There are no boundaries in motherhood!
Being a parent is not for the weak. It’s a hard job, but it has big payoffs. Most parents do the best that they can, but not all parents realize how many shortcuts they can take and still be seen through their children’s eyes as the best parents ever. This list might give you some […]
Raising a great teenager means raising an independent adult. It means letting them shine in their individual way and helping them grow the skills they need to thrive. You cannot be there for them every step of the way, and in fact, if you hover over them you can dent their growth. It’s going to […]
Whether you’re taking them to school, driving them to grandma’s house or you’re taking them out for the day, no matter how long the car journey, driving with kids in the back isn’t always sing-alongs and best behavior! Driving with kids is a huge distraction, whether they’re arguing and fighting in the back seat or […]
Having children is a beautiful experience that can be exciting, interesting, insightful — and expensive! First there are the dirty diapers; then you’ll be amazed at how quickly your children will outgrow clothes and get through your weekly load of food shopping. That’s before you even start thinking about toys, days out, birthday parties, nursery […]
Any parent today will know the struggle of trying to get your little one to do something else with their free time other than playing on the iPad or PlayStation. Kids today spend less time outdoors than any other generation, devoting only four to seven minutes to unstructured outdoor play per day while spending an […]
Your kids vision changes constantly; changes to their eyes happen at a much faster rate during their growth. This is why it is vital to get their eyes checked regularly, just in case they need a pair of eyeglasses. The wrong prescription, or failing to realize the problems are even there, can lead to further […]
Being a parent is an incredibly stressful job. Of course, people become parents because it’s also incredibly rewarding and fulfilling, but there are times when it can be just too much to cope with. This is especially true if you’re going through some kind of tough situation or difficulty that compounds your stress. Parents also […]
For those who are about to become parents for the first time, it’s indescribable. You have to remember that so many aspects of your life will be put to the test. You will learn new skills you never thought you had in you but you will realize just how much of a shock to the […]

My oldest daughter and I share one big love, coffee! For her, selections were somewhat limited at one time since she is lactose intolerant. Once she found RISE Brewing Co. Oat Milk Vanilla Latte, her fondness for java was renewed with a fierceness. #Ad, #risebrewingcoFYI
This nitrogen-infused cold brew latte from @risebrewingco enhances their signature organic coffee with a dash of dairy-free oat milk and organic vanilla extract from Madagascar. It's creamy, slightly sweet and refreshingly smooth. It's all good. http://gofyi.ly/5DBA670A

Traveling is my passion, desire and everything I wanted to do in life besides being a mom. Though sometimes, especially during the holidays heading to new destinations with three grumpy teens and a tween can be a little stressful. This can make my anxiety and panic attacks which I try to hide come to the forefront. I learned over the last year that CBD can oftentimes help provide that bit of calm that I need to to get through it all and get back on track enjoying all that life and family has to offer.
Hemp Bombs offer a great selection of products including award-winning CBD gummies, lollipops (my newest fav as I do love a good lolli), Max Chill CBD Shots and even dog treats (Boomer's favorite as he tends to have that perfect husky personality)! They are a go to for all things CBD for us. #hempbombsactivate #sponsored

The holidays are fast approaching and I'm learning to take joy from the little things. I do believe @ellisthebengal agrees. He seems to love lounging in the sun on our new @peachskinsheets as much as I do!
