Nanny to Mommy

"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! As you may know, we are starting on a healthy lifestyle this year and with that comes more adventure which can mean more predicaments for the need to be more prepared. That's why I'm loving my In A Pikle bag.

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.

We love a good princess, and there’s nothing wrong with a happy ending. But the reality is kids today are gravitating toward grown-up stories. They may not be made with kids in mind (read: The Walking Dead, American Horror Story and That 70’s Show), but they’re watching. That’s why Netflix is reinventing family TV with shows like Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events, available to stream now. The show serves up dark comedy that your big kids are probably ready for, whether you realize it or not.

As a member of the Netflix StreamTeam, I had the miserable opportunity to preview a screener of Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events. Life for the Bauledaire children is very salty indeed because of Count Olaf, but I have whipped up an easy recipe that can bring a little sweet in to the mix without any misery.

Here's what you need to make "Count Olaf's Salty Sweet Cracker Treats":
