Sometimes parenthood baffles me. And by sometimes, I mean all the time.
Whether we are ready or not, Back to School season is upon us. Schools send us a long list of supplies that are needed and then we all run to the store, en masse, to squeeze into the aisles, desperately wrestling that last folder out of another parent’s hand. It’s enough to drive anyone crazy….
Regardless of what grade your children are in, going back to school can be a hectic time. First, you have to find the best back to school deals while going back to school clothes shopping. And make sure you only get cute back to school supplies or suffer the wrath of your kids. Then you have…
The first day of school can be a scary thing. New teacher, new classmates, and new things to learn. And if it’s a completely brand new school, too, it’s that much more nerve-racking. You don’t know your way around or know anyone. It’s enough to make even the most confident child lose some confidence. It…
This post is sponsored by Discover Boating but the content and opinions expressed here are my own. According to a Discover Boating survey, 84% of parents think their kids would be more likely to unplug on a boat trip versus a road trip. Which makes sense when you think about what there is to see during…
This post is sponsored by Cord Blood Registry ® (CBR ®), but the opinions expressed here are my own. As parents, we always worry about our kids. We want the very best for them, now and in the future. That is why I wish I had known about cord blood banking before my son was…
This post is sponsored by Pull-Ups but the content and opinions expressed here are my own. We are knee-deep into potty training Ethan. During the day he goes to the bathroom about 95% of the time. The other times are when his schedule has changed or he’s constipated and worried it will hurt when he…
With more than 25 resorts and resort hotels located on the Walt Disney World property, amenities tend to get a bit confusing. For many guests these amenities are simply surprise perks. But, if you’re someone who books accommodations based on the extras, this information is just for you. Please note. This post is a very…
It’s no secret that some kids are either scared of or just don’t like Disney World rides. We made the mistake of taking Ethan onto Thunder Mountain and Dinosaur. Since then he has been scared to go on any rides. Even Peter Pan. If this sounds like someone in your family, don’t panic! There’s lots…
In the mind of a child, Disney is all about the characters, the rides, the food, and the princesses. (and maybe that’s in the minds of all of us adults as well!) And while we all know that there are a ton of great things to do and see at Disney, if your little one…
If you are taking a Disney Cruise soon, you should know that you will have a host of activities waiting for you! And since you will be on the ship anywhere from 3-7 days, you will want to make sure you fit in as much as you can and make the most of your experience!…
It’s almost that time of year. Where the leaves change colors, it gets cooler out. Oh wait, I live in Florida. Nevermind. One thing you don’t miss out on, regardless of where you live is Halloween. I love seeing the little ones showing off their costumes like they just won the lottery. To help them…
As the days become colder, you spend more time indoors and that can lead to cabin fever if you aren’t prepared. We gathered over 100 fall crafts and activities for toddlers and preschoolers that are sure to keep everyone busy! Bring some of nature inside to learn colors or create nature with salt dough if…
Ethan starts preschool this coming year and I thought it would be great to help him out with some free back to school printables. It’s going to be quite an adjustment from daycare so having checklists and lunchbox jokes and the like will help smooth the transition. These free back to school printables are a…
We received a PlaSmart PlasmaCar in exchange for an honest review of the product. All opinions are 100% my own. Seeing as it is summer pretty much year-round here in Florida, we need something to entertain the boys outside on the weekends. Something that was easy to play with that would keep them active. My…
We are so excited to that Incredibles 2 is coming out on June 15, 2018! Why, you ask? Because it’s only been 14 years since the first one, but it’s also Ethan’s birthday! We haven’t taken him to the movies yet because he’s constantly on the move and not quite sure he will sit still…
