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 ...

Ear Ache Relief with Clear Pop
When your child is in pain and there's nothing you can do about it, it's a helpless feeling. It's a horrible feeling! When Peyton was younger, we had a string of ear infections.

I use them all the time, at home, at work, in the car, away on vacation. I am a firm believer that ...
Stay Hydrated this Spring
Spring is right around the corner. I know here in the midwest we are going to be in the 50s this weekend! With warm weather, I start thinking about getting in shape for summer. And one of the ways to get in shape is to be hydrated. You cannot be healthy if you are dehydrated. To be hydrated, they say you need to drink 80 ounces of water a day. That 's a lot of water!
