How This Blogging Mom is Protecting Her Eyes

“This sponsored post is a part of the campaign “Protecting America’s Eyes” by Reticare in order to inform U.S. citizens about the importance of eye protection from device screens. The opinions expressed in this post are entirely my own.” As a blogger, I spend quite a bit of time in front of a screen. It’s almost unavoidable. And though I try to limit my time on the computer, there are times that I will go longer stretches. I like to work in batches whenever possible because it helps me to save time in the long run. Or at least that’s what I tell myself. But I also know that by spending longer periods of time in front of the computer, it’s more time that my…

How to Keep Your Bathroom Stocked and Stacked

The post is brought to you by Activate by Bloglovin and its advertiser. All opinions are mine alone. Powered By: Okay moms, let’s be real for a second- what are five things that you can never have enough of? For us, with a toddler and teenagers, it’s this: coffee wipes milk soap toilet paper While you may not consider these essentials in your home; for us they definitely are. We always make sure to have these items stocked. This is especially true during the school year when life tends to get busier and we don’t always have time to make frequent trips to the grocery store. It’s during this time of the year that I start to turn to the convenience of online shopping- and…

A crowd pleasing appetizer, this three ingredient bacon and cheddar cheese ball is so easy to make!

3 Ingredient Bacon and Cheddar Cheese Ball

Bacon and cheese is one of my favorite combinations. And that’s also because bacon and cheese are two of my favorite foods. So any opportunity that I can get to combine them? I’m all for it. That includes appetizers to main dishes. One of my favorite appetizers to make lately is a bacon and cheddar cheese ball. And the best part about it? It’s so easy and starts with three ingredients. From there, of course, you can jazz it up as much as you’d like. This pairs well with crackers, bread, or if you’re like Squeaker, just dig in with a spoon. The recipe is also easy to double in terms of quantities so if you need a larger one or want to make multiple…

Pets Mini Tot School Unit

Pets Mini Tot School Unit

  This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of Mott’s®. The opinions and text are all mine. #SecretLifeOfMotts As we continue our incredibly lazy and informal tot school over the summer, I go with Squeaker’s lead. Some days she’s definitely more interested in sitting down at the table with me to do something and other days, she’d rather just play. And though we do try to limit screen time, sometimes things on TV will catch her attention. I use those moments to plan for a mini tot school unit that we can spread out over a few days or just do a few activities in the morning. “The Secret Life of Pets © 2016 Universal Studios.

Morning Essentials for a Productive Blogging Day

The post is brought to you by Activate by Bloglovin and its advertiser. All opinions are mine alone. Powered By: Are you a morning person? And for that matter, what type of morning person are you? Are you ready to take on the day or could you use an extra hour or two to find your capability to function? I’ve never been a true morning person. Sure, I can get up early when I need to but the thought of sleeping in never seems to register with my body on the weekends. Still, I try to make the most of it and go about what I need to do to get myself and my kids ready for the day. And for me that means having…

Is Network Marketing a Good Fit for Moms Who Want to Work at Home?

Is Network Marketing a Good Fit for Moms Who Want to Work at Home?

As you know, I’m making the transition from being a stay at home mom to being a work at home mom. The transition hasn’t always been easy as I’m also trying to figure out what the base of my work will be. Sure, it may seem simple enough- brainstorm a list of ideas for working at home and then go from there. But that’s in theory and sometimes theory is a lot easier than putting everything into action. I’ve had many business ideas in the past, most of which never came to fruition. And that was all for lack of taking action. So if there’s anyone to blame for my non-business success? It’s me. So why is it different now? Why do I still feel…
