As you've seen in many past posts we've done, we believe highly in associating ourselves with others in the community and with groups that like to help others and give back. It takes people like YOU to come together and help others that need it. We have personally worked with many groups to provide food, essentials, and school supplies to those in need. One such group that we love to talk about here on Mama Luvs Books is the National Boys … [Read more...]
When I am deciding what to cook for dinner or what to make when I'm entertaining, I think of three things.... 1. Is it quick and easy?? I can be definitely be ambitious sometimes, especially when it comes to throwing a party, but when it comes to cooking with 3 little girls, quick is the name of the game. 2. Can both adults AND kids eat it? I am totally over making multiple meals for me and my husband and then my girls. If I'm making … [Read more...]
I am new to using the Finds app on my iPhone, but I am loving it already. This app helps you to see things your friends are buying and recommending. This is the perfect app for shoppers that love sharing their styles and finds with others. How does it work? Well, it's fairly simple! You just take original photos of new things you buy, type in a description of the items, and then the app will automatically link your photos to where they are … [Read more...]

I just read the cutest children's book called Perry the Pigeon and the Case of The Missing Scones, by Jan Soolman. This book came for me to review at the perfect time, as I will be heading to London myself in a couple weeks. The book takes places in London and begins with a poor baker named Thomas Goodheart that makes the best baked goods in the city, but because he's so new and has a small bakery nobody notices his shop. He is behind on rent, … [Read more...]
As a full-time working mom now, it is more important than ever to focus on not only the health my my kids, but also on my health as well. I usually put my kids first, because that's just what moms do. I realize now that I need to focus on me too! If I get sick, then I will need to take off time from work to recover, and I will need to take care of my kids still too! There are no sick days for moms! Taking care of your kids when you are under the … [Read more...]
