Britax Introduces Two New Car Seats The family took a quick road trip over Mother's Day weekend, of which I will tell you all about soon, and I just kept looking back at my babies all snugged in their Britax car seats. I felt comforted by the superior quality of their seats. Even before I became a Britax Ambassador, I ensured the safety of my child in Britax products. This post is sponsored, but I would write about Britax even if it wasn't. They're that good. Britax recently debuted two new car seats to their impressive line of child safety products - the Frontier 90 and the Pinnacle 90, … [Read more...]

Show a Special Mom How Much You Care Everyone, I want you to meet Baby Max. My best friend's first … [Read more...]

It’s Time to Start Building Our Financial Legacy

It’s Time to Start Building Our Financial Legacy
April 30, 2013 By 5 Comments

Last Saturday, I left Daddy D and the kids to gather with other women looking to enhance their financial realities at the Women's Money Conference. To say I was inspired and motivated would be an understatement. Building a financial legacy for our children is crucial. We can talk about building a legacy of love, of identity, of tolerance. We can document our food cultures, travels, ambitions and hopes for their futures. But, without setting a purposed financial legacy, we are letting the world's values dictate how our babies will handle one of the biggest aspects of our society - … [Read more...]

Backyard Shopping: Getting Ready for Memories

Backyard Shopping: Getting Ready for Memories
April 26, 2013 By 1 Comment

The Search for the Wooden Swing Set After a play date last week at a friend's house, the kids and I fell in love with their wooden swing set. (I took this snapshot of Sebas swinging away with my phone.) I've been wanting to get one for our own backyard, so I asked my friend where she had got it. I was totally thinking she would say the regular toy depot type stores, so when she said Sears.com, I was shocked. Online? Ya, that's exactly what I thought! But she said it was super easy - with free delivery to the store - and they had it built the following weekend. That same night, I ventured … [Read more...]

Sebastian’s Very Hungry Caterpillar Party {part two}

Sebastian’s Very Hungry Caterpillar Party {part two}
April 25, 2013 By 1 Comment

I'm finally getting to post the second part of Sebastian's Very Hungry Caterpillar party recap. I can't believe that my little man is heading into his first toddler year, fast and furiously, without so much as a blink. His first birthday party was a blast, filled with traditions we made when Alina turned one. When I think this party is the last first birthday party I will ever host, I do get a little sad. They grow up so fast! (Check out the first post of his Very Hungry Caterpillar party) My sister helped with the party decor (duh), which included this pom pom caterpillar. I have a … [Read more...]
