NeatCheeks Are Oh So Sweet!

So recently the makers of NeatCheeks sent me a sample packet of their yummy wipes. Yes yummy! The concept of NeatCheeks wipes were created by an accidental discover of Danielle Stangler. Her story is quite amusing and ingenious at the same time. While out at a restaurant with her family, her 2 year old daughter's face had become quite cheesy and needed to be cleaned. Danielle knew her daughter did not like her face to be wiped but she also knew she did not want to walk out with a cheesy daughter.  Danielle asked her husband to dip a napkin in what she assumed to be water. After realizing that her daughter did not put up a fight while getting washed and also referred to it as being "nummy" she soon found out the reason why. It was not water but lemonade on the napkin. Thus NeatCheeks were born! NeatCheeks is an innovative wipe that tastes sweet yet still gets the job done! These wipes are not only great for cleanup but are also made with all naturally fl

Guest Blog Alert! A Memorable Summer On A Budget

For those families who are excited about what summer has to bring, watching the budget is often a big concern. When the cost of traveling is simply out of arms reach, parents should plan to make the most out of their summer staycation time . Being a little bit creative can go a long way, especially when it's often the only option. Parents should make certain that all of the picnic and day trip gear is up to date and at the ready. When short trips and sunny days at the park will be frequent, being prepared will make it that much more enjoyable. A cooler that will accommodate the whole family, plenty of functional chairs, and disposable plates and utensils should always be ready to go. Checking with area amusement parks and other local attractions will generally pay off. Discount passes for frequent visits, or price breaks for large families are usually available. Some credit card companies also offer cash back promotions at amusement parks like Six Flags .Inviting

Guest Blog Alert! Diaperpedia App

Stuff happens.   As a parent, it's sure to have happened to you.   It happened to us on Christmas Eve.   We were in a local consignment store searching for a baby carrier to make it easier to get out of the house, when our one month old son had a diaper blowout.   With no changing table for customer use, the store owner kindly offered for us to change the diaper on one of the bassinets that was for sale (we put down a large waterproof pad).   I love this store, but it's tiny and packed with merchandise, so I was jittery the entire time, sure that my son would pee at any moment (as he loved to do when we took off his diaper) and we'd need to purchase a whole lot more than a baby carrier.   Thankfully we were able to avoid changing our baby on the floor and get a clean diaper back on him without incident.   Little did we know, however, the coffee shop across the street had a baby changing table where we could have changed our baby's diaper.   Whether it be new parent

Summer Survival Tips for Mom

Summer is here and so are all the things that come with it! Swim lessons, t-ball, summer camps, vacations, birthday parties, family reunions, a house full of strange kids, and the list go on! Summer is an exciting time but it doesn't come without a price.  During the school year while the kiddos are away we as mothers work whether at home or for a company. Summer vacation tends to upset our regular schedule by having to adjust our duties in accordance with our children. Here are a few summer survival tips that have worked for me and other moms I know: Get prepared! Plan ahead and be prepared for summer vacation have an organized schedule of activities for your kiddos to do, in order to keep them busy and limiting interruptions. Also, plan your summer meals ahead as well. Plan for easy summer meals such as hot dogs and burgers that can be cooked on top of the stove or outside on the grill. Why even bother using that scorching oven this summer! Don't stress! Easier s

FabKids.com Review

I have been a member of FabKids for a few months. Fabkids.com is a unique clothing and accessory club for your little girlies! When I first came across the online club I was so excited to get started and purchase my first order for my daughters. The fact that the monthly cost is $39.95 for a a top and bottom was a bit of a let down, but I felt that the added bonus of a hair accessory compensated slightly. How it works? You log onto FabKids.com and create a "style profile" by taking a quiz. This is in order for the stylists to have a better idea of the type of outfits you and your daughter will like. Each month your daughter will have her "own"styled outfits and you select one for $39.95. Like most online clubs, you do have the option to skip a month should you decide you don't want to spend $39.95 that month; or if there aren't any outfits that are quite right. The outfits on FabKids are uniquely designed with sometimes radical style choices in mind. Th

Despicable Me 2 Review by a Not-so-expert!

This 4th of July weekend I took my daughters to see Despicable Me 2. At first I was a bit reserved to take them being that the rating was PG but I realized I was overthinking things after I seen the movie. The movie is a sequel to the 2010 animated film Despicable Me.  Despicable Me 2 focuses on Gru (Steve Carell) and his relationships or lack thereof. Gru is now a loving father and "good" guy; and although he is in a much better place there is still a void.  When I first heard that Gru falls in love, I thought the entire movie would be dedicated to him and his love-life.  This however was not the case.  The directors did a great job of mixing all aspects of Gru in this film. His role as a father, leader to his minions, his love-life, and his now "good" guy role are all intertwined to deliver a comedic, heart-warming film that my girls and I truly enjoyed. Aside from the fact that my 5 year old has to go to the potty and my 2 year old decided to have her own s

Cereal Killer

Recently, I was at the grocery store shopping with my kiddos and we came across the cereal isle. Why does it always seem like they go right for the cereal that is load with sugar? Because of this... I have become known as the "cereal killer" because I "kill" their dreams of getting the cereal they want. Yeah, it's only cute when my 5 year old says it I guess. I tend to go for what my 5 year old calls the "boring cereal", such as Honey Nut Cheerios, Corn Flakes, or Raisin Bran. But on this particular day my 5 year old caused me to conduct "cereal research" when asked "why are Trix so bad?" I am sure the majority of you are aware of what I am about to explain, but this was super surprising to me! So I thought I would share... General Mills has marketed its "with whole grain first ingredient" banner on their cereal for quite some time now. I will admit that up until recently I have never really taken notice of the up

And Baby Makes 3

I think back to when my 5 year old was first born. I must say it was truly a special time, saturated with some new experience daily. I can recall the very first night of her arrival; she slept through the entire night! I remember thinking, "Wow this is going to be a breeze!” Yeah, well definitely not the case. The next night...and every night thereafter, my sleep had become more like random spurts of unconsciousness. My husband (then boyfriend) and I were so sleep deprived that we envied the rest of the world, knowing they were nestled snuggly in their beds; while we took turns changing diapers and feeding our newborn. Truth be told, I even resented my husband at times as I would look over and see him sleeping so soundly! My husband and I have this unspoken game (I like to call it “sleep roulette”) in which we pretend to be in such a deep sleep, that we do not hear our daughter’s crying. That way, the other parent will get up and change a diaper, make a bottle, or give a glass o
