If you had asked me years ago whether I'd take a toddler to Disney World, I probably would have laughed at you and said "no way!". But, as luck would have it, we had the opportunity to take our kids to Disney when Harper was four and Lincoln had just turned two, and it was an incredible experience. In fact, each subsequent Disney trip has been compared to the first! If you're on the fence, I wanted to share nine reasons to take your toddler to Disney World, because in my opinion it's 100% worth it. A Read more [...]

It's summer which means it's time for some fresh salmon recipes! Recently I made a Tuscan sundried tomato salmon recipe and it was so good that I had to share. 

Tuscan Salmon Recipe
Our kids love salmon so we try to eat it at least once a week. Wild caught salmon is full of vitamins and nutrients and it tastes great, too! This recipe incorporates a variety of savory flavors and is a way for me to get our kids to eat spinach willingly which is just a bonus! You start by patting the salmon dry Read more [...]

Thanks to Stanley for sending me these great Father's Day gifts. As always, all opinions are my own.

What kind of fathers do you have in your life? Both my dad and my husband are very outdoorsy, camping-type guys and I love it; they both make for great adventuring partners! Last year it was our goal to camp as a family at least a few times even though our summer weekends fill up so fast. We had so much fun that we decided to do that again this year, and I realized we were in need of a few more Read more [...]

Thank you to Stonz for sending products for review in exchange for my honest opinion. 

Here in the upper midwest we are having temperatures normally reserved for July and August and they began in early June. Thankfully, I was able to partner with Stonz, and review their Sunsuit and Shoreline Shoes. Now, I don't need to slather my little red-headed guy with sunscreen from head to toe! As you can see the Sun Suit is a little big on my 2.5 year old. He usually wears a 24 month/2T right now, Read more [...]

Thanks to Nixplay for sending me this frame. As always, all opinions are my own. 

With Father's Day and summer holidays right around the corner, it's time to get those last minute gifts! My husband is incredibly difficult to shop for because he never "needs" anything. This year, I decided to gift him with a digital picture frame from Nixplay with photos from all of our family trips. He works so hard so that I'm able to stay home with our kids while they're young, and that's invaluable to Read more [...]
