My kitchen drawers are filled with Box Tops. It’s practically the end of summer now and we are ready to make our back-to-school donations! As a mother of 5 kids in school, I have been a huge believer in collecting and donating Box Tops for our schools, and my kids are just as excited about…
I’d Buy Kids Clothes in Bulk – But I Settle for Really Good Sales
Hi, it’s Katja from Skimbaco, I’m thrilled to be guest posting about back to school shopping here! I really mean it what I said in the title; I’d buy kids clothes in bulk if I could, and in fact I did for a long time. Skimbaco used to be a children’s clothing boutique, but I…
Fijit Friends Playdate
Last week, I drove my kids up to my sister’s house for a special playdate. This was no ordinary playdate. This one included colorful necklaces and bracelets (one of which caused a mid-afternoon melt-down that made my niece absent from a bunch of the shots…), lots of music, a sparkly microphone, and two Fijit Friends™…
I Wish I Was Heading to BlogHer
….kind of. I had a blast last year with my two fantastic roomies, Amy and Safire. I met a ton of great bloggers, connected with dozens of brands, brought home a suitcase full of awesome swag, and enjoyed more parties in one weekend than I usually do in a year. Plus, I participated in my…

Mrs. Peter’s Birthday Cake Recipe
One of my kids’ all-time favorite children’s books is a picture book called The Seven Silly Eaters by Mary Ann Hoberman. I checked it out from the library years ago, and in a completely out-of-character move on my part, ran to the book store to buy it for ourselves. We loved it THAT much. Synopsis…
Baby With Boa – Photostory Friday
There is something wonderful about family members having babies. I can almost envision the joy I am going to feel once I become a grandma. I loved my babies. I LOVED the baby stage. But babies are WORK. Nieces, on the other hand, are just plain FUN. I just drove home from another whirlwind-of-a-summer-trip to…
Tips for a Positive Work-at-Home Summer with Kids
Summer as a work-at-home mom Summer time can be hard for two work at home parents, but I have been pleased with all that we’ve been able to fit in as a family. Camping trips, visits to and from family, and lots of afternoons at the pool… Yesterday, I packed the kids up in the…
Brother Bonding Time – Wordless Wednesday #linky
This morning, while I was working on my computer, the boys climbed on my bed, pulled out the laptop, and bonded over JumpStart. These photos are untouched, straight out of my camera. When I saw the boys sitting on my bed with the morning sunlight coming in through the window, I thought of this week’s…
