usually try to help him with his wording or grammar, but we’re not always in agreement on how things should be worded. He doesn’t really care for it when I correct him on his grammar. [...]
I love to take photos! In fact I just bought a brand new D5100 Nikon DSLR camera a couple weeks ago so I can take even more photos, and learn more about taking great pictures. The only problem I have is how to back all those photos up. I print out some, use some on [...]

I have a new running and walking partner, the ultra cute Sansa Clip Zip. I love to listen to tunes, especially when I’m on the move. I used to borrow my son’s iPod, but of course it’s loaded with his favorite songs. I like some of the same songs he likes, but he leans towards [...]
Mom Stacey Alexander has created a line of products to help parents show their children how special they are, even when they’re away from home. When my son was younger I used to love to tuck a quick note in his lunch when I packed it for him. One of the Positively Proud products Stacey [...]
My son is 12 years old, and very into sports. He plays basketball, baseball, and he just finished up with fall football. With all those sports there’s also plenty of sweating, and with football, heavy pads and equipment laying right on your skin. He’s also going through puberty in A BIG WAY! Put all of [...]
This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of American Family Insurance for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine. I love stand up comedy, but many of the shows are not fit for children to watch because of their content and/ or language, but American Family Insurance has a new feature on their [...]
