This post is sponsored by Hive. All opinions are my own. There isn't a day that goes by where I am not hovering over my children. Taking a step back and letting them do things on their own is difficult for me. I am a worrier and always try to prevent things from happening before they do! When my kids were babies we used video baby monitors. Those video monitors gave me such piece of mind knowing I could see them sleep and watch their movements. Now my kids, well most of ...
San Francisco with kids
A huge thank you to our partners Cartwright Hotel, Visit San Francisco, Wipeout Bar and Grill, San Francisco Zoo, The Creator, The Dorian, and Pier 39! We took the kids to California for the first time this summer! The flight was honestly the only thing that made us anxious to travel. I was so worried how Leighton would do. She hates being still, she loves to run, and she is loud! Well it wasn't the quietest plane ride.. It was Ainsley's first time on a plane! The last time ...
The best mineral based sunscreen for kids that actually works!
Summer is officially upon us! With summer comes a lot of sun, fun, and (hopefully) sunscreen! My two girls both have fair skin and they get sunburned very easily.

A few reasons why I love Blue Lizard: Mineral sunscreen with no oxybenzone or Octinoxate in their Reef Friendly line No. 1 pediatrician ...
The best Summer camera!
This post is sponsored in partnership with the Best Buy influencer Network. All opinions are my own. My kids are constantly wanting to use my phone to take photos. I am afraid of them dropping my phone or worse deleting a precious memory. I know you all have heard of the Canon brand... They are known for more serious photography in the form of DSLR or digital cameras . Until now.... they just came out with the Canon IVY CLIQ & CLIQ+ instant print cameras just in time for ...
The ONE affirmation every mother needs to know
Mamas, listen up right now. You need to read these words. YOU ARE FLAWED & STILL WORTHY. I know it might be extremely hard to really let that sink in. You're tired and haven't washed your hair in days much less your child's. You haven't put the dishes away from 3 days ago. You are being dragged in 5 different directions and are responsible for doing all of the laundry and making sure no one starves. You need to know that you are valuable. You are called and were created to ...
Why I use outdoor filling stations for my family’s water
This post is in partnership with Primo Water. All opinions and thoughts are my own. We all know how important water is for our health, but it's not always clear which is the best option to choose. Yes, it's readily available but is it always safe? I’m sure, like me, you’re seeing an uptick of news reports concerning tap water quality. It’s a lot to figure out so I’m relieved that I have a solution for my family. I discovered that drinking Primo Water is not only safe, ...
