Whenever I see the PTPA Award (Parent Tested, Parent Approved), I automatically trust whatever the product is that it is a good quality, well tested item! This is why I was so excited to hear the news that the Kobo Mini and Kobo Glo both received the PTPA Award! My daughter is a bookaholic. She reads so much and loves it that books were the only thing on her Christmas Wish List at one point! Books are over taking her bedroom and my husband and I have discussed having her use a Kobo numerous times, but I wasn’t convinced. Now … Continue reading →

During the month of December, our family loves to sit together and watch Christmas movies! My 7 year old daughter is really into movies lately and my 4 year old boy, well, he is in the room with us, watching bits and pieces. But either way, it is a great way to spend some good quality family time together! Typically, we watch movies on Saturday night. We make some appetizer/finger foods for dinner (often from M&M Meats because we love their selection!) and we eat in front of the movie. What holiday movies will you be watching with your children … Continue reading →

Although decorating for the holidays can be fun and exciting, it can also sometimes be challenging and dare I admit, I tad bit frustrating?!

My son, who is four, is a rather picky eater. It is challenging to get his daily intake of fruits and veggies into him on a good day! One thing that I discovered a few months ago were what I called “Apple Squishies”. They are applesauce in a disposible, drinkable squeeze bag. He loves these snacks and he really likes to take them for his school lunches, however, it has always bothered me how much waste we have produced by using them. Can I tell you how excited I was when I discovered Squishy Snak Paks?! They are practically identical … Continue reading →
