Every time one of the kids gets a new toy, no matter what the suggested age range is- they all love it because it is new. However, the 'newness' fades and the child it was intended for is the one who eventually gets it all to themselves. The Little Tikes: DiscoverSounds Shape Sort and Scatter is a great learning toy for infants, toddlers & preschoolers so all of my younger kids can play, love and learn from it. We have owned shape sorters before and the kids have all enjoyed fitting the proper pieces into each hole- however with the Little Tikes: DiscoverSounds Shape Sort and Scatter they also … [Read more...]

October 22, 2012 by 25 Comments
At my house after snack time, comes clean up time! I swear I spend half my day chasing after the kids and picking up after them- Can you relate to that? (Please tell me I am not alone!) Emmitt's new most favorite snack is Kix cereal. I love that he has chosen a healthier food to love, but I do not love finding little yellow balls of cereal everywhere! When I say everywhere, I mean everywhere. Yesterday I found a piece in my water, in my bed, in my shoe, heck- it has even made its way into my car! I have tried quite a few snack keepers in an attempt to keep the Kix in off the floor, but none worked. … [Read more...]

Shortly after getting Bear we realized that crate training him would be our best option. However we knew that we did not want him in his crate all day so we started searching for comfy dog beds he could lounge on during the day when he was not playing with the kids.

There are hundreds of different types of dog beds to choose and to be honest- I had no clue where to start. I wanted something that was comfortable for Bear, easy to clean and blended in great with our … [Read more...]

For a man, there is nothing better than a great fitting, comfortable tshirt. Well alright, I lied- the only thing better is one of their favorite movie characters slapped smack dab in the middle of it!
