Nanny to Mommy

My daughter just started to swim over the summer. Being a mermaid is her new goal in life. She could live in the water everyday, if it were possible. She loves to pretend to be a mermaid, but what if there was a way for her to BE a mermaid?



For mermaids who desire an entire wardrobe of stylish, eye-catching tails, Fin Fun offers an amazing selection of high-quality mermaid tail designs inspired by the beauty of the sea and nature. The Fin Fun Mermaidens collection features tails based on the beloved Mermaiden Princess characters, each with a unique personality and story, which can be found on the kid-friendly FinFriends.com site. The Limited Edition collection combines fantasy with nature's beauty in spectacular designs that have a shimmery, shiny look and feel.

As parents we deserve to know the ingredients in the products we use. Did you know there are no regulations for the ingredient labeling of household cleaning products? So you have no idea about the products you use every day around your family. I have partnered with Seventh Generation because I believe the Cleaning Industry needs to #ComeClean and let us know what is in their products.


Why is Ingredient Disclosure Important?

I love fresh flowers. I love how they can give your space a little something extra. I have been buying flowers pretty regularly since we moved into our new house from our local grocery store, but they haven't lasted at all. I would rather spend a little more to get some flowers that last longer, so in the long run I'm spending less.

BloomsyBox.com is a subscription-based service in which they send monthly flowers fresh from the farms to homes and businesses’. They enable customers to sign up for fresh and unique flowers with convenient delivery (monthly) at really affordable prices. A basic subscription costs $34.99 per bouquet for a monthly delivery. Customers can suspend service when they’re out of town.

Amber at Viva Veltoro recently had the opportunity to try two Joovy high chairs: the newly redesigned Nook and Foodoo! She loved both of them but for very different reasons. You can see her full reviews of the Joovy Nook and Joovy Foodoo to get a better idea of which high chair would work best for your family. We've teamed up with some of our favorite bloggers to offer you a chance to win YOUR choice of the Nook or Foodoo in black!

Pizza has always been a staple meal in our house. It is so easy and the whole family just loves it. I decided to make things extra special and do a make-your-own pizza night for everyone! I thought it would be something different and fun! My daughter has been wanting to start getting creative in the kitchen, so this was a great start for her.

We gathered our toppings: pepperoni, mozzarella cheese, peppers, pineapple, spinach, bacon, sauce, and ham. You could also add mushrooms, onions, chicken, ranch dressing, barbeque sauce, and so many more! That's why we love pizza in our house because the possibilities are endless! We used pre-made pizzas crusts from the store, but you could easily make your own pizza crusts!
