Today was one of those days. We’re in the middle of gutting our bathroom and I had a solid hour of time helping my husband in the bathroom this afternoon while my youngest napped. That meant the older 2 kids were left to their own devices downstairs. For an hour. In that hour, my children Continue Reading …
So here’s something you probably don’t know about me. When I met my husband, I had credit card debt. Lots and lots of it. You know when credit card companies go to college campuses and give a tshirt or a frisbee for signing up for the card? I think I signed up for all of Continue Reading …
I love Carter’s. It’s one of my favorite brands for my kids. I’ll be one sad lady when there are no more Carter’s labels in my house. Thankfully we’re years away from that stage. Back to school shopping is almost upon us and I’m already checking out Carter’s for some pieces for the kids to Continue Reading …
I thought that dealing with bullying was something I’d be maybe starting to worry about when my oldest child was maybe in grade 7 or 8. As it turned out, I was wrong.

In 2012 the Consumer Product Safety Commission estimated that almost 300 children under the age of 5 drown in Continue Reading …
As a parent, or a caregiver of a child in diapers, one of the most important things you want in a diaper, regardless of what kind of diaper you use, is absorbency. You can have the cutest or the cheapest or the most eco friendly diapers around, but if your diapers aren’t absorbent, they aren’t Continue Reading …
I can’t believe I’m writing this but it’s almost time for Back to School….well, for some of you. Here in Connecticut we don’t go back until the very end of August, but I know many will be back in school in just a few short weeks! With back to school comes lots and lots of Continue Reading …
Earlier this week, I noticed a bald spot on my almost 5 year old son’s head. His friend had pulled his hair the day before…there wasn’t even mention of it to me, or his friends mom. It was kind of matter of fact. Right after I took this photo, my little guy looked up at Continue Reading …
My kids are getting to the age where they want to buy their own “stuff.” Maybe it’s something I won’t spend my money on, or maybe it’s something they really want and it’s not birthday or Christmas time- my husband and I decided that we’d let them start having opportunities to earn some money in Continue Reading …
