As the weather is changing, the days are getting shorter and the weather is cooling down, I find myself starting the day with a warm cup of coffee. My favorite way to prepare a cup is with lots of chocolate flavored creamer, some sugar and a good coffee. I'm still experimenting with blends, finding out what I like. Brooklyn Bean Roastery's Breakfast Blend is quickly becoming one of my favorite blends. When brewed Breakfast Blend looked dark in the cup. I thought it may be a strong coffee, ...
Wild Kratts: Wild Reptiles
Have you ever watched Wild Kratts on PBS Kids? I stumbled upon it one day when I was home with Peyton when she was little. We were both drawn in. I liked how the two main characters in the cartoon are also in the episodes as regular people. Plus there's a lot of educational information in each episode. Children are learning a ton about animals, their behaviors, habitats and environments. Peyton loves it because she loves animals, learning about new animals and seeing the Wild Kratts suits turn ...
Jump Start Your Day with Da Bomb
There is never enough hours in the day. I'm known for burning the candle at both ends trying to get everything accomplished in a day. And I will reach for a coffee specialty drink on days I'm really struggling. But I don't always have time to run to the coffee shop, it's not always convenient. Java Factory makes an extra bold dark roast double caffeinated k cup called Da Bomb. There are days I need all the caffeine I can get my hands on to stay awake. Since I'm the only adult in the home I ...

Let’s Color Together
Peyton and I do nearly everything together. It's just the two of us, so whenever we are home she tends to stick close by. One of our favorite things to do together is to color. Ever since she has been able to hold a crayon she has loved coloring. I discovered my love for coloring while spending time with Peyton coloring. But I wanted more than coloring a children's book. Peyton likes to copy everything I do so when we tried using adult coloring books she would become frustrated because they ...
Under the Volcano
One of the first television series Peyton started watching when she was little was Dinosaur Train. Instantly, she fell in love with all the dinosaurs. Recently, Under the Volcano was released. With 120 minutes of Dinosaur Train fun, your little one is sure to be pleased. I love saving videos like these for rainy days or days I need to get a lot of housework done. Just pop it in the DVD player and your kid doesn't even mind you are running around the house cleaning. And I like how when Peyton is ...
