Online discount shopping is hard; we all know that. We women often subscribe to dozens of different newsletters from discount and coupon sites, just to find frugal family finds. Moms know, however, that taking children shopping to brick-and-mortar stores, especially bargain shopping, is near impossible. Austin-native Dustin DeVries and his wife Sharon noticed these problems,…
Reading With Your Child Every night before bed, we read books with our boys. It’s something that we started when Chandler was about 18 months, and we’ve been doing it ever since. That’s a habit we started 4 years ago, and one that I’m proud to say that we’ve been very consistent with. It helps…
Pampers Miracles Mission Baby Shower I remember each time I was pregnant so vividly, and I remember the first time that I held each of my boys. That overwhelming love, the feeling of knowing that my husband and I had created something so beautiful and perfect. It was at that time that I fully comprehended…
Home Warranties Before buying our home 2 1/2 years ago, we had an inspection done. We looked high and low for things that might be wrong. Although we did find a few things, like the garbage disposal being broken, there are some things you just aren’t aware of until you move in. For example, a…
Online Couponing Saves You Money Have you ever watched any of the extreme couponing shows? They are unreal. It’s a full time job, and they end up with grocery stores worth of product that they probably won’t use. But they only paid $42 for $800 worth of product. Doesn’t seem normal, does it? I enjoy…
Trending Baby Cribs We’ve only ever bought one crib, and that was about a month before Chandler was born. I looked all around, and we finally decided to go with a espresso colored crib with square corners. I spent more on this crib because I really wanted it to last. I notice now, that it’s…

Potty Training In A Day I have less than 2 weeks left of school. I’m basically done the end of April, but then the first week of May I have 1 final and Chandler’s preschool program. Rowan turned 3 back in January, and I’ve debated when to begin potty training. I’ve decided that since I…
Preserve National Parks Change is constantly happening around us, and that includes our world and National Parks as well. Growing up, and with my family now, I have great memories. Teton National Park was one that my family backpacked in a lot, and it was incredible to be able to enjoy nature. Although I didn’t…
Welch’s Grape Juice If you have kids, you know how incredibly picky they can be. It seems like as Chandler especially gets older, the less foods he likes. He’s not a big fan of fruit and the only thing I can ever get him to eat is an apple, so I try to use other…
Space Making It seems like hubby and I are always thinking about “when we have this” or “when we have that.” I’m sure we aren’t the only couple that talks like that and focuses a lot on the future. Sometimes when I really get thinking though, I realize that I should be living in the…
It’s interesting to me to note how many moms and ladies in general that I’ve met who have never had a spa break. Granted, it’s been far a few between for me, but I definitely feel like taking time to pamper yourself is something that is important for every woman. I remember having a conversation…
Keep Fresh With Febreze How are the New Year’s Resolutions going? If you’ve set fitness goals, are you keeping up with them? I’m trying, but with a busy schedule, my workouts don’t always get met. I’ve got a new treadmill on the way that I’ve been wanting to purchase for a while, so it will…
Unsung Heroes As a mom, you do so much throughout the day that never gets heard of or seen. From changing diapers and making meals, to taking kids to their activities and comforting them when they need it. Pampers recognizes this, and that’s why they have the Pampers Gifts to Grow program. It’s a way…
Reading Before Kindergarten I’ve struggled in a lot of different ways trying to figure how how to teach Chandler before he goes to kindergarten. I have 0 teaching experience, and heck – I don’t remember learning to read. Since he turned 5 last fall, he gets bored easily and needs more stimulation. He’s in full…
