Today was crazy! We are in that week before school starts but summer care has ended. I don't have the vacation time to take off work and spend the week with Peyton nor do I have family that I can pass her around to for the week. So I decided to send her to Zoo Camp! The Minnesota Zoo put on a variety of camps throughout the summer. Some are all day, some are half days, some meet once or for a week or for the whole summer! Since I only needed a place for Peyton to go for a week I chose two half ...
A More Restful Night’s Sleep
I have a king size bed. Before I had Peyton I swore that I would not have a family bed. I swore that my child would sleep in her own bed. That philosophy lasted all of 5 seconds once Peyton was born. At first, I just had a bassinet by my bed. I told myself it was for ease of night feeding. Then she got too big for the bassinet, I switched her to a travel crib.

I got a little sneak peak at some of the new foods at the fair so I thought I would ...
Thoughts on Pete’s Dragon
When Disney announced they were doing a remake of Pete's Dragon I was pretty excited. This is a movie from my childhood and I couldn't wait to share it with my daughter. While the movie is amazing there are a few parts I feel parents should be made aware of. The first 5 minutes of the film can be intense for our young audience. You are transported to the 70s, Pete and his parents are on a road trip. It's a bright sunny day, they are traveling down a road through a heavily wooded area, Pete ...
There’s a New Lipstick in Town
Bold, Young, Sexy and Free - That is what Feral Cosmetics stands for. Feral Cosmetics lipsticks are smooth, hydrating and full of color. With one glide across the lips you'll have instant full coverage. The first time I used Feral Cosmetics I noticed how easily I was able to apply the lipstick. The second was the instant coverage.
