Turning a Walk with Kids into an Adventure Walk

I’m sharing our fun adventure walks and snack with Goldfish® Puffs as part of a sponsored post for Socialstars #GoldfishTales

One thing I love doing with the boys is to go on walks. Getting outside, breathing in the fresh air, and enjoying the great outdoors is always a great way for us to relax. There are many different things we like to do on our walks to make them more entertaining, educational, and adventurous.

Picnic Kabob Ideas & Family Fun

We made picnic kabobs and had a fun day under the sun with Banana Boat® as part of a sponsored post for Socialstars #BestSummerEver

Ever since having kids, I go into each summer saying the same thing: This is going to be the best summer ever! And each summer I mean it. I want to have a great time with my family and create the most amazing memories. Each year I have to come up with new things to do and new places to visit.

One week into summer break and whoa. I can’t believe that I forgot how different it is with three kids home all day, every day. With Ethan accustomed to busy school days, I can tell I have my work cut out for me the next few months. Lots of planning, fun activities, and being on-to-go.

Personalized gifts are kind of my thing and I love coming up with creative gift ideas for loved ones. Gifts that are one-of-a-kind and have deep meaning. Ones that can tell a story just by looking at it. Ones that can be gifted at any time throughout the year, holiday or not. It’s all about making loved ones feel special.

Easy Patriotic Rice Krispies Treats

“I participated in a Influencer Activation on behalf of Influence Central for OshKosh B’Gosh. I received an OshKosh B’Gosh gift card to facilitate my post and a promotional item to thank me for my participation.”

I am having a hard time dealing with the fact that this is the last week of school. I feel like Ethan just started Kindergarten a couple of weeks ago and now he is going to be a first-grader. Instead of being sad about how fast time goes by and how quickly the kids are growing up, I have spent the last two weeks getting pumped for summer.

Patriotic Rice Krispies Treats. An easy recipe dessert for kids to make! Great for 4th of July or Memorial Day!

When my oldest started Kindergarten last year, I wasn’t prepared for a lot of things. One of those things happen to be birthday parties. Don’t get me wrong, we attend plenty of birthdays with family and friends, but when your 5 year old wants to go to everyone’s birthday that has a party (with a room of kindergartners), it’s a little different.

Simple DIY Dog Food & Treat Storage Idea

I’m sharing my Cesar® home delights™ dog food storage idea as part of a sponsored series with Socialstars. #CesarHomeDelights

When you have a dog, it’s not just a pet, it’s a family member. Ellie has become a wonderful part of our lives in the last year and a half. Just like everyone else in the house, she has her own preferences. She has claimed her favorite toy, her favorite spot to nap (typically my lap), her favorite treats and of course her favorite foods.
