Kid Friendly Cookies: A Mom’s Failed Attempt at Getting Her Kids Involved in the Kitchen
I would like to preface this story with a little about our family dynamic. I am a stay at home mom with a six year old in Kindergarten and four year old triplets in preschool. All boys. I know, I’m outnumbered. However, I have actually had much success with them in the kitchen. They love to help me make muffins and cupcakes, so I thought I could handle letting them help out with some cute Valentine cookies, that I would then write up a cute post on and share with other moms who love to do this type of activity. However, I suppose they just weren’t feeling it, because it…

Soccer Shots Athletic Program for Kids in Mobile, AL
Soccer Shots is gearing up for their Spring season in Mobile! Introducing your child to the world of sports at a young age is beneficial for you and your child. They will learn important skills and build character by participating in team building exercises. It does not hurt that they will also run off a lot of energy when they are at this busy young age. It allows parents to observe new traits and skill potential about their kids in a hands-on social setting. Soccer is a great sport for younger kids because it is easy to learn and helps improve social communication among peers, not to mention it is…

The Wyndy app is expanding to Mobile, Alabama and we could not be more excited!

We have all been there, but now we hope to never go back to those days. Would you believe us if we told you a qualified babysitter is only a click away? We were skeptical at first too, but we would…

Moms should be given a medal around the holiday season. We prepare meals, shop the best deals, decorate the entire house, go to all the events, wrap every gift, and as if that weren’t enough, we send out Holiday greeting cards to our friends and family. Well, not all moms do ALL of these things, but we personally love sending out Christmas cards every year. It is so fun to look at the different holiday card ideas and designs when searching for the perfect layout for your family’s pictures.

Pregnancy and Infancy Loss: What Not to Say
If only one person in the world could relate to this post, I would still share it. Unfortunately, the number of women that experience a miscarriage, stillbirth, SIDS, and other types of infancy loss is quite high. If you are part of the ‘1 in 4 women’ statistic, know that we are too. Personally we aren’t sure that the numbers make it any easier. While a lot of women can relate, we all deal with the loss differently and some experiences are more traumatic than others, but this is not a contest for who has the worst case scenario. It is heartbreaking for anyone in any of these situations. If…

Beach Trips with Toddlers: What to bring
To all my beach loving mamas that don’t mind a little sand and salty water, our favorite season is almost here! As the spring breakers make their way to the beaches in the next few weeks, we are just getting started here on the gulf coast. Living close enough to the beach to enjoy it every day is a luxury that I do not take for granted. Now that the kids are somewhat self-sufficient, I have a feeling that day trips will likely be a regular occurrence for my family once again. While I know it’s a task with toddlers, I would say it is totally worth the work. It…

Tips for Disney World with a Large Group (Including Toddlers)
Disney World is one of the most popular destinations for a family vacation. We were so fortunate to experience Disney with the kids at such a young age (3 and 4) and we had an amazing time! Our entire group consisted of six adults and five kids. (Our family of six and my in laws.) We learned a lot on this trip and we will definitely be more prepared for the next one. We stayed at the Disney Riviera Resort, which is close to Epcot. My favorite thing about this location was that we could see the Epcot fireworks from our room and we were able to take the skyline…
