Yoplait Splitz Review and Prize Pack Giveaway

Are you looking for the latest scoop on evening treats that will delight your kids and satisfy your sweet tooth? Well you are in luck, because new Yoplait Splitz is coming soon to your grocer's refrigerated dairy section! I don't know how it is in your house, but in mine, if I give the boys (ages 6 and 3) yogurt, they will take a bite or two and walk away. A few weeks ago, I was introduced to Yoplait Splitz!  I wasn't sure if it would be like any other yogurt or not, so I decided to give it a…

She's a Social Pixie Spreading Her Wings

If there's anything I've learned in this wide world of homeschool, it's that you kinda do what works for you and the little people, and don't let anyone push you do do anything differently!  Now, if I were a dead-beat mom who shut 'em up in their rooms with a loaf of bread, pan of water, and tv remote, that would be a totally different story! Contrary to what I figured coming into this, the family and my friends have been SO supportive and extremely helpful!  I even caught my mom telling Kylie the other day "you haven't even given…

My Bamboo Boys – Homeschool Experience

I can't vlog, but they sure can!  If there's anything I've learned from this homeschool experience is that playing outside is a MAJOR part of the day.  Yesterday, we took the pool down to make way for the cooler temps and longer days playing in the backyard.  They now have a lot more room (8 feet in diameter to be exact!) to play outside, explore new things, and be boys! Today, we were going to talk about Fall and weather changes, however, this is the best way for them to experience first hand!

Wordless Wednesday: Tower of Strength

Even the fastest marathon runners need support to keep themselves balanced. It was great to see Meb Keflezighi, last year's ING NYC Marathon winner (time 2 hours, 9 minutes, 15 seconds WOW), use Jared Fogel, with Subway and newbie marathon runner, as his support while stretching after a training session for this year's marathon in November.  It just shows you that no matter how advanced we may or may not be  in our health and fitness stage, we all need support from time to time to keep us from stumbling. I took this photo on Monday morning after our run…
