Keeping Kids Busy This Summer

There is no schoolwork that needs to be done or schedules to keep. It is so hard to find new ways of keeping kids busy this summer. Affordable day trips are a way to keep the kids entertained.

June 8, 2013 by Kat 14 Comments

As a parent, I'm always looking out when my kids go outside to play, and touch different objects. Germs are everywhere, and I want to be sure that my child is as safe as can be. My two year old has an immune deficiency so its really tough on us since he is sick all the time. I try to keep him safe from all the nasty germs that I can. It's always nice to have an antibacterial hand wash on hand when we're on the go, or even at home. It's always nice to find new products to try out and find new go-to items. I reviewed SafeHands and SafeSquirts soothing alcohol free sanitizers. They're great for every day use. The SafeHands is a … [Read more...]

Pregnancy is one of the sweetest times in any woman's life. To know that she's growing a life inside of her is both amazing, exciting, and frightening. One thing that we have to remember, is that keeping ourselves fit should be one of the most important things. Even when we eat correctly, and exercise, we still have that little bit of weight that just doesn't want to budge! I was asked to review a DVD and a book from BeFit-Mom. Their website will guide you through exercising and eating right through pregnancy, and after. You can even buy the DVD and book through their website as well. I like easy it is to navigate.

Sleeping Well with our Minky Couture Blanket

May 31, 2013 by Kat 2 Comments

If you have children, I'm sure that at least one of them has a "lovey," whether it be a blanket, stuffed animal, or some other well loved toy, that they carry around with them, day after day, and they refuse to let you wash them, or even take them away without some sort of tantrum. My 11 year old had a stuffed bear. He loved that bear and called it Pokey. It is still on his bed and has lost all of his stuffing because of how often my son slept with it and played with it. If you haven't found your children's "lovey," I think I may have found something that they'll enjoy. Minky Couture was started in 2009, by Sandi Henry. She started … [Read more...]
