When I had my daughter in 2001 I became insanely obsessed with her wardrobe. I LOVE the Gymboree lines and I’d always go in there knowing I would be buying and entire line. Each piece is carefully done so that you can actually mix and match them and they all still match and coordinate for [...]
There are a few things in life that will completely push me over the edge. One of those things is people telling me how to parent or questioning my decisions. Look at my children! Do they look like they are unhappy in any way? They are very happy and they have more then they could [...]
I have 2 very amazing children. They are truly more then I ever imagined they would be. For the most part everything is very scheduled and on time. We don’t have problems with homework, dinner, etc. It’s all on a schedule and sticking to that schedule is very important to us. This schedule is right [...]
When I had my daughter 11 (almost 12) years ago I had no idea how much my life was going to change. I thought that I would have a baby, but I would still be able to do everything I did and it wouldn’t change much. Boy was I wrong. It’s not a bad thing [...]
Summer is here. For us that means plenty of time in the water, either the pool or the lake. We spend a lot of the summer in the water. In the Midwest the winters are cold and the summers are hot! While spending time in the pool you do have to be careful. Things like [...]
My kids are really fond of the computer. It seems like they would rather play computer online kids games then anything else. They play them together and alone. As a parent I feel the need to limit their game play. I don’t mind it, especially when it’s educational games, but I still like to watch [...]
Max is a young boy, and like most boys he loves to draw. One day he gets a mysterious marker in the mail. There is no letter attached – only the plain orange marker. Max decides to test it right away, sits down and starts drawing. He draws a monster but as soon as he [...]
Pregnancy is a very exciting time in your life. It was one of the times in my life that I will never forget. Every doctor visit, every weight gain, every milestone.. I have it all vividly in my memory. No one plans or really even discusses the chances of a preemie with their doctor. It’s [...]
The Zoobles have sprung to life and they are a hit in every home! My daughter is in love with them and we have so many of these! I have to admit, they are pretty cute. I wish they made some of them a little larger for the toddlers because my nephew is so drawn [...]
Tea Collection has been a really big favorite of our family for awhile now. The clothing is always trendy and adorable. The kids love the comfortable clothing and I am a huge fan of the mix and match pieces that they offer. This holiday season we are dressing the kids up in some of the [...]
Doodle Bears are back, and they’re just as much doodle, stamp, trace, and machine wash-to-erase fun as you remember! Each comes with 2 dual-tipped washable markers (drawing tip at one end; stamper at the other), plus a stencil with 3 sweet shapes to trace. Decorate your bear, then machine-wash it clean so you can doodle [...]
I love anything that will entertain my kiddos. If it entertains them and keeps them busy for any significant amount of time, it’s money well spent. I am not by any means saying that I don’t want to entertain them or play with them because I do, but there are those moments, like when I [...]
