Unlimited FREE LEGO Fun with Pley.com
Pley is amazing! That is the first thing I have to say!!! I have been using Pley for 3 months now and have truly LOVED absolutely everything about it! After 3 months of using this program I have not one single negative thing to say! My son absolutely loves LEGO’s but I am done “buying” more LEGO sets…we have so many LEGO pieces it’s ridiculous…he just needs new building ideas to keep him busy. Pleygo is the perfect option…I pay just $10 a month (with free shipping) and can get as many LEGO sets to build as we want (1 at a time…we usually average 2 new sets a month)!…

My Infant Must Have by Tommee Tippee
As a mom of four I have had many different infant/newborn products. Some have worked great – other’s not so much! Now the one thing I can tell you, is that although I have had four babies, each and everyone of my four babies were very different. Some of the things that worked for my first baby did not work for my other babies and vice versa. So it is easy to say “try this it really worked for me”, however we all know it is ALWAYS worth a try, but never a guarantee. Babies are unique and wonderfully made and all so very different. My favorite thing about being…

With four kids running round, playing at the park, swimming at the community pool, riding bikes and well the list goes on…life is busy!

Schlitterbahn the Perfect Family Friendly Fun Spot on a Budget!
Last summer we had the privilege of checking out the Schlitterbahn water park here in Kansas City. As a larger family of 6 finding a family friendly fun spot that is within our budget is sometimes hard. We were so excited to find Schlitterbahn Water Park. It is probably one of the most amazing family friendly water parks we have ever been to. I love that Schlitterbahn not only allows you to bring in your own food and drinks – they even encourage it. That alone saves my family $50-$100! We simply brought in a larger cooler filled with water bottles, sandwiches, snacks and goodies – our kids bellies stayed full and…

What Makes Marriage Work?
Let me start out by saying I am no expert! I am simply a wife of 14 years. My husband and I recently celebrated our 14 year anniversary and it got me thinking – why is it so rare to here about wedding anniversaries anymore?

Marriage is NOT easy! It takes work – hard work! There will be tough times, but even more so there will be some really excellent times. So here is…

Lose that Post Baby Fat NOW!
This is a sponsored post. All opinions are 100% honest and my own. I have always been in good shape- skinny. Never in my life have I had to worry about my weight until now. After having 6 pregnancies, 4 of which went all the way to term, I am now at that stage of life where I need to work HARD to lose weight and be skinny again. Honestly it’s so hard for me to “diet”, as it is I find myself only eating 1 meal a day. I just don’t have time to remember to eat 3 or more times in a single day. Other than that, I grew…

To Vaccinate – Not to Vaccinate (or somewhere in the middle!)
I am going to attempt to touch on a topic that I know is very HOT right now and VERY controversial. Now with that being said, let’s just agree that we all have our own opinions. I am sure many of us have done our fair share of research and well, this is just MY OPINION! So recently there has been an awful measles outbreak nationwide. This outbreak caused an up rise in debate about childhood vaccinations. Now I will start out by saying that I am a mom of four kiddos and all of my kids have been vaccinated. HOWEVER, my opinion on the matter has evolved through the years since having my…
