Are You Back-To-School Ready?
This back-to-school year is a bittersweet one for our family. It is the last back-to-school that we will have with our kids because they are starting their Senior year in high school. And as I sit and think about what we must do to prepare them for a fresh start this school year, I am […]
Seniors in High School? How did THAT happen?
Do you ever look at yourself and wonder who that person in the mirror actually IS? I mean, where has the time gone? When I was younger, I would look at the people who are my age and think to myself, “that person is old!” Now, I AM that old person. The problem is, I […]
Do Your #KidsBuckleUp Like They Should?

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. […]
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 […]

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 […]
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, […]
