I received product from Arcopédico to facilitate this post.  As always, all opinions are my own. Snow, rain, and sleet.  That's the kind of weather we are still experiencing here in Minnesota, even though we're into March already!  As a child, I was never thrilled that my birthday was in March.  Most years, even if it was sunny out, the slush and mud was too much for anyone to go outdoors.  Now even as an adult, I'd definitely choose a warmer birthday month if I could.   So to help survive Read more [...]

I received product from Casio to facilitate this post.  All opinions, as always, are my own. Music is so important.  Studies have shown the benefits of music reach far in wide, in a variety of situations.  It's encouraged to play music to babies in utero.  And calming music for an infant or child can help keep emotions on track.  Not to mention, I've even read studies about how playing piano is great for brain development.  And even adults can benefit from music. So in conjunction with Read more [...]

I received product from pediped to help facilitate this review post.  As always, all opinions are my own.

Why pediped Footwear Is Best Since its founding in 2004, pediped footwear has become one of the largest and fastest growing children’s shoe brands.  Moms, Read more [...]

Thank you to LilGadgets for sending me product. As always, all opinions are my own. We're planning a trip to the west coast this spring, and we are SO excited! I've never been Seattle or the Portland area before, and my husband hasn't since he was a teenager. We're really looking forward to this trip, but as you can imagine, planning travel with two kids under six can be tough. Not only do we have all the packing and car seat safety to consider, we're also thinking about how to make the three Read more [...]
