Review: Fishbites Soft Swimmies
I think my children are part fish. They love the water and can't wait for Summer to arrive. Of course, living in Ohio, it seems that summer comes later and later every year. So when the weather finally warms up enough to jump in the pool, my kids are lined up and ready. Even the littlest one. That's part of why I am loving being a part of Momfluence and their Summer Gift Guide so much. I get the opportunity to bring you some awesome items that my family and my kids enjoy. I was recently offered the chance to check out ...
Avert Your Eyes! Calvin Klein Crosses New Lines of Indecency
I'm no prude by any sense of the word. OK maybe I've never done what the three, wait. Four. Wait... five or so models in Calvin Klein's Spring and Summer campaign ads are doing but I'm not a prude. I've been there, done that and have four kids to show for it. Still, the latest jean advertisements to come from the famed and edgy fashion mogul Calvin Klein are more than enough to have me calling foul and wishing he'd develop an ad that actually made me want to buy CK jeans and not have me covering my eyes and my ...
Homemade Ice Cream and Summers Gone By
[caption id="attachment_707" align="alignleft" width="70" caption="photo courtesy of wral.com"][/caption] Most people who know me, know that I am not the world's best cook or baker. There are a few things that I can make well and I can probably count all of them on one hand. Yet, still somehow I manage to amaze my kids and myself from time to time, most times it has little to do with food. Last night was one of those nights. Somewhere in our travels we had aquired an old electric ice cream maker. I have no clue where it came from but it looked like a wooden ...
Is there a Wrong Age for Becoming a Mom?
[caption id="attachment_695" align="alignleft" width="300" caption="Photo by Adrian via stock.xchng"][/caption] At first glance you might want to answer no right? Me too. Then I started thinking about friends of mine who graduated from high school with a baby on their hip. When I graduated, I could name at least five girls from my circle of friends who were either pregnant or had already had a baby. But teen pregnancy is nothing new; it’s just out in the open today as opposed to decades ago when teen moms were sent away to have their children. When I think of a young mom today, the ...
This kind of news scares me as a parent
I'm sure everyone has seen recently the mom in Minnesota who defied a court order for her son to receive chemo for Hodgkins Lymphoma that has spread or the mom found guilty in Wisconsin for not getting her daughter medical care for Diabetes, and using prayer to try and heal her . The girl died of diabetes in 2008. [caption id="attachment_675" align="alignleft" width="300" caption="courtesy Jason Morrison"][/caption] Both of these stories scare me to no end. But not for the reasons you may think. Let me explain before you leave, thinking I'm a parenting freak. Both of my kids were immunized and do ...

Powder Art Review
Around here, painting and art projects are usually Daddy’s domain and crafty things are more my cup of tea. I can trace and cut and glue and design, but I cannot draw or paint. Finding those kind of projects that I can do with my preschooler can be difficult. When I was offered a Powder Art kit to try out, I visited the website and immediately got...
