But what I really want you to see is the video below!

Ever been held captive by a sleeping child? I know I have, although not actually IN a baby bed, lol! Gotta love this dad…

After coming across a conversation on Facebook by one of my sister bloggers, Christine Wolf, talking about how exhausting all the driving kids around can be, I thought I would write a post with some tips to make the most of the car time.

Do these things everyday

Things to make life better and easier

Sometimes we long for an adventurous life. We want to throw caution to the wind and go with the flow. And in some occasions that may be a good thing, but for the most part, routines and habits can be a good thing. Having the important daily things on autopilot, if you will, gives you more time and more brain power for doing all those other exciting things, even if it is just playing Legos with your kids or taking a walk in the park.

1. Drink enough water.  And be sure [...]

Elves, elves, everywhere!

Create a fun new tradition in your family!

I first saw an Elf on the Shelf book and elf about 5 years ago at a holiday event in Atlanta. My kids were older so I was not so intrigued by it, but thought it was a cute idea. One thing that did intrigue me was that the founder and author of the book was from the metro Atlanta area (my hometown).

Well a few years have passed by, and with the phenomenal growth of social media, The Elf on the Shelf has become almost a cult movement (I don’t mean that in a BAD way!) Parents [...]
