This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Lunchables. All opinions are 100% mine. My kids have never been huge fans of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. They would prefer either a cooked meal (Like mac and cheese. I know, I know…does that even count as a cooked meal?) OR they want…

Facebook Guide for Parents
Facebook is Your Child’s Online Playground…Are You Watching? Sex, Drugs… Now Facebook? Yes, it’s true. Now there is ONE MORE thing we, as parents, have to have “the talk” about. Technology has brought many wonderful things into our lives. We have monitors that let us watch our babies while they sleep. We can TIVO our…
Batman and the UPS Man: Heros
The other day, an enormous package came in the mail while the big kids were in school. How often do kids get surprises like this from the UPS man (who, by the way, happens to be AJ’s hero)? Not very often. (Just for fun, I found this old post, from October 2008. AJ is dressed…
Date Night

Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel
This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Alvin and the Chipmunks. All opinions are 100% mine. In early December, when we announced to the kids that we were going to be spending the holidays in Florida with Nana and Grandpap, everyone was excited. The only hesitation came from KitKat, who lamented…
Energy-Saving Halogen Light Bulbs from Sylvania
I like to think of myself as a relatively eco-friendly person. I recycle every bit of paper that comes through my house, re-use water bottles, take out three bins-worth of recyclables each week, turn off lights when not in use, etc. I’ve been practicing these simple earth-friendly habits since I was a teen living in…
Zippity Doos Children’s Hair Care Giveaway
* GIVEAWAY CLOSED * Winner is Jennifer (motherofall6 on twitter)! One of the fears I have always had as a mother sending my children to school was that they’d come home with lice. And there wouldn’t be anything I could do about it. Kids share coats and hats. They braid each other’s hair during recess…
