Cookies and candy canes, stockings and classroom parties, parades and family get-togethers—there are sweet treats everywhere you turn! For…
This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Fisher-Price. All opinions are 100% mine. Jackson (2 years old) recently discovered trains, and they've quickly become an obsession for him.

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Campbell’s Soup Company for IZEA. All opinions are 100% mine. I've started boycotting dinner preparations on Sunday nights.

I am part of the Kenmore Home Team, and the following is a sponsored post, but—sadly!—our dishwasher really did bite the dust as I was preparing for this post! On an average day, we use between 25-40 plates and bowls, more than 35 utensils, 7-10 cups and water bottles, and dozens of other pots, pans…
We are steadily marching toward adolescence here, with one...two...three...four girls in quick succession. Our oldest is approaching her teen years and growing so quickly that I can't even pretend it's not happening!
