With the impending birth of our newborn, I’ve been stocking up on lots of lovely {and oh-so-cute} Pampers diapers. I joined their Pampers Gifts to Grow program eons ago and love all the fun products you can trade your points in for. Today I’ve got two brand new Pampers Gifts to Grow Codes that you…
While we welcome the official spring season later this week, I don’t know about you but I am certainly looking forward to making some fun home decorating changes around here. I tend to love lots of white decor in the spring and summer — well, year ’round, really — and I also love incorporating a…
Growing up, reading was always stressed as such an important subject in school. I’m happy to say that now, as a mom, I am carrying on that philosophy with my own kids. One of the things that I love about my kids’ school is that they stress early reading habits from the moment kids set…

One could argue that perhaps it’s because I have a February birthday that I enjoy the month so much. I tend to have a month-long celebration thanks to…
I've always said it's no coincidence that I've found myself as the mother of a house full of boys. I am such a sports fanatic and love that there's no shortage of sports-minded males in my brood. And, when it comes to sports, football is the ultimate!! Blame it on the Texas gal in me…
