I love, love, LOVE our Boon highchair. So much so that I have an entire blog post devoted to it! I tell ALL my mommy friends that it's a higher priced item that is actually worth it . When Boon contacted me recently about reviewing some of their new products I jumped at the opportunity! Boon sent me the Boon Snug Spout , Snug Straw , Span and Forb Mini to review. Boon Snug products are available at both Target as well as Target.com ! New stuff is always fun, especially with kids. Tess is our water baby. Child LOVES drinking water and ALWAYS wants to carry water around with her. We have several different types of cups for her to carry as the sippy cups we use for her milk at meals spill and leak easily. We have tried many different types of water cups for her and it's always a pain digging around to find the matching lid to cup. Boon Snug changes the game of sippy cups...as it's a lid that fits any regular cup. I was intrigued by the design of the...
Hello! My name is Kristin Bolling. I am a wife, to my high school sweet-heart, a mother of 3, (2 of which includes a set of twins), a redeemed rebel, saved by grace, a believer of Jesus Christ, and the author of our family blog, bollingwith5.blogspot.com I was excited when Emily Parker, of Journey Of Parenthood, asked me to do a guest post on her blog. Although I have been featured many times, on several websites, this is my very first guest post but, I am writing about something that I am very passionate about: portion control and serving size. I am not a food science major. I am not a fitness instructor. I am a conscientious person and a loving mother with not only a huge desire to educate myself, but also others about living and maintaining a healthy lifestyle. When my son, almost 11, came home the first week of school, he said to me, “Mom, you wanna know what’s so annoying and unfair?” I replied, “What buddy?” He proceeded saying, “So many...

I have been close friends with Claire since we were in elementary school. She's one of those people who I've always looked up to and who has just the nicest, purest heart. She's guest posting for me today about a topic that we can ALL relate to: OUR SKIN! Whew I know mine has changed in different ways with each pregnancy and I appreciate knowing I'm not alone! (Since she does mention our teenage friendship I couldn't resist the opportunity to post this little gem of us! ha!) ***** Congratulations! You're pregnant! You are officially on the way to becoming a mother. People will start to notice that special glow, which may or may not be, sweat glistening from your brow after spending the morning hugging the toilet. Don't get me wrong: I loved being pregnant. I had morning sickness well into my second trimester, but I still loved it. This is me at 38 weeks pregnant with my little boy, Wright. He was born just before Christmas weighin...
