Nanny to Mommy

I received complimentary products as a Netflix #StreamTeam member. All opinions are my own.

While you spent last year shuffling the kids to hockey games, helping solve their quadratic equations and giving the little ones their baths, you probably missed episodes – if not full seasons – of some great shows. Did Olivia kick Fitz to the curb on Scandal? Who’s rocking the break room on Grey’s Anatomy? Just how long is Rick’s beard now on The Walking Dead? With full-blown fall premiere season upon us, now’s the time to grab your boo and glass of wine (or just grab the wine!) and dust off your shelfies.

 

What’s a shelfie you ask?

Whether you’re the lucky parent of boys or girls (or both!), getting kids to do chores is even more challenging than putting the youngsters in bed on time. Let us face it – the number of kids that like to vacuum clean and organize their rooms can probably be counted on the fingers of one hand.

Turning chores into something fun or adding a competitive element to the process can inspire kids to help a bit with cleaning. Here are some of the best strategies to try in order to form healthy habits and get a bit of assistance.

I received complimentary products as a #LeapFrogMom. All opinions are my own.

We are HUGE fans of the LeapFrog learning toys. From our LeapTV to our LeapReader, LeapFrog has helped my daughter learn letters and numbers in fun and exciting ways. If you follow me on Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram, then you already know that I am super excited about becoming a LeapFrog Mom Ambassador! As part of the LeapFrog Mom Squad, I get to test out products, share my thoughts, and gain valuable information about the brand that I get to share with all of you!
 

As part of our September kit, we received the LeapPad Platinum, Imagicards games, and Word Whammer. The Imagicard games we received were: LeapFrog Letter Factory Adventures (ages 4-7), PAW Patrol (ages 3-5), and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (ages 5-8). My daughter loved the Word Whammer, which I will share about in another post. But today I wanted to share about the LeapPad Platinum and Imagicards.
