So, it's no secret that I am an absolute bookworm. So, it shouldn't come as a surprise that my kids would be raised as such as well. In fact, my kindergartner is such an avid reader and loves reading so much that he's already started reading some books on his own. It's an important part of his daily routine. You've read our posts in the past; you know how much we love our variety and well, as a health-conscious mom, I like the good treat every once in awhile, but I'm all for healthy options for gifts as well! So, with that, I'd like to introduce a very special place that has now become one of my favorites...Wonderbly.

Summer is finally here! It's so beautiful, sunny, and warm! Summer activities keep the kids so busy. How do you guys cope and deal? This is our first summer doing activities with our preschooler and it has been hectic running around with work, daycare pick up, meals and getting him to activities in time. They do miss their friends though without school so sometimes, it's nice to see some of them at activities or even sleep overs!

Mario and Luigi, household favorites with my brother and I as we were little. We loved playing our Nintendo Super Mario games. In fact...begged for our first Super Nintendo system from her parents together...with the Super Mario game kit. So, yep, we were definitely going to watch the new Super Mario Movie. We even loved playing Super Mario Kart as we got older, had the Nintendo Gameboy and DS and everything. My preschooler had the ? box shirt before he even knew who Mario and Luigi were. LOL! So yep, my husband and I were super excited to see The Super Mario Bros. Movie!

Spring is in the air!
