Tidy Books Kid’s Bookshelf Review & Giveaway
If you are a parent you know that reading is extremely important for your child. The sooner you start reading to your children, the better. For us, we started reading to Riley the day we got home.

Seeing her point at pictures and saying "dog" or "kitty" or if I ask her where Elmo's nose is and she … [Read more...]

LYSOL’s Healthing Initiative
Nope, read the title of this post correctly. No, I did not misspell healthy or cleaning or any other word. I will tell you what "Healthing" is in a little bit! If you are a mother or father, you know how important keeping things clean and sanity are. For my family, it is of utmost importance. We keep the kitchen, bathroom, Riley's toys, and just about everything as clean as possible. I think we've done pretty well at it, too, since Riley has only ever gotten two cold since she was born … [Read more...]
