The days are getting shorter, the sun is going down earlier making it harder to get out for a quick walk. And soon, the snow will be here along with freezing temps. All this means I will be stuck indoors for months until the ice melts and the warm weather returns. Being a single mom, it's hard to get to a gym without a kid in tow. Plus the travel time sucks up what little time we have to spend together each night after school. So I much rather include Peyton in my workouts. Or at the very least ...

Make Meal Time Fun
I remember when Peyton was learning how to eat solid foods. Oh my gosh was it a mess! Like a huge mess. There were many a days she went right from the high chair and into the bath to get cleaned up. I would also end up vacuuming and cleaning the floor and everything around the highchair because Peyton liked to fling dishes. And she had one heck of an arm! Now there a placemat that doubles as a plate and suction cups to the table! I wish they would've had these when Peyton was little. Emerald ...

Hydration backpacks are perfect for this!The Arctic Current makes a hydration backpack that holds 2L of water. It comes in two colors, blue or gray. Peyton picked out the blue one because this week ...
It’s Bath Time!
Remember the days when you could spend an hour or so just soaking in the bathtub? But then children happened. There's not as much free time to spend soaking in hot bathtubs any longer.

Keeva has a set of bath bombs that can help make my bath time a relaxing and enjoyable moment. There are a total of 8 bath bombs ...
Beauty from the Sea
I am always on the hunt for new beauty products. Living in a house full of girls we can never have enough! Repechage is a beauty line made in the USA that is gluten free, paraben free and salon quality. They also use natural ingredients and have no animal testing policies. Sounds like a company I can get behind. They have a wide range of products from skincare to cosmetics. Today I'm trying out the conditioning lip gloss in pink champagne. I've been using the conditioning lip gloss for the last ...
Baby, Baby!
I remember when Peyton was little and she was just discovering books. Oh, did she love books! And she still does. Baby, Baby! is a wonderful book for infants. It's a simple, rhyming book for infants to enjoy. While they are listening to mom or dad read the story the babies can look at illustrations of other babies or even themselves. That's right, there's a mirror inside the book so baby can see themselves! Some of my fondest memories is curling up in bed and reading stories to Peyton. We ...
