Kids and alcohol don’t mix. Educating our kids about underage drinking is important to me, and so I’m excited to introduce my readers to Grab the Goodies, a free educational app by the Foundation for Advancing Alcohol Responsibility (FAAR).

You Love Your Pets, So Take the #Paws4Life Pledge
This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Purina®. All opinions are 100% mine. Did you know? Pets have proven to increase their owner’s health and happiness while promoting socialization, patience and motivation. That’s pretty awesome!

September Blogging Prompts #blogprompts
I can’t believe it’s already September! The kids are safely (and happily) in school for a new year…and I admit that I am missing all of the time we spent together this summer. One good thing about the school year? I’ve got a little more time to work. I’m still adjusting to being back…

Museum of Natural Curiosity at Thanksgiving Point #PSF
I’ve put off writing this post, not because I didn’t want to, but because I knew that I would have nearly too much to share. Yes, there may be a slight picture overload, but the Museum of Natural Curiosity was so fantastic and we had so much fun over so many visits that I…
Boating on the Potomac River #WW
We never have been that adventurous…but this summer’s time away has changed that. On Labor Day, after a few hours of thrilling house cleaning, we drove out to the Potomac River and did a little boating. Other than the fact that the air was stale and muggy and hot, the afternoon and evening were…
How to Make the Summer Last #JuicyFruitFunSide
I participated in this sponsored campaign on behalf of One2One Network. All opinions stated are my own. My summer was a whirlwind of excitement – road trips, camping, hiking…cousins, grandparents, new friends. School has officially started, but that doesn’t mean that summer time fun has to come to a complete halt. This weekend’s Labor Day…
