Team USA Is Inspiring My Daughter To Reach For Her Dreams

This is a sponsored post with P&G and SheSpeaks. All opinions are my own. One of the things I love about watching the Rio 2016 Olympic Games with my kids is that I get to see the amazement on their faces watching their favorite sport or athlete.

Avoid The Oops This Summer and Stock Up At Walmart

This is a sponsored post with SheSpeaks/Walmart. All thoughts on products featured and views on smelly shoes are my own!

Tonight we go to her 6th-grade orientation, and it is just one step closer to her being an official middle schooler. Then I thought of my boys (who are very picky about letting me take their photos) and got to thinking I am Read More »»

What I Want My Kids To Know About Sex

Sex...talking about it with kids is something that I never thought about having to do, well,  until I had kids. Sex Talk With Kids....in the past it would make me want to run for the hills. I mean, as a parent, you think you have all the time in the world to broach the subject, until you don't. You look at them when they are babies and want to shield them from the world. Okay, so that really Read More »»
