Domeo Tri-Lounge 3 Sided Lap Desk for iPad When I recently won an iPad online, I was foolish enough to think that it was going to be my iPad. My intentions were that no little fingers were going to be touching or carrying my new shiny baby. I had dreams of curling up on the couch to play a quiet game while the children played with their LeapPad, of not having a screen full of children’s games or tiny fingerprints all over my screen. That … [Read more...]

The Easter Bunny is SORRY Tour | Unjunk Your Easter Basket Candy I was so incredibly happy to hear about this story I just had to share.

Kids and Medication Safety | Prevention For Safe Kids Worldwide It was about 18 years ago, but I can still remember it like it was yesterday. It was a busy morning... Dad had already left for work and I was busy getting myself together and Kaytlin ready for her day with her babysitter. She was only three, but a very smart and curious three. Our family had gone through a round of colds so the Dimetapp was in an easy to access spot in the bathroom … [Read more...]

Sophia caught Ellen’s attention when she posted a YouTube video, along with her cousin Rosie, singing ”Super Bass” by Nicki Minaj. Unable to contain her excitement about her singing idols and the … [Read more...]

Refresh Your Frames | Walgreens Photo App My daughter and I were having a conversation a few weeks ago about how I have dozens of photo albums with prints of her and her brother as babies, but nothing with Emma and Ethan.

When my … [Read more...]
