This post is sponsored by Everywhere Agency on behalf of Primrose Schools; however, all thoughts and opinions expressed are my own Imagine two pre-school age children wanting the same toy. Those children need to use teamwork and problem solving to work out their differences. And teamwork and problem solving are just two of the important executive function skills that Primrose Schools recently shared with me. What are executive function skills? They're basically a set of skills we ...
What I’ve learned from having 2 girls.
This post was sponsored by Cubbie Lee Toys. All thoughts and opinions are 100% my own. I honestly never thought I would have two girls. Jerod and I thought we'd only have two children. That wasn't the case. Ainsley gave us a run for our money. She's a feisty, loving, red-head! She is super hard headed but has a beautiful, tender heart. She doesn't like confrontation at all and will run and hide instead talking about what she did wrong. She is very personable and will talk to anyone ( ...
How I get my kids to play {outside}
Play time should be a time of interacting, imagining, creating, pretending, and so on! So many children are glued to screens and I am guilty of letting my kids play on the iPad when I have work to get done and can't take them outside or play with them right at that moment.

Natural Ways to Ease Baby Gas Pain!
Thank you Mommy's Bliss for sponsoring this post! All opinions are 100% my own! Your baby is crying and you can't figure out why.

She'd cry for a minute and then stop. I could just tell her little tummy was hurting her. After I fed her I gave her some Mommy's Bliss gas relief ...
Nutrition on-the-go!
Breakfast is something I don't eat very often. Actually never during the week. I wake up and feed Leighton and then I make my coffee. I start my work day pretty early. I actually start it when I am feeding Leighton around 2 a.m. I respond to emails and reply to comments on social media during that time. I usually don't put any food into my stomach until lunch! I know I should eat breakfast but I get so consumed in my work I forget to. Well that's where Dannon® Light & Fit® ...
A busy mom’s cleaning schedule!
Thank you so much Grab Green for sponsoring this post! All opinions are 100% my own. Cleaning is something I am not a fan of. There are a select few who might really enjoy it. I, on the other hand do not. When I taught 1st grade I was not home all day and would have to pick up after the kids were in bed and on the weekends. We had a cleaning lady come once a month to do the deep cleaning. I simply did not want to devote any extra time to cleaning since I was gone all ...
