Boys. There's nothing like them. Really. I mean who else could be covered in mud, have bad breath, and come in telling you they love you and you just melt at their sweetness. Probably no one. I have three of them {ages 8, 5, and almost 2}. Whew, they keep me busy and life is never a dull moment. I can't imagine life without them. God gave me boys for a reason, and I love it. My friend, Brooke McGlothlin has a new book out that I absolutely love and was hard to put it down when I was ...
Pleygo Lego Rental (review & giveaway)
Pleygo - the first rental service for LEGO sets. This is a company that was created by parents for parents to save money and help kids develop cognitive skills through educational play time. Think of it as a "Netflix" type service for LEGO's. With today’s technology, trying to cut back on your kid’s screen time can be a daunting task. That’s where Pleygo comes in. I'll be honest, I was a little skeptical at first about Pleygo. I didn't know if my boys would like building the sets and then ...

Every Day a Blessing {Tommy Nelson Giveaway}
Every Day a Blessing by Thomas Nelson is a WONDERFUL devotional book for kids ages 6-10. However, my 5 year old has really taken a liking to it and asks if we can read our "devotional" each day from it. I love how each page has a short devotion on it (one for each day of the week, then a weekend devotional) for 365 days. In 2014, our family is really focusing on gratitude and blessings. This definitely goes along with that focus. Each devotion features Scripture and a bite-sized message ...

Save Those Photo Christmas Cards
Not sure what to do with all the photo Christmas cards you get each year? Don't throw them out just yet! Use your smart phone to take a picture of each photo card. Crop it to where you only are getting the image to be the size of the actual photo (leave the words out if you can). Then, assign the pictures you've taken into your contacts. And click "save". Then, do the same the following year. This is a great way to see the photos year round and a cute way to personalize your phone ...
