This post has been sponsored by Pedia-Lax®. All thoughts and reviews are my own. Having kids brings all different kinds of things with it. Everything from the happiest memories down to the stuff you really would rather forget - like being sick. Being a mom of four kids has taught me so much about what to expect, but each kid is still different and so you always have to be prepared. That is why today I want to talk about ways to help treat constipation in kids. One thing that seems tabu to talk ...

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 ...
Indoor Activities for Kids
My kids love being outside having fun, but there are days that we just need (or have) to stay in and want to have fun things to try. So we made a big list of fun indoor activities for kids and they got so excited. Sometimes I feel like a failure as a mom because I am just like – read a book or play UNO – which is great for a little while, but not for an extended period of time. I forget that unlike myself, they don’t want to spend a whole day reading (looking forward to 30 years from now when I c ...
Qixels – The Best Tech Free Entertainment for Kids #QixelsWorld
I love tech, don't get me wrong - but it seems like every time I turn around my kids have an electronic device or they are watching TV. I have tried to put time limits on their usage, but they still need more - like something great to play with that will pull them away from their devices, more than once. They have a few toys that they love and play with all the time - and one of those is Qixels (pronounced “Quick-suls”). The one thing I love the most about Moose Toys Qixels is that my kids can do ...
The one thing you never think to add to your child’s travel bags
Traveling with kids. ... There are alot of words that come to mind when I think about this (like loud, whiny, fighting, complaints of always being hungry, thirsty; or having to go potty... just to name a few). I provide what I like to call distractions to keep them entertained and preoccupied until they either fall asleep or we get there. We have coloring books, games, crafts, and other things but what to do when they go through all of it, or it is/gets dark? That is where their Ki ...
Build-A-Bear Workshop Review #thordarkworldevent
I was SOOO excited to take my son to Build-A-Bear Workshop for his birthday. We went to the location in Fashion Place Mall in Murray, UT. The minute we walked through the front entrance you should have seen his face light up with excitement and surprise. He couldn’t wait to run off and grab the first stuffed animal he could get his hands on. The entire store was centered around the “build your own bear theme”. They had hundreds of different types of animals to choose from for building, and the em ...
21 Perfect Easter Basket Fillers for $7 or less
Perfect Easter Basket Fillers for CHEAP (get it...cheap...like a chick...cheap cheap...lol...ok...moving on...). I know I love to add some special things to my kids' Easter Baskets, but we don't have a lot of money to spend on this holiday so we really have to stretch our resources and look for great items online for "cheap" or look for new/lightly used items at consignment sales, thrift stores, or yard sales. Amazon has a great resource for inexpensive items, but some of them come from ...
DIY: Interactive Chore Chart and Organizer
DIY: Interactive Chore Chart and Organizer With my kids getting old enough to help with most of the chores and responsibilities of the house, I have decided to create a way for them for have fun and have a choice. My answer is an Interactive Chore Chart. I took a piece of poster board and cut it into about a 14 inch width then folded it over and tapped it together. I added pockets to the front, helped the kids decorate it with stickers and then we make folders for the inside to track their ...
Teaching your kids to budget
Teaching your kids to budget The tooth fairy, chores, grandma and grandpa, friends, family and a lot of other people will give your child money from the day they are born. We use piggy banks and envelopes and even have a savings account for each of our kids. This helps them understand the importance of why they don't get to run to the store and just spend it. Teaching your kids to budget can be a tough and long process - but it will be well worth the time spent as they get older. Kids don't o ...
