We are getting ready to go on some fabulous road trips in the next two months! I can't wait to share all these adventures with you guys. One of the places we will be heading to is Mount Rushmore. While we are there we'll also be taking in some of the parks and enjoying the hiking trails. And I am sure, that at least one of use will slip, fall and scrape a knee. It's a given with 2 kids in tow. Heck, Peyton can fall getting out of the car and scrape her legs up. Having a first aid kit with you in ...
Get a Workout Without Leaving the House
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 ...
Stay Hydrated While On the Go
Even though summer is coming to an end, we are not slowing down! Peyton and I are still attending fall festivals, taking hikes and we have a few vacations planned before Christmas. One of our trips is going to involve a lot hiking, even though it's fall, staying hydrated is still a large concern. 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. You spend most of your night wrestling a little one into the tub so they can take a bath! So on the rare occasions I get my turn in the bathtub I want to truly enjoy the experience. 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 ...
Christmas Love Letters From God
One of the things I am trying to teach Peyton is that the Holidays are not about getting presents. Yes, receiving presents is nice, it's fun. Parents love seeing our little ones facing light up on Christmas morning but presents are not what Christmas is about. Christmas is about the gift that God gave us, his son Jesus. God gave us a present. And somewhere along the way we turned that into children getting presents from Santa on Christmas morning. In Christmas Love Letters from God your ...
