I thought cleaning all of our new floors was a going to be a huge hassle until I opened my new steam mop from Shark. I love that I can now clean our kitchen and dining room floors without harsh chemicals.

As I journey through this thing called motherhood, I'm learning that not everyone's journey is the same. Everyone has different things that work for them because not only is every child different, but everyone's circumstance is different. You can't judge someone else's journey just because it isn't in tune with how you would parent.

I love saving money and hate paying retail. I have all my handy frugal apps right on my smart phone, so I never miss a deal. I know I have already mentioned how much I love the Groupon app. Groupon is a deal-of-the-day recommendation service saving you 40% to 60% off retail if you purchase that product or service.

Some of my favorite gift ideas right now on Groupon include:
