I participated in Influencer Activation on behalf of Mom Central Consulting for Baby Mantra. I received product samples to facilitate my review and a promotional item to thank me for participating. During the summer months both of my children get dry skin from our local community pool. Then with the dry weather in the fall and winter I am still dealing with dry and sensitive skin.

The Best Cough and Cold Medicine for Kids!
My daughter had her first official soccer game at the end of last month. The city league for 5-7 year old kids does not count goals but this mom did. And my Princess' team won. But, it was cool that evening and we got some light rain. I needed a coat for sure in this misty Western Washington weather that we're known for. My Princess ran around in her team t-shirt and yoga pants and had a red face and sweat. She got sick. Exactly one week before our trip to Hawaii, my Princess started … [Read more...]
Are Your Kids Refusing to Bathe?
My kids have this whole love/hate thing going on with bath time right now. I don't know if it is just kids in general but they often refuse to get into the tub. Who doesn't like getting clean?

Warmer Weather and Sunshine!
Spring is so close. I love it. We have been enjoying many days of warmer weather and sunshine here in Western Washington. My kids are excited to be back outside. To be honest, I am happy to let them play out back. It is more peaceful in this house this week. Though the sun is out our yard still has soft muddy ground. Which means my kids get dirty. Every day, I am trying to get the dirt out of their nails and spraying dirt and grass stains out of their clothes. I don't mind though. Bring on … [Read more...]
Sleeping Tips for Kids
I participated in a campaign on behalf of Mom Central Consulting for Zarbee’s Naturals. I received product samples and a promotional item as a thank you for participating. Daylight Savings time really did a number on my Little Man. He still hasn't recovered. And guess what? Neither have I, because of it!

In fact, he has … [Read more...]
