To be brutally honest, last year I completely over did Christmas. I bought WAY to many gifts for my family too the point that my son still has some unopened toys in his closet even today. My son is my first child and only child. As you could have imagined, I got so caught up in trying to make sure that he had everything he could ever want that I, myself, lost sight of the true meaning of Christmas and the holiday spirit. The true spirit of Christmas is something I would so much rather pass on and share with my family than material items. This year, to make sure I don't get sucked back into all of the commercialism of Christmas, I decided to take after my friend Corrine from Wonder Mom Keep Reading

Are you ready for summer vacation? If you're like me, you've been counting the days for the busy school season to end, but then a week into summer you start wishing school would start again (seriously). It's great to finally have time with the kids, but it doesn't take long before they start with the "I'm bored!" mantra.

One of our favorite activities as a family was family game night. We loved playing all sorts of games, from hippos that were hungry, to trapping a mouse, to making words (not Keep Reading
