Life With Three Kids
I was going over my old posts and realized I haven’t shared much on our day-to-day life now that we are a family of 5. I shared a day in the life back when we had just two kids and share plenty on Instagram and my facebook group but not much here. So I thought I would…
How to Get Your Kids to Nap at the Same Time
This post on nap time was sponsored by Walmart and Parent’s Choice. All opinions are my own. We have three kids ages five and under. It can sometimes be inconvenient, but nap time is a huge priority around here for us. I know nap time can be a challenge for parents of multiple kids. I…
It’s okay to say NO to Christmas Traditions
I love this time of year. I love the Christmas lights, music, family time, and all of the baking. You know what I don’t like?

Car Changing Station
Now that Fall is here, I have a whole list of things I want to do with my kids. Which means we will be out and about and in the car a lot. We already have two trips to the pumpkin patch, a (surprise) trip to Disney on Ice, and two school Halloween events on…
Why I Changed my Mind About Preschool
This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Bright Horizons Early Education and Preschool for IZEA. All opinions are 100% mine. When I had my first son, I didn’t believe in preschool. I was a stay at home mom, so why would I pay to send my child to child care? As my son…
Moving with kids
Moving with kids can be a daunting task. Moving in general is not fun, but adding in 1 or more little people completely dependent on YOU to pack and move all of their stuff while making them feel good about the transition? That is a big job. We recently moved our family of 5 to…
