Babes and Kids Review

Toys Until I became a parent, I never realized just how many toys there are out there. There are so many available, and I’ve learned quickly that toys that my 4 year old is into may not be appropriate for my 2 year old. Aka toys with small parts. Pop On Pals are a new…

iphones & Apps I got an iphone about 5 months ago. I love it, and I live on it. The capabilities are amazing, and the applications run right along that line as well. It’s also been a lifesaver when I’ve been out and about with the boys and we’ve had to wait somewhere. Instead of…

It’s Hot! It’s hot here. Hot where you live? I’m sure most of you would answer yes. We’ve been staying cool by playing in the water outside, just staying inside, and with popsicles and ice cream. When I see ice cream of any sort, it screams summer. It brings back great memories for me. To…

Red Robin, Etch a Sketch Contest It’s always fun to enter contests that have a little bit of a twist on them. It makes them more challenging and lets your creative juices really flow. Red Robin is doing just that with their Etch a Sketch Contest. When I think of Red Robin, great burgers automatically…

Sid the Science Kid Before a few months ago, I’d never seen Sid the Science Kid. I’m not sure why we’d never tuned in, but I definitely know now that we were missing out. It’s quickly become a favorite in our home and I find myself walking around singing one of the songs: “I love…

Making the Most of your Space It seems like the longer hubby and I are married, and as we’ve added each of our children to our family, we accumulate more and more stuff. We have one small room for storage in our house now, so we really have to make the most of our space….

Hunt’s 100% Natural Ketchup Ketchup is used often in our home. Ok, not just often, daily. My boys absolutely adore it and we honestly go through about 30 ounces every 2-3 weeks. A lot of times if I try making a new food and the boys don’t like it, if I put some ketchup in…

Do you remember the moment you found out you were pregnant?  I know I certainly do.  Both of our boys were plannned, and we got pregnant very quickly with both of them.  I remember reading A LOT about trying to conceive before we started.  I watched my cycle, and when it was time to test,…

Family Movie Night & The Jensen Project Family Movie night is back! If you tuned into Secrets of the Mountain a few months back, thank you! Because there was such a great viewership on P&G and Walmart’s first movie, Family Movie night will be happening again in an all new movie called The Jensen Project….

Celebrating With Gift Baskets Throughout the year, there are several special occasions that are exciting to celebrate. Birthdays, Anniversaries, and Father’s and Mother’s Day to name a few. When you aren’t quite sure what a loved one would like, ProFlowers has you covered. From flowers and spa baskets, to candy and stuffed animals, there is…

Laundry Challenge A few weeks back, I blogged about a challenge that I was taking through Seventh Generation and My Blog Spark. The challenge was to wash everything in cold and line dry for a month, using Seventh Generation laundry soap. There were all sorts of benefits that I outlined in my last post, and…

Allergen-Free Meat Products Food allergies seem to be getting more and more common as time goes on. Although we are lucky enough not to have any food allergies in our family, others do. I know kids who can’t have wheat, dairy, or nuts to name a few. Because of this, their moms have to be…

Helps for Health Throughout the year, kids and parents are bound to get sick. For some it doesn’t happen very often, for others, it seems to happen a little bit too often. One thing that seems to come back again and again is the common cold. I think my boys had colds more than half…

Exploring the Outdoors Boys and bugs. They just seem to go hand in hand.  At least they seem to with my boys. On top of that, they also love exploring and just being down in the dirt. This is something I’ve had to get used to as I’m not exactly a bug person.  If my…

Healthy Snacks On The Go Summer means on the go, right? At least for us it does. And because we are on the go so much, I almost always have snacks and bottled water for the boys, especially if we are planning an entire afternoon out. Costco offers great summer snacks with health benefits in…

Summer Splashin’ Summer is in full force! We’ve been taking  advantage of the warmer weather and have been spending lots of time outside. While we don’t have a beach nearby, we have our backyard, our rec center pool, and a Noah’s Ark splash area which we frequent. There are all sorts of essentials when it…
