Free trial from Reading Eggs – Braxton and Hawk Approved!

I have FANTASTIC news for you from Reading Eggs! Braxton and Hawk both have their own ABC Reading Eggs accounts, and they absolutely LOVE to do their school work.  I'm so thankful I found this program, because not only is Braxton soaring (which is always great for a homeschooling mom to see!), but Hawk is even learning his letters and sounds at 3 years old. The boys really love making their own characters as well as going through the maps to achieve their goals.  This is an awesome program for both homeschooling families and those families just looking for a…

Flatout… Dumplings?

The weather has finally taken a turn for the cooler in the Houston, Texas area, and last night, we decided that we wanted dumplings.  The night before, we had a rotisserie chicken, and it was so big that we had a lot of leftovers.  I pulled it out of the fridge, use the bones to make the chicken stock, and cubed the rest of the chicken for my dumplings.

Our Night Time Cloth Diapering Solution – Antsy Pants

  Hawk in his Antsy Pants cloth diaper for bedtime! Wake up sleepy head! **This is an old post.  Neither of my boys are in diapers at night anymore, but we will definitely be using their Antsy Pants when Jett grows into them! Both of my boys are still in diapers at night.  Hawk (3) and Braxton(6) are practically the same size when it comes to diapers, however they are shaped very differently.  The awesome thing about the Antsy Pants cloth diapers is that they basically fit any body type.  The hip/waist elastic and side snapping makes them an adjustable…

Commit2Fit Fridays: Healthy Kids Famous Fan Subway Giveaway

About this time last year, Kylie took about a year off from soccer for several different reasons.  After about a year, we noticed that she'd started gaining some weight, because she wasn't all that active.  Sure, they had recess at  school, as well as PE classes, but in the state of Texas, I think the requirement is only about 90 minutes of structured physical activity per week.  Pitiful, huh? Are your kids fit? That said, Andy and I, at our heaviest and most unhealthy state ever, went on and on to ourselves about just how much weight she'd gained and…

Top 5 Musts: Gatorland, Orlando – Kissimmee Florida

For a lot of my new blogger friends, the Brandcation event was all about stepping out of their comfort zones and talking a walk on their adventurous side.  For me, almost everything we did was right up my alley!  I had the best time.

Right now, I want you to get out your calendar, whether it's on your phone, fridge, wall, or computer, and I want you to pick a date.  That's the…
