Get your Kids involved in Spring Cleaning!
This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Sam's Club. All opinions are 100% mine. Spring is in the air! And with it comes the yearly reminder that it's time to deep clean the things in our houses that we merely graze over in our daily routines. Time to clean the high spots, low ...
I’m still giving my kids baths every night.
There has been a lot of talk floating around the interwebs about how kids don't need to be bathed save for once or twice a week. How daily bathing dries out their skin. How it is simply unnecessary. Buuuuuut, I'm still giving my kids baths every night. And I'm sick of feeling guilty for it, so ...
7 Ways to Beat the Worst Hour of your Family’s Day
The Witching Hour. You know what it looks like for your family. For us, it starts around 5pm, the last full hour before Daddy gets home. Our last hour of just the three of us.

Our go-to trick for calming upset kids
I have a threenager. He has every kind of emotion every single day. Like, today he got a little overzealous with his craft time and colored on his bed sheets. Although I was not in the room to see it, I suspect that he knew what he did was wrong and regretted it, and then came out of his ...
Stop Taking the Fun Hostage, Mom
"Bike ride at the bayou this Sunday?" My husband texted me from work on Friday. "YES," I replied. Our family loves bike rides, and this is the time of year for it in Texas. Soon, it'll be miserably hot and we would rather be swimming than biking. But, while I always love the idea of biking, ...
An open letter to my baby who doesn’t have time for me anymore
Hey Baby, I hate to bother you. But could you pencil in a feeding with me today? I know you lead a busy baby life. You've got places to go with all of this mobility that sprang up in the past few months. You have so many non-food items that need to go into your mouth, so many objects to ...
