We really love our little umbrella stroller and folding travel stroller for quick trips or traveling through airports, but they are really uncomfortable to push! After a while my back just starts to ache from stooping over to reach those low stroller handles, and my poor husband is even taller than me! I finally decided I had to do something to make those strollers more usable, so I took a quick ...

My Toddler Puts Everything In Her Mouth!
This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of CuVerro for IZEA. All opinions are 100% mine. I never thought I’d be that mom who freaked out about dropped pacifiers, but it turns out I am pretty grossed out by the things my toddler puts in her mouth! The funny thing is, the dog “kisses” her all the time, and AJ “kisses” the dog back by leaning over with her mouth wide open so the dog can ...
Make Your Own “Mommy Is On A Break” Socks
Everyone needs time to themselves every once in a while to stay sane, and moms are no exception! The problem is, kids seem to have a built-in alarm that goes off any time their mom sits down to take some “me time”, and they immediately need you for something. What you need is some Mommy Is On A Break socks, so that the next time you put your feet up and your kids come to bother you, they know ...
The First Day Of Day Care
So, I dropped my 16 month old daughter off at day care for the very first time this morning. I’ve been working from home for about five years, so I’m not really used to leaving the house on a regular basis. I tried to make a list of everything I needed to do and pack for her first day at daycare so that I wouldn’t forget anything in the morning. (I also remember, back from when I actually went out ...
Tips For Organizing Baby Stuff In The Bathroom
Thank you Cottonelle® for sponsoring this post. AJ is starting to learn how to brush her teeth! It’s super cute watching her play with her toothbrush and copy Mommy and Daddy when we brush our teeth, but it also means a whole bunch more baby “stuff” is starting to fill up our small bathroom! I finally took the time to get the bathroom all organized and stocked so that all of the things we need ...
Preparing For Potty Training
Thank you Cottonelle® for sponsoring this post. I can’t believe this baby is already a year old; where has the time gone?! It is so much fun watching her learn to do things on her own and be more independent: she feeds herself these days, she can help get herself dressed, we’ve been practicing tooth brushing, and she loves our nightly bath time routine. And I know it’s early still, but it’s ...
The Best Upright Vacuum For New Moms!
This post is brought to you by Hoover. As always, all opinions are 100% my own! Now that we have a newborn in the house, I feel like I get nothing done! Between feeding her, changing her, and just cuddling with her when she sleeps, I'm always surprised when I look at the clock to discover the whole day has flown by! Needless to say, I don't have time for the household chores that I used to do. ...
Dealing With Swollen Feet During Pregnancy
This post is part of a social shopper marketing insight campaign with Pollinate Media Group® and Brita, but all my opinions are my own. #pmedia #BritaOnTheGo http://my-disclosur.es/OBsstV My biggest complaint about this pregnancy is swollen feet and ankles; my feet feel weird, it's not pretty to look at, and I don't fit in any of my shoes anymore! So I've compiled a list of five things you can ...
The World’s Toughest Job
This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Cardstore. Mother's Day is coming up soon! What are your plans? I saw a video floating around on YouTube the other day about the world's toughest job; any guesses as to what that is? Correct, it's being a mom! So if you haven't thanked your mom yet for doing the world's toughest job every single hour of every single day of your life, go do ...
Disney World Without Kids: 10 Tips For A Magical Grown-Up Vacation!
My husband and I don't have kids yet, but we just went to Disney World for a week long vacation and had an amazing time anyway! Disney World is a great place for families with young kids, but don't let that stop you from taking a grown-ups only vacation! I remember having an awesome time at Disney World when I was about 8 years old, but this trip was even better because I got to enjoy adult stuff ...
