I am a member of the Invisalign Mom Advisory Board and my daughter, Necco, is currently receiving her treatment for free. When Necco started her Invisalign Teen treatment a few months ago, she had a perfect resource for information and advice: her older sister. My oldest daughter, Kim, is away at college now but…

10 Tips to Stay Healthy During Cold and Flu Season #HealthierHome
I am proud to be a 3M-sponsored blogger. Opinions are my own and additional products used in the project were selected by me. The kids are well-established in the new school year (it still feels “new” to me) and that means one thing…yep, AJ is home coughing up a storm. It’s not a coincidence…
Dr. Cocoa – From Coughs to Smiles #DrCocoaReliefWithASmile

Sponsored Video: The Case of the Scary Mom (and Dad)
This post was sponsored by Chloraseptic but all thoughts are my own. Coughs, runny noses, sore throats…they seem to come with the season. This winter has been particularly brutal with the temperatures well below freezing for days on end. There’s nothing worse than dealing with a little one who is sick, unless it is…
