Spring Blossoms
Happy Spring! I try to get out at least once per season and take photos of my babies! Here is the most recent shoot. These photos are not the originals so the quality was compromised, still worth sharing 🙂

All natural guilty pleasures
Who doesn’t love the chocolate-y hazelnut flavor of Nutella? Let’s be honest it tastes pretty amazing…but two tablespoons of it has a whooping 21g of SUGAR (Nutella Nutrition Facts)! So it’s pretty much like eating cake icing from the bottle. I’ve given it to my kids a handful of times as a “treat” but I […]
DIY Valentine’s Day Mailbox
It’s almost Valentine’s Day and the teachers have assigned work for the parents lol (momwork). Gives me an excuse to craft with the kiddies. It seems like my daughter’s Preschool class has more projects than my son’s Kindergarten class. We had to get Valentine cards for both classrooms and make a mailbox for my daughter’s […]
Carlson’s For Kids – Fish Oil {kid approved}
Do you give your kids vitamins? I try my best to balance out my kids diet so that they get their vitamins through their food, but it doesn’t always happen. Fortunately, my kids love salmon so we bake it once a week and we barely have leftovers on those nights! I try to make smoothies […]
Minnie Mouse 3rd Birthday
My daughter turned 3 last week and she really wanted a Minnie Mouse party so Mommy did her best to make that happen! The party was a huge success and she really enjoyed herself. I did the classic Minnie theme – Red & Black. I had a Spanish/Flamenco dancer costume in her size which happened […]

Mommy loves browsing their things so it was a win-win situation 🙂 The staff at Los Gatos Anthro were very friendly and the kids loved […]

Quick entertainment
Trying to sit in peace to eat breakfast does not happen very often (at least through the whole meal). Today I fed them and then got them situated so I could actually sit and eat too. Here’s what I used: blanket, pipe cleaner & two strainers. They are still sitting & using their creativity to […]
Limiting technology & exposing our kids to focus/concentration activities
Society today is focused around technology and almost everything can be done via computers & smartphones. You can painlessly access almost anything with the touch of a button. With that in mind, it has become increasingly difficult to keep our little ones from watching TV, Netflix, playing games (for fun & educational purposes) on the […]

I think every parent of two or more has this on their mind – establishing a strong sibling bond…life is so much easier when the kids get along and you’re not refereeing all day. Ever wonder why some siblings get along why some cannot even be alone in the same room together? Well in this […]
