This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of Banana Boat® . The opinions and text are all mine. My kids love to swim at the community pool in the summer. It's got a lazy river that goes all the way around it. They probably swim at least a hundred miles in that lazy river over the course of the summer. Swimming is a great way for them to get exercise and have fun while they are at it. Any mom who has taken kids to the pool ...

You Know You’re a Mom When… (Parenting Humor)
This post is sponsored by Similac. I was compensated for this post but all opinions are my own. I lived more than two decades of my life without children. There are tons of pictures of me going places and doing things - with no sight of kids around. But thanks to Momnesia, that life seems like it belongs to someone else. Momnesia is not a bad thing. It is sort of like amnesia - it makes you forget that once upon a time, you only had one ...
Water Safety Tips: Puddle Jumper Life Jackets for Kids
This post brought to you by Stearns Puddle Jumpers®. The content and opinions expressed below are that of Mom Always Finds Out. One of the things my family loves the most about summer is spending more time by the water. Whether we are at the pool, the beach, or the lake, I am still very anxious about my kids being around open water. All four of them are still learning how to swim. My youngest is 3 years old, and I have the most peace of mind ...
How We Can Help End Child Hunger in the US #FightHungerTogether
There are nearly 16 million children in America at risk of going hungry. The mother in me wants to make sure every one of them is fed. It makes me so sad to know that so many of our nation's children do not have enough to eat. I want to help them all. The reality is that would be impossible for one person like me to do! But what one person like me, and like you, CAN do is help the children within our own communities. You and I have been blessed ...
Choosing a Car Seat for Your Older Child
I participated in an Influencer Activation on behalf of Influence Central for Chicco. I received a promotional item to thank me for participating. #IC #ChiccoKidFit Our first experience with Chicco was my son's Chicco Keyfit Infant Car Seat. I picked the KeyFit because it is the #1 rated infant car seat, and I wanted to have the safest option for my baby. I loved how simple this car seat was to install. It was also easy for me to keep clean - ...
How to make hand-me-down toys exciting again
Thank you to VTech for providing products, gift card, information, and an additional giveaway gift pack. About this time every year, I start going through my children's toys. I have to decide which toys should stay and which ones should go to a new home. Over the past ten years as a mom, I have learned that there are many toys worth keeping because my younger kids will eventually grow into them. Why should I spend money to buy the exact same ...
Tips and Tricks: How to Get Kids to Take Medicine
Thank you to Dr. Cocoa for sponsoring this product-provided conversation that contains affiliate links. All opinions, text and experiences are my own. My kids will flat out refuse to take medicine if they do not like the way it tastes - even when it is supposed to taste like berry or grape. The worst kind of medicine is cough medicine. The boys say cough medicine is too "spicy" and will even go so far as putting on an impressive gagging ...
Bedwetting Solutions Kids Love: GoodNites* TRU-FIT* Underwear For Nighttime!
