I’ve partnered with Johnson’s Baby and The Motherhood to bring you information on the new product formulations. All thoughts and words are my own.

From the moment I found out that I was pregnant, I started making plans for how I would care for and protect my child.  A few immediate changes were made – extra vitamins, for example.  Others were worked on over the course of my pregnancy, like purchasing items to keep her safe and happy after she was born.

Once I finally laid eyes on her beautiful face, I knew that I was only at the beginning of what was sure to be a long list of plans and promises.  I would be responsible for every aspect of her life: physically, mentally, emotionally.  The biggest promise I made to her was to simply do my best by her and pour my love into her.

Austin graduated from high school this year and is now starting the next chapter in his life. We always worry about our kids when they take that big first step into independence: what they’ll be doing, if they’ll be eating right, how they end up handling a budget and managing their money. It can be a shock to your system when things like shampoo, deodorant, and snacks don’t magically appear when they run out.

Last weekend Ashley returned home from training in Oklahoma and promptly left roughly nine hours later to drive to Indianapolis to move into her new apartment.  It was going to be a whirlwind day and so we decided to wait to drive up and see her new place this weekend.  This gave her a chance to get settled in a little, figure out what she was still missing and needed us to bring, and make a list of projects for hubby and his toolbox.

Her apartment is really cute.  My husband and I both both commented that it was way bigger than either his or my first apartment.  She should be really comfortable there and seems to have nice neighbors. Continue reading »

It wasn’t that long ago that I was returning home from the grocery store and witnessed something that truly scared me.  As I pulled off our side street onto the main road, I watched a car drive by ahead of me.  The girl was clearly texting as she was basically driving with her wrists as she typed on her phone, and the car was swerving back and forth.

I pulled out two cars behind her and kept an extra-watchful eye on the road.  In situations like that, things can change in a minute, and I wanted to be alert enough for both of us.  Which was a good thing, because a few moments later she as she continued to text, she crossed the center line and nearly hit a trailer truck head-on.

We live in a very connected world.  As a blogger, I’m probably even more connected than some, as my phone is never far away.  But when you get behind the wheel, you need to be responsible and consciously decide to drive. Continue reading »

Being my “favorite helper” has become a part-time job for Bubbles. It doesn’t matter what I’m doing, she wants to be right there with me. Which is fine with me!

One of her favorite ways to help is in the kitchen. Anything she can stir, pour, shake, roll, whatever – she wants to help do it. So when HABA offered to send over some of their adorable silicone molds for us to play with, I couldn’t say no.

Summer-Themed HABA Silicone Molds: Cake, Cupcakes, Popsicles, Ice Cubes

Bubbles practically squealed with delight when they showed up. Some of her favorite shapes were represented: princess crowns, flowers, sea creatures, and more. She immediately started giving me her suggestions on what we could make, including cakes, popsicles, maybe even molded ice cream. Continue reading »
