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}

Quick entertainment

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 […]

Tips on establishing a nurturing & loving bond between siblings

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 […]
