Quick & Easy Meals with Minute Rice!
One thing that really helped me when our family grew was getting our family on a meal schedule and simplifying our meals. We try to stick to the basics that we know everyone will love each week & the kids really enjoy knowing what’s coming on the schedule. We throw in a few different recipes here and there but for the most part we stick to the same schedule and it’s really helped make life easier & the kids actually eat dinner! Rice is a staple for a lot of our meals & I am loving these Minute Rice Cups! They are so easy to pair with your favorite ingredients…

The Perfect Spring Basket With Moose Toys
Spring is my favorite time of year and to kick off the season I always put together a Spring basket for the kids. I found so many cute options that were perfect to fill up a spring basket or to enjoy for another special occasion! The Moose Toys line has so many fun options and they are always the toys my kids run to first when browsing. For our spring baskets, I decided to go with The Shopkins Real Littles- Snack Time, Treasure X Dino Gold Armored Egg, Real Little Micro Crafts, Little Live Pets Surprise Chick and the HGJZ Glow Shifters! The Shopkins Real Littles- Snack Time Refresh has…

Staycation with Wyndham I-Drive & ICON Park in Orlando!
This past month we were invited to stay at the Wyndham I-Drive location in Orlando, FL. Traveling with 3 kids takes a lot of planning but the team at Wyndham went over and beyond to make sure our stay was amazing (and comfortable)! The first thing I noticed upon arrival was that the location of the resort was amazing. We were so close to a ton of Orlando attractions and even walking distance to lots of restaurants and shops. When we checked into the hotel we were very impressed with the beautiful lobby and how quickly the check in process was. We decided to explore a little after check in…

Lush Decor Toddler Room Update
Over the past couple of months we have been on the hunt for new bedding for Haven’s room. She really wanted polk a dot bedding to match the garland decor in her room so we started our search. I was surprised to find that most of the toddler bedding we looked at was not very comfortable and it also wasn’t made with the best materials. We wanted to find something that wouldn’t need to be replaced in a few months so we did some research and came across Lush Decor. We were very impressed with the selection of toddler and kid bedding they had and their commitment to quality. Their…

Happy Birthday Fiona Book Party
As a family, we love to find new book series that we can dive into with the kids. When the girls find a book they love they will read it over and over so finding a series that we can follow along with is perfect for us. Last summer, we introduced the Fiona the Hippo brand to you guys as one of our favorite Zonderkidz book series. Fiona is a famous hippo from the Cincinnati Zoo that was born prematurely at only 29 pounds. Her inspiring story of spunk and determination to become a happy & healthy hippo is the inspiration for this book series. Each book captures the best storylines that…

Morning’s with Indian River Select
Mornings with Indian River Select There’s nothing better in the morning than a fresh glass of OJ! Indian River Select has been our family favorite for a long time. Being a born and raised Floridian, I’m picky about my OJ, and Indian River checks all the boxes for our family. Their OJ is 100% premium juice that has no added sugar, additives, or preservatives. It also has a smooth fresh taste that our toddler loves! When Indian River Select was founded their goal was to create a better orange juice for families that tastes amazing. What started out as a small boutique-style orange juice brand now has an amazing…

Reading fun with Fiona Books
Reading is definitely a top priority in our home and we love to find new books to add to our collection. I have learned that successful reading with our toddler is all about making it fun and finding books that interest her. The Fiona books series has quickly become a new favorite with my 3-year-old daughter Haven. We love that all of the books have beautiful messages tied into them around determination, never giving up (Haven’s favorite slogan is Girls Never Give Up), helping friends to feel better, laughing, kindness, and accepting each other differences. Each book is written in a way that keeps toddlers and kids engaged in a…

Cymbiotika Nutrition Review
Our family is constantly on the go so we are always looking for ways to stay healthy and keep our energy flowing. We recently tried out Cymbiotika’s Synergy C Vitamin C and collagen formula and their B12 + B6 Mineral supplement. We were so impressed with how the company creates their organic vegan supplements and how quickly you can feel them working! Cymbiotika creates their supplements by using only the highest quality organic, wildcrafted, non-GMO ingredients ( they also taste great!). When I first opened the package, I was so curious from reading the labels that I instantly went to their website to read more about how they create these…

Family Mantra Board
This year, we decided to make a family mantra board of a few commitments we set as a family. We set our focus on more family time & all things health like many others after the craziness of 2020. I love the idea of having family goals that are simple & attainable. To make it fun, we decided to make this board to hang in the kitchen as a reminder. I’m all about a good vision board, so when the girls get older I’d love to make individual ones for their rooms as well. I found this whiteboard at our local Michael’s and used scrapbook stickers to create the designs…

Baby Product Guide
When it comes to baby products, I always turn to my mama friends for advice and suggestions so I’m excited to share with you all a few products that have worked best for us. We reused a lot from our first pregnancy but I also found a few new things this year that have been game-changers with our second daughter. These are products that worked for us but remember it’s really trial and error when it comes to finding what will work best for your baby. A product that worked for us may not be the best for your little one but hopefully this can be a guide to start…
