Handy Items for Your Summer Road Trips

By

It’s day four of our summer vacation and already my kids are looking for more to do. You should see my parenting style these days. I’m certain they’ve eaten too many popsicles and probably watched too much TV. I’ve known for a while that going into this summer, in particular, may prove challenging for me because my youngest is only 7 weeks old.

Easy Playground Snack Packs

By

Over the years, I’ve gotten better at packing snacks super quick. With little kids, I’ve learned you have a small window to do just about anything, so you’ve got to move fast. In my opinion, as long as you have snacks in your pantry and refrigerator, you will be ready to leave for a car ride at a moment’s notice.

Celebrating Dunkin’ Donuts Iced Coffee Day is a Family Tradition

By

We don’t always go out to eat, but I always have food on me. It’s helped me on so many occasions when we are running to and fro. I will admit we frequent Dunkin’ Donuts at least two times a week, though. If you’re from Rhode Island, too, I’m willing to bet you go there just as much or more! 😜

UpSpring Prenatal+: Not Your Typical Pill to Swallow

By

The most ironic thing about pregnancy is that you develop mommy brain, yet this time in your life brings a host of things to remember. Thankfully, the books and apps are there to remind you what not to eat, how many calories to intake, what symptoms you may be feeling and how important it is to take a prenatal vitamin.
