Since April is World Autism Month, I’ve decided to #LightItUpBlue with Autism Speaks to increase understanding and awareness of autism. Each and every one of us is unique and special in our own ways. Being unique and understanding one another is important, especially today. Thankfully, knowledge is at our fingertips for just about anything you […]

Is Your Child In Danger? Car Seat Safety
Did you know that every 33 seconds a child under 13 is involved in a car crash in the United States due to incorrect or misuse of a car seat? That probably isn’t the first thing you think about when you are hauling your kids to school, the grocery store, or anywhere else around town. […]
Forever Connected – Bringing Your Photos to Life
This post is sponsored by Forever Connected – all thoughts and opinions are my own. I am known in my family as “the crazy photo lady” and “Do you really HAVE to get a picture of that?” I love my photos! But even with the 500 (million) photos on of my kids and the fun, […]
Fun, New Monkey Music to Get the Kids up and Dancing!
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 […]

Are you ready for Christmas? Just kidding. Or maybe not? Some people are wonderful at organizing, list-creating, and shopping throughout the year. Others still haven’t started – and may not start for another few weeks! For us – our kids have really gotten to the age where the big Christmas reveal isn’t even a thing […]

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, […]
Get Foreclosure Help Now Before It Is Too Late
No one thinks it can happen to them, but it does happen. I am talking about foreclosure. It is a nauseating word, but it happens every single day to millions of American families. While there are signs that the country and the housing market are recovering from this most recent financial crisis, there are still […]

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 […]
