6 ways to keep kids active and healthy when life gets busy. #HorizonB2S
Thank you to Horizon Organic for sponsoring this blog post. All opinions expressed are 100% my own. #HorizonB2S Summertime was so easy to keep my kids active. They love swimming, riding bikes and running around playing in the yard. Now that the oldest two are back in school, they don't have all that free play time every day. I have four boys, and if I have learned anything as a mom so far, it's that boys have got tons of energy that they need ...
5 Easy Home Maintenance Tasks You Can Do Yourself
I used to think that it took special training or skills to do most home maintenance tasks. My husband is the one who seems to know how to fix stuff, so I leave things like leaky toilets up to him. However, a problem arises when something around the house needs to be done and I don't want to wait for him to get around to it. Turns out, the solution to that problem is ME! I am learning that a lot of routine home care is easy to do without being a ...
Kids use digital devices more than you think – and it can affect their vision.
I participated in an Influencer Activation on behalf of Mom Central for the American Optometric Association. I received a promotional item to thank me for my participation. How many hours does your child spend each day looking at a digital device? A recent survey done by the American Optometric Association (AOA) reveals that only 40% of parents think their child uses a digital device more than 3 hours per day, while 83% of kids say they ...

A Happy Good Morning with Silk Almond Coconut Blend + Coupon #SilkAlmondBlends
All of my kids are on summer vacation from school, so I like to give myself a vacation from cooking breakfast most mornings. Everyone around here loves cold cereal anyway, so there's rarely any complaints. I have to admit, I can make an excellent bowl of cereal. Just ask them: I recently switched our usual cereal milk to the new Silk Almond Coconut Blend (Original). My family loves Silk soy milk and almond milk, but this is our first time EVER ...

Mom Always Finds Out received Puracyn Wound and Skin Care product and compensation in exchange for this blog post. All opinions expressed are my own.

10 summer activities for kids and family
It can be a challenge to keep kids active during the summer months. My kids have learned not to say they are bored unless they want me to assign them a chore. I sort of wish they hadn't caught on to that trick because I was enjoying the extra help around the house! I don't expect my kids to be busy every hour of the day, but I do want them to have daily active time. I have learned that it is much easier to get my kids to be active when I do ...
No more bulky liners! Thanks, SAM.
This post brought to you by Poise at Walmart. All opinions are 100% mine. LBL (Light Bladder Leakage) affects 1 in 3 women. It's something we don't like to talk about. And it's definitely something we don't want to unintentionally announce to the world by wearing a bulky liner. Pregnancy, menopause and even stress can cause LBL. If you have LBL, something as simple as a cough or sneeze can lead to an accident. Light Bladder Leakage may even ...
