This is a sponsored post. All opinions are my own. One of my college professors claimed in a lecture that all love exists in memory only. I immediately resisted the idea, but over time I see her point and experience proves it true. Loving someone is remembering your shared experience, remembering belly laughs and shoulders cried on, impromptu adventures and the forgiveness you worked so hard Keep Reading >>
Tour Amazon – A Very Fulfilling Experience
You probably already know that I love taking my kids on field trips. A couple of years ago a friend of mine toured an Amazon Fulfillment Center with her children. Immediately I knew: I needed this in my life. (Many people feel that way about things, I feel that way about experiences.) At that time the nearest AFC tour was in Indiana. Too far! How was that even possible? DFW seems like such a hub Keep Reading >>
Music Education with Guitar Center
My husband and I try to encourage our children to find extracurricular activities they have a passion for. Growing up I took piano and voice lessons but had to travel a distance to do so. Thankfully we have a Guitar Center nearby so musical instruments and education are right at our fingertips whenever we wish. This is a sponsored post. This has in no way influenced my review in any way. All Keep Reading >>
Safety First Baby Monitor
Nothing matters more to me than my kids. I wish I could follow them around everywhere they go just to make sure that they are safe. Yes, I'm one of those moms that goes into my kids rooms at night and puts my ear next to their little faces to make sure they're breathing. A good baby monitor helps me to feel a little more in control. I just got a Safety 1st Baby Monitor and it is Keep Reading >>

Keep Your Loved Ones Safe with Revolar Instinct
Did you know that every 98 seconds an American is sexually assaulted? While getting gas in my car a few weeks ago I was approached by a stranger asking for money. I knew he was just down on his luck and wasn't dangerous but I would be lying if I didn't say I was a little uncomfortable. How many times has this happened to you? Being approached by a stranger can be unnerving but what about Keep Reading >>

Camp Mama: 12 year old Activities Director
One of the things my children had requested when we were planning this summer's activities was that they each wanted a week of their own to plan and execute. This week my eldest was in charge and he did a fantastic job! He had to work around the parameters of Cub Scout Camp for my middle son (and me on the last day,) and swimming lessons for both of them, but we still managed to get almost Keep Reading >>
