Keep On Going Energizer is a brand that never stops going. When you first think of the brand, you might think of that infamous Energizer Bunny who just keeps going…and going….and going. That applies to all walks of life, according to Energizer. This year marks the fifth year of the Energizer Keep Going Hall of…

Kimochis and Emotions Emotions seem like something that are hard to teach sometimes. With Chandler it honestly wasn’t something I really thought about until I realized he was using his aggression to hit other kids. He wasn’t quite sure how to express himself when he was angry or upset so he would just act out….

Kick the Smell I run and workout 5 days a week, so I am constantly doing laundry. That’s a lot of stinky clothes that add up fast. Tide and Febreeze have teamed up to bring you a new sport formula to help kick the smell and leave you with fresher, better smelling clothes and sports…

Work It Out Working out at home seems to be pretty convenient. I don’t have to have anyone watch my boys, and I can do it on my own time. Right now, I cross train once a week, and run the other 4 days. I will probably mix it up a bit more after running…

Constant Cleaning I’d never cleaned so much until I became a mom. Between sticky fingers, mud, and germs, it’s a constant battle.

Secrets of the Mountain If you’ve stopped by to visit in the last couple days, you know that I’ve been in NYC. My first trip there, and it was for a great reason. Walmart and Proctor & Gamble have paired up to present a great family film; Secrets of the Mountain. I must admit, I…

Animal Figures When Chandler was just over a year, he took a strong liking to animals. When we would go to grandma’s house, he would play with all of the animal figurines she had. He would take lots of time lining them up, and they sparked his imaginative play as he got older. He still…

Spring Shopping Spring is here! Well, not completely where I live. It’s still snowing massive amounts each day and then melting. I wish it would warm up already! Just because the weather hasn’t been cooperating, that doesn’t mean I’m not ready for Spring. TJ Maxx and Marshalls are ready for spring as well with some…

Carrabbas Italian Grill Italian food, yum. I don’t need to say too much more how I feel about it, right? Carrabba’s Italian Grill is nothing short of delicious, and now through April 15th, you can save with their Viaggi del Gusto Passports. They are basically a great coupon book that you can pick up at…

Soft Soled Toddler Shoes What are some of the first things that you look for when trying to find a  soft soled shoe for your baby or toddler? For me, I look for something that is stylish, seems comfortable, is great quality, and most of all is flexible. The first few years your child goes…

Concept of Time When kids are small, it seems they don’t have a lot of concept of time. I remember being little and having to wait what it seemed like years for Christmas to come. I don’t remember really comprehending days, weeks, and so forth. That all fell into place when I was 6 or…

Fashion Creation I’m sure at some point in our lives we have all experimented with fashion. Whether you do it on a regular basis, or it was a one time fling, most women have done it. I like to do it, although I don’t always have the best outcomes when I experiment. I think it’s…
