Right from the days of being a toddler, we all have memories of indulging in solving an extensive number of puzzles.

Spring is in full force here in Georgia which means the pollen is making my allergies flair up any chance it gets. With both of my kids in sports, we are outside a LOT. Honestly, I have been waiting for the weather to warm up so I can enjoy being outside again and get some vitamin D. My daughter was diagnosed with severe seasonal allergies when she was two. She broke out in hives and her eye almost swelled shut. The nurses gave me some great tips to help make allergy season a little better. These tips go beyond taking allergy medication. Remember to always consult a doctor or pediatrician before taking any oral medications.

My family lives in water all summer long so learning to swim and water safety is a TOP priority to instill in my children. I want them to love the water as much as my husband and I do, so we have worked consistently on making them feel comfortable around the water while ensuring safety. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, drowning is the second-leading cause of unintentional injury-related death for children ages one to 14. Preparing for pool days includes a refresher on pool safety.

Because we are constantly at the pool all summer long, I wanted to share some important pool safety tips in honor of the upcoming International Learn to Swim Day. These are tips that even long time pool owners may need a refresher on! There is nothing wrong with staying up to date on safety.

Mother's Day kind of snuck up on me this year. Did you know that this year Mother's Day was May 12, 2019? It's not that it isn't special to me.

There has just been a lot of things that have happened emotionally in the last few months that have been distracting and I'll hopefully talk about them soon. So because sometimes planned ahead gifts don't happen like we would like, I wanted to share some gift ideas with you that your mom (or mom figure) will love and they don't cost anything but your time.
