Raise your hand if you’ve ever scratched your head on the weekend, wondering over a cool activity to do with your kids that didn’t involve seeing yet another movie or building a fort for the upteenth time in row. Nothing against forts, we love them in these parts. They just tend to lose their luster […]

Looking to grow your blog? This conference not only has all the smart scoop you need with incredible sessions, there is loads of support, friendship and fun to be had as well!

For the past three years, I’ve been hanging out in a pretty cool place: the behind-the-scenes corners of the BlogU conference.

Kids teach us things EVERY SINGLE DAY! Low on energy? Needing a powerful boost? Check this smart idea from my son and never look back! It makes such a difference in our day-to-day, I can't believe it! Proof we should listen to those kiddos more ;)

Book Club Holds Court

February 5, 2016 By Meredith 16 Comments

We are so excited to read this new hot pick book! Dig into this best seller with us in our virtual book club. Any and all readers welcome--the only stipulation? Pajamas are a MUST! xo

As an avid non-fan of bitter cold winter days, naming my favorite part of the tundra-like existence is an easy call: reading. Reading obsessively, continually. In all corners of the day and night and cagey-kid filled hours when you resort to shamelessly bribing the cherubs with bonus iPad time so you can snag just 15 minutes of peace. […]
