Making my kids get up and MOVE has never really been an issue, thankfully. They have always been the type to get off their butts all on their own. My son cannot sit for more than 30 mins without moving – he comes by it honestly. But sometimes, even still, there is boredom in the […]

The Mom Village – Encouraging Moms Through Stories
One of my favorite projects each year is the book we do benefitting a different organization. Last year, we worked on a book together called the Mom Quilt. The proceeds from the book went to build a well in Kenya for the Mercy House. This provided not only clean drinking water for the organization, but […]
To Tanzania with Love | The Laurita Spina Bifida Project Wants to Donate Wheelchairs
“How sad it is that we give up on people who are just like us.” — Fred Rogers (“Mr. Rogers”) I don’t really remember what it’s like not being able to walk. As parental anecdotes recall, I was about two years old when I took my first steps. My parents were overjoyed, of course, but […]

Laura Ingalls Wilder Doll Review & HUGE Giveaway!
I think that at least 90% of every person I know grew up either reading the Little House books or watching the Little House on the Prairie TV show. Some people love both, some had a preference of one or the other. But regardless of what your favorite was – Laura Ingalls Wilder and her […]
Laser X Two Player Fun + Giveaway!
Is anyone really ever too old to play laser tag? No, I didn’t think so. I have always been a little fascinated with laser tag games, both in places like Locomotion and the like, and the ones that can be played at home. I cannot even count the number of times I bought laser tag […]
Learning and Attention Disorders Just Need to be Understood
If more of us actually knew the signs of learning and attention disorders, I do not think that so many children would go undiagnosed every single year. It is so sad that we as a community are so uneducated about what those signs are. One in five children struggles with issues related to reading, […]

Chronic Absenteeism – Real Kids Need Real Help!
We are about 9 weeks (give or take) into the school year so far. My babies are JUNIORS in high school. I am not even sure how that is possible, honestly. They are doing adult-y things like driving, and dates, and jobs. But they are still my babies. And while I am big on making […]

Use Your Spare Change to Create a Work of Art! We had so much fun with this flag. My son has always loved loose change. When he was little, his grandpa would collect special dollar coins for him to save and he still has them in their folders. So when I found out that we […]
Child Passenger Safety Week Can Save Lives
Child Passenger Safety Week Can Save Lives It is no secret; it has been quite some time since I had little ones of my own. My kids are “all grown up” (not really, but they sure act like it sometimes). I mean right now my biggest worry is the fact that they are driving themselves, […]
Jay Franco & Sons Zippysack, Towel, Plush Pillow And Giveaway
When it comes to getting little ones to make the bed in the morning, the statement – the struggle is REAL – has never been more true. I am not sure why it is such a difficult and daunting task for kids, but it is. It is like you are asking them to scrub the […]
