Back to school season also means that it's time to replenish the medicine cabinet with these must haves.

Back to School Medicine Cabinet Must Haves

I have received information and materials from JOHNSON & JOHNSON CONSUMER, Inc., McNeil Consumer Healthcare Division, LLC. The opinions stated are my own. This is a sponsored post. #PositivelyPrepared #BacktoSchool #CollectiveBias Back to school is one of the busiest and possibly one of the more stressful times of the year for families. And that’s not even considering the seemingly endless list of school supplies that even the youngest of kids bring to your attention. But before we talk about what your kids need at school, let’s talk about what they need at home. As parents, we make sure that they have food and that they have healthy meals. We make sure that they’re going to have clothes to wear and that they take care of…

It is a commonly believed myth that in order to eat healthy, you need to spend a lot of money. I want to put that to rest here and now.

It’s a commonly believed myth that in order to eat healthy food, you need to spend a lot of money. Believe me, I bought into this too. And it’s not difficult to buy into that when you walk down the aisles of a grocery store and compare prices. But, it is possible to save money and still eat healthy. You just need to know where to shop. Thank you to Whole Foods for sponsoring this conversation. While I was compensated for this post, that does not change my opinion. Going back to school can be a pricey time of the year as a parent. School supply lists that are seemingly never ending come pouring in and then there’s a matter of lunches if your child…

This shop has been compensated by Collective Bias, Inc. and its advertiser. All opinions are mine alone. #MegaPrepped #CollectiveBias I will preface this post by saying: I am not a DIY person. In my head, oh yes of course! But in reality? Not so much. It’s something that I would love to change and I know that in order to become more comfortable with projects and crafts; I need to do them. I wanted to start with something simple that I could draw and then put into action. Of course, I still needed a little bit of help with this project and thank goodness- Kyle is much more of a hands-on DIY person than I am. Of course now that I fully realize that, there…

So You Want to Be an Overnight Millionaire? Don’t Be a Blogger

If you’ve been following my recent monthly online income reports, you’ll know that I’ve had a fairly successful string of months. Would I be able to survive on this income or support my family? Probably not. But it’s definitely a step in the right direction. Now while I am more than pleased to have reached this milestone, it’s a matter of sustaining that and growing that. Blogging, however, can be an unpredictable and stressful game. One month may be amazing and the next month could be dismal. And with the amount of hours that goes into it? Sometimes I wonder if it’s really worth the effort. To be perfectly honest with you, it wouldn’t be. If I were just in this for money and making…

I’m More Than a Mommy Blogger

First, let me say this- I am proud to be a mom blogger. For that matter, you can call me a mommy blogger and I won’t be offended. At heart, that’s what I am. I’m a mom with a blog. But there’s so much more to my blogging career than just being a mommy blogger. For one, you’re discounting that (as a mostly one-person team), I do my own tech support (within my ability), I schedule my own social media, I answer (late) my own emails. I send out my own newsletter (when I remember) and I create my own images. Sure, I don’t take all of my own pictures yet but that will be changing over time too. And I’m not alone in this….

How to Let Go of People and Toxic Relationships

We all know that sometimes we need to let go of stuff. Decluttering on a regular basis, or maybe twice a year, is a good practice to keep. The same really does apply to people and relationships as well. Now, I’m not suggesting that you go and completely “clean” out your life. But, it couldn’t hurt to evaluate the relationships that you have. This includes your romantic relationship and your friendships. Take a look at how each relationship impacts your life. Does spending time with a particular individual leave you feeling more drained than refreshed? Is their negativity impacting your life? Or maybe you have a friend who only seems to spend time with you when they need something. If that’s the case, you have…
