Family Traditions – It’s #HowWeFamily
I have received information from the makers of TYLENOL®. The opinions stated are my own. This is a sponsored post. Family games, gift exchanges, photographs, baking, singing….this is #HowWeFamily for the holidays. I love Christmas! I love everything about it!

Every year for the past several years my mom has taken the 3 day long road trip across country to visit us here in Kansas. My kids really look forward to this time with their grandparents.

How To Sleep Without Worry With a Newborn in the Home
Compensation was provided by Mimo Smart Baby Monitor via MomTrends. The opinions expressed herein are those of the author and are not indicative of the opinions of Mimo Smart Baby Monitor or Momtrends. Being a parent is no easy feat. You go into parenthood expecting sleepless nights due to a crying baby, lifestyle changes and the need to care for another human being.

Mom Tip: How to Run, Jump and Sneeze Without Peeing
I participated in an Influencer Activation on behalf of Influence Central for Depend. I received product samples to facilitate my review and a promotional item to thank me for my participation. As many of you know, I am a mom of four, as well as a full time gymnastics coach. When you combine those two together – you are asking for trouble. Well bladder troubles that is. I love being a mom, but it is the 7 pregnancies I have had that have contributed to my need to cross my legs when I sneeze and worry when I jump or run. It is an ongoing joke in our gym that…

How to Get Beautiful Holiday Photo’s on a Budget
I have never been one for paying for professional photo’s. They always seem so posed and honestly they are just too expensive for my budget. So here is what I have discovered you don’t need to pay a professional. Simply invest in beautiful quality clothing, a good camera and find a great location that is already decorated for you. Beautiful Holiday Outfits: There are of course several places you can choose to purchase your holiday clothing from, however I will tell you my most favorite online boutique – Chasing Fireflies. All four of my kids are sporting their fabulous clothing, shoes and accessories. Honestly the quality of clothing is far superior…

How to Get Off the Naughty List – BACON!
This post was sponsored by Farmland. All opinions are 100% my own. As you know, not everyone is perfect – and well you might be wondering how can you (or your kiddo) get off the naughty list this year. It’s really pretty simple. Typically everyone leaves Santa cookies and milk, but he gets tired of nothing but sweets and dairy. Leave him a little something special – something EVERYONE loves….BACON! That’s right this year you can escape the doom of the naughty list by simply leaving out some bacon for Santa. It really doesn’t matter what kind of bacon you make for him, Applewood, thick cut, peppered, double smoked – he…

It is not hard to believe that there is a little bit of a musician in all of us. Just watch a young toddler when you give them anything they can make music or listen to music with. They love it. It’s in our nature. I have always loved for inspiring that natural musician from within my kids. Here are a few tools I have used to help encourage the natural musician within toddlers starting from the youngest of ages. Play music in the nursery. I start this as soon as I bring my babies home. I play music all through the night to help soothe them, which in returns…
