Disclosure: This is a sponsored post with Honey Bunches of Oats and Sverve. All opinions are mine. My mornings are busy. Getting both kids ready and out the door by 7:20 am is not easy when you are not a morning person. Ugh, will I ever be a morning person? Grab and go breakfast options are necessary in a house like mine that's for sure. My daughter and I are not big breakfast eaters and there are many mornings that she and my Little Man are both eating something in our minivan. … [Read more...]
Feeling Beautiful on a Date with My Hubby!
I participated in this sponsored campaign on behalf of Victoria Jackson® and One2One Network. All opinions stated are my own. Last week, my husband and I had a date. Since dates are few and far between, with a busy job and two young kids, feeling beautiful on my date is a must. I want it to be special. To be honest, most days I don't bother with makeup. If I know I am going to be home all day, it's yoga pants and no makeup. Having a cute outfit and great makeup for a date with the hubster … [Read more...]
Do Your Kids Play Soccer? How About a Soccer Camp?
My daughter loved playing soccer last fall for our local school district. She had a great time and she did very well. We were still homeschooling her at that time.

Have your kids gone to a soccer camp before? British Soccer Camp British Soccer Camp is the most popular camp in North America. You will find … [Read more...]
How You Can Help Pregnant Moms Around the World

Moms, Please Support Moms: Let’s Build Each Other Up
I've said it before. I will say again. Motherhood is hard stuff. The hardest job I've every had and probably will ever have. It is also the most rewarding, isn't it? I am thankful for the support I get in my family, in my community and online from other moms. I feel quite blessed in fact. But it isn't always easy. Two kids and a blog keeps me pretty busy and I miss out on more than I'd like to. Do you have a support community? The US Census Bureau estimates that there are … [Read more...]
I want a crossover SUV! (Mazda CX-9 Review)
My family and I spent a week driving around our small rural county in a beautiful Mazda CX-9. (Or what my two year old affectionately called 'the brown car', and no he didn't want to give it back.) This crossover SUV is amazing! The whole family enjoyed our time reviewing this vehicle. We ran around our small town on this crossover SUV and felt proud to be driving the Mazda CX-9. Most of our grocery shopping is done at Costco and I appreciated the fold down third row seating for all our … [Read more...]
LEGO fan in the house? Make a MiniFigure LEGO Card FREE!
My Princess was given LEGO Friends last year for Christmas. At that time, she wasn't quite into LEGO toys yet. But over the course of one year that completely changed. I think it started when she saw the LEGO television shows were available on Netflix. She loves watching LEGO now. Then, a couple months ago, I saw her pull out her LEGO Friends and start putting together amazing creations from a little book. No one had to help her. She didn't even ask. I was impressed. Now, this Christmas she … [Read more...]
