This information is sponsored by Jordan’s Guardian Angels, a non-profit organization working with families with special needs children who are challenged with the need to administer a variety of life-saving medication to their children who face many physical and intellectual disabilities. If you’ve ever tried to give a young child medicine, you’ll know that it can be like giving a cat a bath. Anything that helps the medication go down and be more agreeable for your kid is a win. One simple solution is to make medicine more palatable to children by adding child-friendly flavoring. However, the ..read more

Valentine’s Day is right around the corner! I wanted to share the Classroom Valentines we made for Piper and Kenzie’s classes this year. I think they turned out cute, and I know the kids will enjoy playing these cute games! These classroom Valentines were so simple to make, which is always a good thing! We made tic-tac-toe boards for Kenzie’s Valentines and Dots & Boxes game boards for Piper’s class. Kenzie and Piper both love tic-tac-toe. When we are at restaurants, we play all the time. Dots & Boxes is a little too advanced for my 4-year-old, but my 7-year-old is obsessed. I’ve inclu ..read more

Does anyone else have soccer-obsessed kids? My girls play on competitive soccer teams, and soccer is taking over our lives. They’re 7 and 10 years old. I’m not complaining; I love to watch them play. Soccer gets them moving outdoors and keeps them entertained. I can’t say enough positive things about team sports. We put together some great gifts for soccer players for the holiday season. Plus, there’s a great discount for the soccer tracking device PlayerMaker that you won’t want to miss.   Soccer Gifts for the Player *Most images are shoppable.

Can someone tell me how in the world it is already December?! I swear every year goes by faster than the last. This time of year, there is so much going on with holidays, school performances, and parties. Then there’s end-of-the-year work, soccer tournaments, and gift-giving! The holidays are magic when you see them from a child’s perspective. The elf that showed up yesterday brings wonder and excitement. All the sparkling lights and Christmas cookies make the house smell like happiness. I love this time of year, chaos and all! This year I’ve partnered with FAO Schwarz to give you some great h ..read more

This post is sponsored by Jus Rol My youngest daughter is obsessed with cooking and baking. If I start making dinner without her, she gets upset because she always wants to help. She's seven, and I'll gladly let her cook all the meals for our family once she gets a little older. I'm always looking for ways to make cooking easier even when she isn't in the kitchen helping. We've been using Jus-Rol products to make preparing entrees, appetizers, and desserts easier. Cooking together makes making dinner night after night so much more fun! Pizza night may be my favorite night because everyone ca ..read more

Gift-giving gets more complex every year. Probably because my kids have too much stuff already. But I love buying them things that put a smile on their faces, that they will appreciate, and most importantly, that won’t sit in the back of the closet unopened. This year I’m shopping for 10-year-old girl gifts! Another year passed in what feels like a blink of an eye, and I’m about to have a TEN-YEAR-OLD!! Two full hands, double digits! It’s a big birthday. Piper has been very slowly adding things to her birthday wish list. She’s a lot pickier than she used to be. Together we compiled the best 10 ..read more
