My Daughter’s First Snow Day

We all know that a mother’s life is filled with milestones of her kids. Each as exciting as the last. This January 2018 we were able to check one off the list. My youngest daughter Isabelle experienced her very first snow day… well snow week.

The Day Before The Snow Came

It was January 11 when schools were sending out alerts that they will be closing the next day. Our growing city of Clarksville was getting ready for snow and icy roads. It was almost 70 degrees outside and it was almost

Joobles – A Stuffed Animal That Gives Back

Joobles! A stuffed animal that gives back that you’re kiddos will like is something hard to come across of now a days… but not impossible. I have found the cutest stuffed animals I have ever seen. My daughters absolutely love them and best of all, they help others and are safe for our little ones to hug, squeeze, cuddle, and sleep with. I introduce to you The Joobles. (Doesn’t that name have a cute ring to it too?)

Solar Eclipse 2017 – My Daughter’s Reaction!

The epic solar eclipse of 2017 was one to remember for a lifetime.
Story
Friday afternoon after having picked up my daughter from school she couldn’t help her excitement. I asked her what went on in school and she excitedly told me about how she learned about the solar eclipse and couldn’t wait to see it tomorrow. My daughter is 5 so she doesn’t quiet understand that tomorrow is really tomorrow. To her it’s tomorrow, later, or next week. Once we got home she drew a picture of how the solar eclipse

Healthy Snacks For Kids On The Go

“Mom/Dad, I’m HUNGRY!!!!” Those words make every parent cringe just a little. Especially after they ate 30 minutes ago. They start asking for snacks, something to drink, fruits, candy, chips, you name it. I swear it feels like they burn through those calories 10x faster then we do. Because I have two hungry little girls, I have learned to pack good snacks that will keep them fuller longer and are also healthy for them.

Have you ever gave your child a few animal crackers or even some fruit gummies and wondered

How To Survive A 10 Hour Flight With Little Ones

I was so excited to move to Hawaii back in 2014; new place to live, new memories, and new adventures. When I actually sat down and thought about the trip I didn’t realize that it would be 10 plus hours of flying, driving, and layovers of trips to just go see our family or even move back to the mainland. This is when I realized that flying with little ones was going to be rough. Going to Hawaii or leaving Hawaii my flight was always going to be about 10

Must Haves When Hiking With Kids

Hiking can be so fun especially when going with your little ones. Getting ready for a family outing can be not as much fun though. I always find myself struggling on my packing list (cause we all know with kids its more of a packing list than grabbing your bag and walking out the door). Packing light is usually out of the question as well. After several trials and errors I have finally figured out how to do so. Though I don’t go out as much as I would love
