Always Be Prepared...Fashionably

"When You're In a Pikle, Just Dill With It!" What does that mean? I have just been introduced to an amazing new product that is what every mom needs to keep with them at all times (they also make ones for dads too).


So let me explain, I am one of those moms that likes to always be prepared for anything that life throws at me. But I don't want to carry around an enormous diaper bag anymore and honestly didn't like doing it when my babies were little. But kids need stuff! They get boo-boos and need bandages, they get messy and need wipes, and sometimes you need stuff too!

Some "Bunny" Likes You - Non-Candy Valentine Idea + FREE Printable

With Valentine's Day right around the corner, I have been thinking what we were going to do differently this year.

And if you're wondering, no this post isn't sponsored, we just love Annie's Homegrown Snacks! I just love that they are a socially conscious business who specializes in organic ingredients and focusing on sustainability.

Home Schooling A Toddler with ABCmouse.com Early Learning Academy

Education is so important to me. I believe that in order to help our children be self-sufficient, they need a solid foundation which in my opinion is education. I have been home schooling SweetPea for a few months now. I looked into a two year old preschool for her, but with money being tight, I didn't feel that was a viable option. I was recently asked to try an Early Learning Academy app with my daughter. I feel it is more budget friendly option for the parent who wants to help further their child's education.
