Help Support Operation Food Search & “You Share. We Share.” Campaign

Today I am sharing some great information about Operation Food Search and their efforts to help heal the hurt of hunger in the St. Louis metro area. Thank you to SocialMoms and SUBWAY® Restaurants for sponsoring this important message to help our local community.

Subway & Operation Food Search

Raising kids that give back to their community is becoming more and more important to me each year. I can tell it is starting to get instilled into their minds by acts of kindness they are initiating on their own. Last week my husband came home from grocery shopping with my four-year-old (which doesn’t happen often). He was impressed that Chase noticed and insisted on purchasing the prepackaged bags available to purchase for donation. Proud mom moment for me.

White Chocolate Strawberry Frozen Yogurt Pops

This recipe for White Chocolate Strawberry Frozen Yogurt Pops is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of Yoplait®. The opinions and text are all mine.

The weather here has been pretty warm the last two weeks: in the upper nineties with a ‘real feel’ over one hundred degrees. With hot temperatures comes the need to cool down quickly. One of our favorite ways to do so is an ice cold snack.

5+ Household Reasons for Using a Spray Cleaner & Degreaser

Today I’m sharing household reason to use a spray cleaner & degreaser as part of a sponsored post for Socialstars. All opinions are my own. #ZepSocialstars

The amount of cleaning supplies I own may seem extreme. The cabinet under the kitchen sink is packed with sprays, scrubs, gels, towels and cleaning tools. I have a bucket with similar items to carry through the house, plus some duplicate cleaners upstairs for convenience.  When cleaning is your happy place & stress-reliever, it just makes sense to stay stocked up.

Sight Words BINGO with Free Printables

I’m sharing sight words Bingo activity with Goldfish® Pretzel as part of a sponsored post for Socialstars #GoldfishTales

Educational activities each day is important for the kids and me. As much as I try to enforce learning, they are one step ahead and are eager to learn new things and practice what they do know. Since the boys are pretty close in age, it makes it easier sometimes because they can all work on the same thing, and often my oldest can teach his brothers a thing or two.

This year I feel like I have been spending a lot more time reflecting on life itself and finding my center. Life sometimes gets so busy, I find I’m stretching myself too thin and not enjoying everything as much as I should. Often, it is my kids that remind me to just have fun or that the little things don’t really matter.

Fourth of July Cupcake Ideas

“I participated in an Ambassador Program on behalf of Influence Central for Holstein Housewares. I received product samples to facilitate this post well as a promotional item to thank me for my participation.”

When I start thinking about holidays, my minds ventures to fun dessert ideas. There’s just something about spending the afternoon in the kitchen with the kids. Laughing and enjoying time together baking & decorating cakes, cupcakes and treats and getting to enjoy them together afterwards.
