Every year I feel like the holidays just sneak up on me. I'm going about my day all summer long, enjoying the nice weather and then BAM!

Top 8 Best Toys for Christmas
Every year we ask ourselves this question. What do I get the kids for Christmas? What kind of present will they like, want, need? It doesn't need to be your own kid. I ask the same thing about my nieces and nephews and get the same questions from the grandparents. I am on the ball this year. After some sleuthing and a little bit of eavesdropping in on my younger family members I know exactly what the kids in their age brackets seem to want the most. Let me break down what toys I've found they want into groups by age and sex. 5 to 6-Year-Old Boys 1) The Rusty Rivets Keep Reading

This post is sponsored by Venta Airwasher. All opinions are 100% my own. Ya’ll. Today I want to write about something I’ve been meaning to talk about for quite a while. Seasonal allergies and allergies in general have plagued me my entire life. Whenever I’ve lived in a home with carpet, my allergies have given me problems.

Earlier this year, we decided to go on a rampage against the allergens in our carpet, and I want to write about this so you can see how it’s possible to go from Keep Reading

Delicious & Affordable Beef Recipes for the Whole Family
This post was sponsored The Beef Checkoff and brought to you by The Motherhood. All opinions and stories are my own. Lately I've been in a big dinner rut. Between working, the house and parenting, I find it easy to just grab something from the prepared foods at the grocery store and let the kids go to town on it. Do you feel me on this? We've all been there before. Last week I looked at one of those same dishes and it made my stomach turn a little. I think I've burned myself out on them. As I strolled past the meat section a large piece of chuck roast caught my attention. Well, Keep Reading
Family Game Night – Quality Time Now, Quality Memories for Life
We took a poll in the house recently, and the kids have spoken. More game nights are happening! We always have a great time on game nights, and we're going to start doing them on Thursdays or Fridays because those are evenings when the kids don't have activities or any homework. I'm so excited to get this tradition started. Good Luck, Kids They're going to learn real fast that I really get into it. Maybe I shouldn't be so competitive... but I can't help it! I know they're just children, but they asked for it. :D Besides, they all have same competitive streak that I do. They're a group Keep Reading
Why I Chose To Be a Stay-at-Home Parent
This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of Northwestern Mutual. The opinions and text are all mine. This is one touchy subject. Everyone has their own reason for transitioning to a stay-at-home mom or dad. No one reason is a better than another; I only have my own experience to go by. On Becoming a Stay-at-Home-Mom This is actually my second time going to at-home status. With my first son, it came about because we were a military family that moved around the country a lot. It was easier on our son for me to stay with him, than to move him from sitter to sitter (or Keep Reading
The Best Indoor Toy for Rainy Days
This post was sponsored by Duracell as part of an Influencer Activation for Influence Central. This week has been a very, very rainy one. My kids have been getting a little stir crazy, which in turn makes me a little stir crazy as well. Normally on one of these late summer rainy days, we go outside and play in the mud, but we have had a recent invasion by fire ants and the yard is like a minefield! We needed something to do that didn't involve sitting in front of a TV for hours on end. I like it when my kids use technology. They will need it for the rest of their lives. If they can get the Keep Reading
7 Hobbies You Can Do With Your Elementary School Age Kids
I love doing activities with my kids. I mean I absolutely love it. I like to find hobbies we can all do together so I don’t have 3 different projects going on at one time. When I see their little faces light up and hear their giggles as they craft away the day, I can say to myself, “Finally! I’m getting good at this.” Making Time For Family Fun Finding the time in a busy week to gather the family together is the hardest part. Work, school, sports, and birthday parties always seem to be in the picture. While those things are inevitable and important, when I think about my childhood, those Keep Reading

Cleaning my house is such a pain, and I don't know how it gets so dirty anyway. The only mess I honestly make is in the kitchen when I cook. Other than that, I know it's a children thing.
