Label your Little one!!

So, it's my first borns' first time going to school away from me!  I have gone back and forth between being completely excited and proud of the kid she is becoming; to an emotional mess who isn't ready to let her out in that big bad world.  To avoid the emotions I have been busying myself with getting her ready.  I have gotten all her supplies, first day of school outfit, meet the teacher outfit, back up supplies, showing her the pictures online of her teacher, talking about how to handle not nice kids, pretty much anything that comes to mind to keep myself from the emotional side of it.  After spending all this money though the last thing I want is for her stuff to get lost or taken by mistake so do I ruin it by dragging out the Sharpie?  

Black Friday!

Black Friday is most mom's superbowl.  We spend all year prepping, watching deals to make sure we get the best, putting cash aside so we can afford the things we want without putting debt on the family, maybe going to the same stores so we can manuever through better since we are familiar with the layout, and then collecting those Wed adds that we go through comparing and planning our driving schedule to hit the sales and get what we need.  We will stay up or get up at ridiculous hours just to brave the cold only to sweat while we juggle shopping carts or multiple boxes fueled by sheer will and caffeine.  I love the deals and hate the rest, but what else can you do?  Some of us will be able to pull double duty and shop online while we are in line.  Check out these Black Friday Deals!

Conquer Spring Allergies Naturally with Hyland’s

Allergy season is here!  I have never in my life had allergies before, until I moved to Arizona.  This year has been the worst!  A few weeks ago I was so congested and my eyes were so swollen I was scaring my clients!  The kids I care for have been having allergy issues as well and some have even required medicine!  It's insane!  So, with nothing to block the pollen that blows across the valley I'm stuck trying to find ways to help ease my allergies!  

SAVE with the San Antonio Vacation Experience

This post brought to you by SAVE . All opinions are 100% mine.

It's summer and I'm constantly trying to think of close vacation spots for the family.  Being birders, naturally the thought of Texas has crossed my mind as it's a birding hotspot.  Plus, I lived there for a few years as a kid and am always curious on what has changed. So, my first stop in looking at Texas was my old childhood playground of San Antonio, Texas.  They have a program called SAVE – San Antonio Vacation Experience.  Who doesn't like to save, right?
