Disclaimer: As an ambassador for Goldfish Swim School, I’m oh-so happy to regale you with the gals’ experiences for all things aquatic…and give you the down low on this snazzy joint. While our lessons have been comped, I receive no other compensation and my opinions are super strictly my own. But you probably already knew that. *** I am good at many things. I am really, really bad at so, so, so many more things. Like, abysmally bad. Embarrassingly bad. {Read More}

As a member of Netflix’s Stream Team, I’m thrilled to bring freshly curated content straight to your grateful eyeballs each month. May means music!

Netflix is feelin’ me this month with its list of fling-your-arms-wide and sing-it-to-the-rafters featured titles, just in time for that season of spring musicals (not to mention spring {Read More}

Disclosure: I’m participating in this awesome program on behalf of Champions For Kids and The Motherhood, but all thoughts and opinions- and crazy children- are my own. *** As I write this, my little gals have consumed their third bowls of cereal.

Netflix In March: Science Project Perfection.
March 15, 2014 By 4 Comments
While my kiddos are still a tad too young to join the ranks of blue-ribbon winning Science Fair participants, no one’s too young to explore cause and effect, further their natural curiosity, or engage in a little problem-solving. (For my younger daughter, that’s just called Monday Morning By 9am.) Have I mentioned my love of Netflix and their curated content for every age, stage, and er- energy level? And I have I mentioned that I’m one of the newest members {Read More}
