This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Stride Rite for IZEA. All opinions are 100% mine. Kelsie turned 2 in March so she's almost 2.5 now and she is as talkative and active as can be. She loves shoes that she deems "pretty" which usually means a bright color. She's been really close to changing shoe sizes lately, and big brother Drew is preparing to begin Kindergarden next month so we thought it was a good time for both kids to get new shoes. We headed to Target and Kelsie Read more [...]

According to a quick google search, the average child uses 8,149 diapers from birth to potty training.  That's a LOT of diapers, so choosing a budget-friendly diaper for your little one can save a lot of money that you can put towards other expenses such as groceries, toys or a college fund. I was sent Kidgets diapers from Family Dollar to test out. Kidgets' diapers are available from Family Dollar and they are designed to help leave you with more money in your pocket while providing a great Read more [...]

  Thank you to Magformers for providing me with product, free of charge, in exchange for this honest blog review.  All opinions are 100% my own. My husband and I always joke about how our kids would rather spend their days playing with a box that the toy came in rather than the toy itself.  Even speaking with other parents, this trend is fairly typical.  When our first child was young (maybe 2 or 3), she seriously spend about two months coloring, playing in, and even napping in the box Read more [...]
