Live, Laugh, Learn
I participated in a campaign on behalf of Mom Central Consulting (#MC) for CaringBridge. I received a promotional item as a thank you for participating. Have you heard of CaringBridge? It's a great way to keep up with people that have health issues and to hear their progress. I have used it for years to keep up with my friend's niece who is very ill. It's a great way to send her support messages and to read the online journals and see how her … [Read more...]
Are you wondering what I'm talking about? I know it must sound a bit strange. I've had constant lower back pain for the past few years, with debilitating episodes that have now become increasingly worse. On Halloween night, I ended up not even able to really walk because I was in so much pain. It happened at BlogHer this year too, and when I was in New York most recently. My blogging friends can tell you I was crying in pain at the end of the … [Read more...]
Disclaimer: I received Glitzi Globes and The Trash Pack Series to pass out at Halloween; however, all opinions are mine and mine alone. This year for Halloween we handed out Glitzi Globes and The Trash Pack Series instead of candy! It was definitely a hit with the kids that came trick-or-treating! We heard kids yelling to their parents as they walked away from our door, "I got a Trash Pack!" Those were a hit with both the younger and older kids … [Read more...]

Disclaimer: I received the Tagamoto to review; however, all opinions are mine and mine alone. I have a new toy to add to our Holiday Gift Guide for 2013 and this is DEFINITELY one you don't want to miss! It's called Tagamoto by the makers of Hexbug (who you know we adore). It is truly one of the coolest toys I've seen in a long time! There are many reasons my kids love it, and many reasons that I love it as well. First of all, what is … [Read more...]
So, my kids come home every single day singing, "What Does the Fox Say?" I decided I better do some research for myself. Were they singing a song with bad words? Is there a sexual meaning behind this song? I don't want them singing anything inappropriate in school. After some digging, I found that the video/song was truly very innocent from what I could tell. It is really just asking about what noises foxes make. In fact, I think the … [Read more...]
Taking time to really be there for your kids is so important. You all know I was a stay-at-home mom for years, and now I am a work-at-home mom with full-time hours. I am still working on finding my balance, but it is so important to find time to really be there for your kids. Of course before my full-time job, I had ALL the time in the world to devote to volunteering. I took positions in Moms Club, New Neighbors Club, helped with the PTG, and I … [Read more...]
