We took our girls to Orlando last weekend and had three jam-packed days full of fun. But the best part about the weekend, aside from the constant smiles across both of my girls’ faces, was the cost. My husband and I have been taking Aubrey for weekend getaways to Orlando since she was barely old enough to walk. And we …

Late Monday night, my family and I returned home after spending a week out of town. As I started the unpacking process, which is never fun, I quickly began to realize that there would be no possible way to fit all of my girls’ new toys into their already jammed-packed rooms.
As I sat in the middle of my 5-year-old’s floor, …

Before we decided to have our second child, hubby and I did A LOT of talking, most of our discussions revolving around Aubrey. How would she handle a baby in the house after being an only child for so long? Would she be able to “share” her parents? Would we still be able to give her all the time and …

When we moved into our new home, I thought it was important that my husband and I talk to our eldest about fire safety. We wanted to be sure she knew how to safely get out of the house and where to meet the rest of the family if – God forbid – a fire were to start. While talking …

Like any other parent, my daily to-do list far exceeds the hours in a day. I often find myself stuck in a whirlwind of doing the dishes and laundry, mopping, dusting, working, paying bills, feeding the fish, chauffeuring the kids and making beds, meals and appointments. But last night, it hit me that that there is one “mommy” responsibility that …

Aubrey, my 5-going-on-15-year-old little girl, recently informed my husband and me that she and a little boy at her school were “boyfriend and girlfriend.” I think it goes without saying that my jaw hit the floor when the news of my daughter’s kindergarten romance hit my ears, but I tried to keep my composure as I looked back at my …

My 5-year-old has always been obsessed with animals, flowers and anything else found outdoors. So my husband and I knew that when we moved into our new home, we wanted to plant a butterfly garden for our nature-loving daughter. But what we didn’t know was how much fun the process would be for the entire family.
About a month ago, we …

At 3:30 a.m. Saturday morning, I awoke to a loud pounding on my front door. I jumped up, my heart practically beating through my chest, and sent my husband to go check on the noise. My husband struggled for what seemed like a few minutes to identify who was on the other side of our door. After a nervous call …

I am always looking for deals, discounts and freebies to save my family money. I get so excited for BOGOs at Publix, kids-eat-free nights and free family fun. So when I saw that Chick-fil-A was GIVING AWAY breakfast for those that made a reservation, I was on it!
Anyone 13 and older can make a reservation for free breakfast during the …

On Monday morning, our house started stirring much earlier than it had in the past ten weeks of summer. It was Aubrey’s first day of kindergarten! We had been preparing Aubrey for her big day for quite a while, and she was (surprisingly) anxious to hop out of bed, put on her carefully selected first-day attire and get out the …
