This post has been sponsored by Store Brand Formula. All thoughts and reviews are my own. Being a mom means you are up early, to bed late and doing a hundred different things every day to help your kids, house, spouse, pets, friends, family and everything and everyone else. It can all be overwhelming and wear you out quickly if you don't moderate yourself and take time to step back for a minute. You might feel like you can't fit in a simple break, but I am going to share 10 life-hacks for busy ...

Enchantmints musical jewelry boxes + Giveaway
My BABY GIRL just had her 7th birthday. Ahh. I am not sure how I feel about that. But I was very excited about the fun gifts we were able to give her as she grows into a beautiful young lady. The one gift we gave her that she was most excited about was the Enchantmints Unicorn musical jewelry box. This is one of the coolest musical jewelry boxes I have ever seen. It has 4 drawers (1 on each side and 1 on the front and back) as well as the pop top that opens. You twist the knob on the back and ope ...
School lunch made fun with Zak Designs
We received these products for review. All opinions are our own. School started yesterday and with it, all of the fun stuff like packing school lunch, getting backpacks ready, etc. This year the kids are very excited to make their lunches in the mornings because of the fun new sandwich storage containers and water bottles we got from Zak Designs! There are so many different collections to choose from and they had fun picking their stuff out. I let each of my kiddos pick a new water bottle ...
Back to school with Peppa Pig
I can't believe it is already time for the kids to be back in school. It seems like summer just started. All of my kids are in school full time this year, my youngest one in first grade already! I know that she will be amazing and do great things. To get the year started off right, we were very excited when we got a special package in the mail from our friends Entertainment One Ltd.. Kenzie got a new Peppa Pig Backpack, Peppa Pig Lunch Box, Peppa Pig Sunglasses and a new Peppa Pig Book! She ...
Using the SleepBuddy to get your child to sleep through the night in their own room
This post is brought to you by SleepBuddy through MomSelect. All opinions are my own. Getting your kids to stay in their own bed and sleep through the night in their bed can be challenging. I have four kids as many of you know - and each of them has been different. My youngest has been by far my most challenging - wanting to come and climb in bed with mommy and daddy almost every night. One of the biggest things I have found that gets her to stay in her bed through the night is a good night l ...
$50 Sonic Drive-In gift card + $200 DonorsChoose gift card GIVEAWAY
We have partnered with Sonic Drive-In. All opinions are my own. I am excited to bring more awareness to SONIC’s Limeades for Learning campaign. Both of my parents were teachers for 30+ years. My grandparents, and great-grandparents and many of my cousins, aunts, uncles, and friends are educators. My brother is now a principal who taught 6th grade for many years. I know all of the sacrifices, love and hard work that educators put in, and because I know and have seen it first hand, I support it ev ...
LEGO’S make the perfect gift at any age
This post is in partnership with LEGO. All opinions are my own. We received complimentary product. Christmas is almost here. I have been doing shopping and wrapping presents to try and stay ahead of the game. At the top of my kids' lists this year, are LEGO sets. My kids love hands-on activities and building and so I am always happy to support those great talents with building sets from LEGOS. For Christmas we got my son the LEGO Thor vs. Hulk Arena Clash set and for my daughter, we got the LEGO ...
PBS Plug & Play is the perfect Christmas gift
We received a unit for review. All opinions are my own. My kids love watching PBS, but we don't have cable and out antenna doesn't pick up too much. I have an app on my phone and on my tablet that they love to hi-jack and watch whenever they can, so I was almost as excited as my kids when we found out about the PBS Plug & Play. The Plug & Play is a device that plugs right into your TV through the USB port and connects to your wi-fi. It does have to also be plugged into a power outlet. ...
Sick Day Kits for Kids
This post has been sponsored by Pfizer Consumer Healthcare. All thoughts and reviews are my own. This time of year means that we are gearing up to fight off the sick germs that frequently circulate through our home. My kids are in public school as well as participate in dance, music, sports, and other activities so this means they are not only exposed to a lot of germs but also bring them home. I try my best to teach them to wash their hands frequently, use sanitizer when available and not to t ...
LeapFrog Academy Review
We received a free subscription to LeapFrog Academy through our LeapFrog Ambassadorship. All opinions are my own. My kids love their screen time, and while I don't mind them having it, I try to make it educational when I can. With that being said, I am always looking for fun new education programs and games for my kids to use and that is when I was introduced to the new LeapFrog Academy. It is a new "interactive, educational world for 3-6 year olds that's a perfect balance of learning and fu ...
