Nanny to Mommy

We didn't get a chance to make it to theaters to see Disney•Pixar’s “Coco”, but I had heard wonderful things and of course wanted to see it ever since I saw the first preview. We were fortunate enough to have the opportunity to host an "Unforgettable Family Reunion" right in our own home.

My cousin has a new baby. He was unplanned and she had already sold or donated all of her baby stuff. So when I saw her over Christmas, I knew I needed to help her out. Her little man likes to sit up and look at the world, but he is a chunk and it isn't practical to carry him around all the time. That's why I decided to reach out to KidCo. I had seen their GoPod Travel Activity Seat before and just knew it would be perfect for her needs.

My cousin is a busy mom to three kiddos aged four and younger, so she needed something that was light weight and could easily travel on the go. The GoPod Travel Activity Seat is perfect for her because it only weighs 7 pounds and is designed to fold and go. The attached floor pad keeps baby’s feet on a clean surface whether at the camp fire, on a picnic, watching the big kids play sports, or outside in a muddy area like we were.

Did you know National Engineers Week is February 18 through 24 this year?

Ellie loves to build. She’s always engineering new creations with the help of her imagination and her best friend Kit. Unfortunately, with Kit’s birthday just around the corner, the French-braiding machine Ellie built turns out to be more of a hair-knotting machine. What’s Ellie going to do? Luckily, the girls overhear Kit’s mom talking about Kit’s surprise – it must be the dog she’s always wanted! Ellie is struck with inspiration: she’ll build Kit the best doghouse ever! The project quickly becomes more than just a present for Kit – it builds a bridge between Ellie and those bothersome neighbor boys, as well as the other handy girls in her class.

One of my tips I tell people to help save money on their grocery meals is to have one night that is meatless. So when we are creating our meal plan we have what we like to call “Meatless Mondays.” And what you may find surprising is that you can choose plant-based foods without giving up taste, convenience, or quality.
