Thank you to Nutrisystem for providing me with products in exchange for this honest blog review. All opinions are 100% my own. What's the hardest part about eating healthy, for you? This week, I was asked this very question. My answer was ..."sticking to it when my family is eating unhealthy foods." My family does great throughout the week. We all eat a healthy dinner together. On the weekends, I turn the kitchen over to my husband (when he is home.) He eats with his eyes...if it looks good, he Read more [...]

Thank you to onanoff for sending product for review in exchange for my honest opinion.

Our kiddos play games daily.  Whether card games, board games, or even made up outdoor games, they are constantly playing together utilizing a variety of games.  Since game playing was such a big thing for me when I was growing up, I'm happy that our kids also enjoy the same.  Since the beginning of this year, our two older boys' love of card games has increased as well so you'll find the three of us at the table several times a week engaging in a game of 500 Rummy, Skit, or Crazy 8s.  Because Read more [...]

Thank you to the Therapy Shoppe for providing product in exchange for review purposes. All opinions belong to me.  As I have mentioned in previous posts, in order to help my children self regulate their strong emotions we have a calm down area in our home.

The tent provides a bit of privacy as well as visual and auditory shut out from the rest of the house's hustle Read more [...]
