Time To Take Your Family Outside: Guest Post on Outdoor Fun

I will admit that I’m not great at getting outside with my girls. I’m an indoor girl myself, and too focused on productivity and multitasking to just stop and smell the flowers (though now being able to read/work poolside is definitely a huge draw).

Be Ready with the New Vicks AgeSmart Family Thermometer

Believe it or not, we haven’t owned a family thermometer in over two years, when our last one broke and we never bothered to replace it. So the timing was perfect when Vicks asked me to try out their new AgeSmartTM Family Thermometer. Digital is definitely the way to go now, but with our last thermometer, […] Read more…

Paint the Town Red This Halloween With Nestlé

Forget about tacking on the “Disclosure” at the end of this post: I’m going to be upfront and tell you that Nestlé sent me a box of their assorted snack size bars as an incentive to share the information below with you. While I will work for chocolate (it it weren’t for my blogging ethics, a […] Read more…
