I had never really experienced any sort of motion sickness before I got pregnant. I could go on any rollercoaster, take road trips and do anything I wanted. Never felt sick to my stomach. Then Peyton arrived. She let her presence be announced by the worse morning sickness ever. It was like she had a little calendar and at 6 weeks it started. At first, I thought it was a stomach virus. I took ginger and drank lots of ginger ale and 7-up. But it kept getting worse, not better. A week later I ...

Let ACT Kids Toothpaste Help Fight the Brushing Battle
This post and party were sponsored by ACT Kids Toothpaste but all thoughts and opinions are my own. Remember last month, when Peyton had all that dental work done? We have been focusing on better oral health ever since the dentist announced she had 6 cavities. Despite all my efforts, all my nagging, all my constant reminders to brush her teeth didn't work. She didn't brush her teeth. There were nights we would go around and around about it. It's a daily battle, one that parents and kids are ...

Seeing Clearly
This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Pearle Vision for IZEA. All opinions are 100% mine. There was a time before children when I took care of myself. I went to my annual checkups, two dental cleanings every year and even annual eye exams. Then I became a mom. I swear, that first year, I was at the doctor's office more times than I had been in the last five years! And as Peyton got older, I seemed to spend more time on her doctor appointments and taking care of her needs. Since we ...
