Considering your First 5K? Make it a Colorful one! {Knoxville, TN Promo Code & ALL Race Locations Giveaway}

first 5K

I ran my first 5K last year.  Technically, I ran a bit farther before that as I accomplished my goal of running my hometown's 4 Miler on the 4th of July, but still.  Running your first 5K is a special thing.  I couldn't have been happier with my time, because I didn't have one.  I couldn't have been happier with my running buddy, because it was my sweet hubby.  And I couldn't have been happier with the glow I had after the race... If you haven't heard of the Color Me Rad 5K, well, what rock are you living under?  Ok, maybe that's taking it a bit far, but seriously this 5K is taking the country by storm.  Events are selling out months in advance and for good reason.  It is FUN... and colorful.  When I signed up for the race last year, months … [Read more...]

Mickey Mouse Clubhouse: Quest for the Crystal Mickey DVD

MMCH Crystal Mickey Box Art email[1]

Sophia has loved Disney Junior's Mickey Mouse Clubhouse since she was little bitty.  Moreaya has been the same way.  Honestly, I think there's just something about the "Hot Dog" song that just gets you! About a month ago the extended episode "Quest for the Crystal Mickey" aired on Disney Junior and Sophia loved it.  She kept seeing the commercials before it came on and when it finally did air, she didn't move through the whole thing.  She loves "adventure" role play right now and often tells her Dad and I it's time "to go on adventures!"  She "sees" footprints on the ground that need to be followed, she's always talking of being a Detective, and loves to solve a good mystery - seriously.  Somehow we forgot to DVR it, like we … [Read more...]

I have 2 girls under 3 {for a few more days at least}.  I'm tired, energized, and totally ready for the Summer season - all in one!  I love being able to let the girls run wild in the backyard and dreaming of days lounging by the {1 foot deep} pool!  I'm getting myself ready and thought you might be too, so I've created my list of some of the Summer Must-Haves for Moms with Young Kids!

PLAY-DOH Board Books

Playdoh-Blog-Announcement-Image

This review was made possible by Mom Spark Media. Thoughts are my own. I received PLAY-DOH books for the purpose of this review.  Amazon links are affiliate links. My girls love to read.  They would seriously be happier getting a new book than any kind of new toy!  Sophia caught the reading bug a little later than Moreaya.  As soon as Moreaya could crawl, she would always have a book in her hand because she would go straight to them! Sophia has always been a little more of a dependent child.  Although she's totally independent in doing things, she's not satisfied at just looking at pictures.  She wants to know what the words on the page say.  She wants you to read to her.  She wants to interact with the books. With out new PLAY-DOH Board Books, … [Read more...]

My Number 1 Baby Registry Item – Video Baby Monitor

pro-black

I'm by no means a Baby Registry expert, but after having 2 babies I do know what I used and didn't use that was on my Baby Registry Checklist!  When I was pregnant with Sophia {who is now almost 3 - EEK!}, hubby and I tossed around the idea of purchasing a video baby monitor.  We finally concluded that it was just too much of an expense and didn't think it was really needed. Oh boy were we wrong! That is one {along with a few more} of my biggest regrets.  It would have made me sleep easier with my first baby, I know!  We did end up getting a video monitor when Moreaya was first born.  He helped me relax so much more at night when she was transitioned to her crib.  From that moment, any time someone asked me what should and shouldn't be on their … [Read more...]
