There's a real food movement that's taken hold and I'm okay with it. What does that mean? Well, we all lead busy lives and we're constantly searching for ways to feed our families the best we can. We're hearing much buzz about being "mindful" in all aspects of our lives including what we … [Read more...]
What’s In My Bag? National Sun Awareness Edition
I love that my kids are active in team sports, and I've learned my role. I am there to watch them play. I do love to watch them play.

Review: Samsung Galaxy Note 3 and Gear
Technology is amazing, isn't it? I love telling my teenager about owning my first "cellphone." It was 14 years ago...just before he was born. I felt it was a necessity for emergency purposes.

Though we appreciate it, it's not a miracle that Miley Cyrus has finally been photographed with her tongue planted firmly in cheek. … [Read more...]
Snuggle Up With The SleepBelt
When L'il E was a newborn he was not a snuggler. He was happy to just lay around independently and sleep. He was always the envy of my other mom friends. He would just go to sleep anywhere. LJ on the other hand is a huge snuggler and I'm happy about it because I'm getting my cuddle fix, but man … [Read more...]
Abundance Naturally Bath Time
There is nothing better than nuzzling up to a freshly washed baby - right?

I just love seeing him grin and listening to his squeals and L'il E thinks … [Read more...]
It’s All White…with OxiClean
We're heading out on our last family road trip of the summer today, and it's one we've been thinking about for a very long time.
