Ever Wonder How Your Kids View You? + $25 Gift Card Giveaway

This post is brought to you by Office Depot® OfficeMax® and The Motherhood. However, all opinions are my own.

ever-wonder-how-your-kids-view-you-01Parenting is no joke! I mean, let’s face it…It’s tough work. It’s constant, never-ending work. People often ask me what I do all day since I’m a stay at home mom. That question is usually pretty insulting to me because I think most people have the perception that I sit on the couch and eat ice cream all day. In reality, that is far from the case and truthfully, I’d really like to answer their question with the myriad of things I do day in and day out. Listen, just because I don’t work a 9 to 5, doesn’t mean I sit around all day.Continue Reading

Strawberry Banana Milkshake for Picky Eaters


I have been compensated by PediaSure for this post; however, I am sharing my own thoughts. All opinions are my own.

Strawberry-Banana-Shake-for-Picky-Eaters-01Now that we are back in our school routine, I am finding it a bit difficult getting my little one to eat at home after school. I’m not sure if he is either still full from lunch or maybe tired, but I am always on top of my kids’ nutrition and the things they are eating. Over summer, he had a pretty good appetite and ate virtually anything we put in front of him. However, changes, such as school, routine and of course age can alter a child’s eating habits.Continue Reading

Family Fun at Dolphin Mall Miami

I have been compensated in the form of a Gift Card and/or received the product/service at a reduced price or for free in exchange for an honest review of Dolphin Mall.

Dolphin-Mall-08Is a couple more weeks too much to ask for? I feel like we need a vacation from our summer vacation! There’s been a whole lot of relaxing going on in the past few weeks, but that’s totally a good thing. It was much needed. Sometimes, we all just need a little time to decompress and wind down. Often times, I feel like there’s not much to do locally. And anything that is here, we have done on several occasions so it’s basically played out for us. 

When I’m feeling brave enough to venture out with my two littles, it takes thought and planning. My children are very well-behaved, and I’m not just saying that for the sake of this post. They really are! However, shopping is a full blown mission to which I’d like to abort before we’re even out of the car. I usually go alone to our local mall because the kids get bored, but when we go to Dolphin Mall in Miami, the kids don’t give me any issue. There is so much for them to do that they sort of ‘deal’ with me. They know there’s a light at the end of the tunnel. Continue Reading

Back to School with OshKosh B’gosh +25% off Coupon #BacktoBgosh

This post is sponsored by Everywhere Agency on behalf of OshKosh B’gosh; however, all thoughts and opinions expressed are my own.

Back-to-School-with-Osh-Kosh-05Wow! I can’t believe summer is coming to an end already. I have to admit; I am a little bummed. Most parents are thrilled when school is back in session, but I am always totally less than that. Especially this year. My little guy is headed off to Pre-Kindergarten and I am going to have some serious empty nest issues when he and Bunbun are in school. Thank goodness I have the dogs, right?Continue Reading

Love of The Journey + Summer Fruit Spritzers

Summer-Fruit-Spritzer-01You know that line…something about how time flies? Well, I just realized that it’s been over a year since I started my blog. Last summer, with the help of a very dear friend, I made the decision to begin my blogging journey. While many may think it’s easy to do, I beg to differ. There’s so much that goes in to all we do and it doesn’t just happen overnight. It took me a lot of work, blood, sweat and tears (real tears)…literally…to get where I am today.

I’ve struggled with many things from gaining a strong following to complete and utter failure with great ideas that I just couldn’t execute on. I went from photographing newborns and children to shooting mainly food. My friends who are renowned photographers have complimented my work and have repeatedly told me that they think I found my niche. It took a few years in the photography realm of things, but I finally found my passion and it was all for the love of the journey. I am so happy where I am today. I am successful, I am happy and that’s all that matters!Continue Reading

Nighttime-Scavenger-Hunt-01Don’t you just love summer nights? The kids are home and you can totally go off of the ‘school schedule’ and have some fun. My littles have been out of school for over a month now and my biggest challenge has been getting them outdoors during the day. The heat and humidity hasn’t been so friendly this summer, so unless it involves a pool…it’s a no-go during the day.

Bunbun has been quite the night owl as of late and since the weather is much better after the sun goes down, we’ve been spending some evenings outdoors and Lighting up our summer with Energizer®! Read on to find out more and don’t forget to enter the giveaway!Continue Reading
