When Summer hits, your feet hit the ground running too. With swimming lessons, camping trips, sports camps, trips to the library, family reunions, and late nights, finding time to do your regular errands, like grocery shopping and doing laundry, don't always get done like they need to be. Unfortunately, this leads to oops moments when you find yourself needing something you don't have. Like when you discover you're out of diapers or wipes right as your child has a major blowout as you're heading out the door to the library. Or you can't find any swim diapers and friends are waiting for you at the river to go swimming. Or ...

On Facebook the other day one of my local friends, Crystal, tagged me in a post with her personal Walmart Grocery Pickup review. Our local Walmart has recently become a participating Walmart Grocery that offers free curbside pick-up service. My friend was a fan. She said: I just tried this and it was amazing! I took my time shopping, double checked my list against my week's meal plan, price compared to other stores to make sure I was getting the best deal. And I did it all without my kids whining through the store or running down the aisles. So amazing!  I will also say that they pick you the best produce. Better than I pick on ...

I was given this great new toy to try out thanks to Sverve and Walmart, but all opinions are my own. A couple weeks ago, on Saturday, October 4, 2014, my family and I headed to our local Walmart to check out their #ChosenByKids Toyland Event! There were two nice workers set up at a booth who showed us the toys, explained Walmart's layaway program, and they let our kids play with toys! All three of my kids loved the Fur Real Get Up and GoGo My Walking Pup Pet Plush, one of the two toys available for my kids to play with. They all also really liked the Fisher-Price® Little People® City Skyway.  We went ahead and picked it up for ...

My daughters pretty much wear skirts every single day, and love dresses (although one really does love her sweat pants and sweat shirts too!). However, to celebrate the release of the Sleeping Beauty DVD from the Walt Disney Vault, they will definitely be ...

My husband just started his doctoral degree program and I couldn't be more thrilled for him. He'll be busy this semester for sure, with three classes, seminars to attend, and math labs to teach. And he again will have long days, needing to be on campus from about 8am to 8pm on Tuesdays and Thursdays, in addition to classes the other days of the week too. As a family of five living off of his very modest graduate assistantship income (and unfortunately a bit of student loans), ...
