All fun, all for kids, all the time.
#CuriousGeorgeMoms If your kids like to dance you’re invited to enter a video of them showing off their coolest monkey dance moves to the Curious George theme song for a chance to be featured on a Curious George DVD. There’s even a chance they could win a visit from George himself! I remember when my [...]
My son is just entering his teenage years, and he’s very into sports so he does plenty of sweating. The combination has led to some acne on his face and body. We’ve been trying to treat it with different over the counter products. That’s why I decided to give MaxClarity a try when I had [...]
Last fall I had the opportunity to test out the Brother P-Touch Label maker. I gave the labels a test and shared the results here: Brother P-Touch Challenge. I also had the opportunity to use the label maker to help give my craft room a makeover. I shared the results here: Organizing the Craft Room. [...]
We’ve made a couple all inclusive trips to the Cancun Mexico area in the last year, but I haven’t shared our experiences here yet! Last fall we went to the Grand Bahia Principe in Akumal, Mexico. It was a very family friendly all inclusive resort, I think it would be a great Spring Break destination! [...]

A couple days ago I told you about a service project I’m participating in here: Energizer Champions for Kids. I thought at that time I was going to give my kit to a local church group, but because of the time constraints I ended up making the kits for a special needs class at our [...]
I’ve been playing with clipix for a couple weeks now. I’ve had a blast clipping some of my favorite websites and ideas all in one place. Clipix is a fairly new social bookmarking site that lets you “clip” the things you want to keep track of to organized clipboards. The boards look like this one [...]
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’m super excited to be a part of the collaboration, and to have one of my crafts included in the project. 70+ [...]
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 [...]
