  • Painted eggs today. The highlight was Wyatt didn’t throw everything on the floor this year. #winning. . And Clara wrote three words all by herself 💕 . UPDATE: I should note that these are the $1.99 dozen craft eggs from @target and we paint them every year. No way am I boiling or touching real egg with these kids 🤣 And the paint is the @crayola washable craft paint. We also used new watercolor markers we are testing out for @jumpoffjo and I’ll have cool coloring footage for that soon. 🌈.
  • The kids and I escaped our flipped up living room yesterday in favor of the park 🤣. The park we chose was the “flower park” at Larry Moore Park on Paso’s south end. I couldn’t get those little monkeys to pose, but wouldn’t it be SO CUTE if I could get them to sit together on this fallen tree, looking outward?! I might even frame that.
  • Can’t a mom just poop in peace without the kids literally turning the house upside down?! What you’re looking at is they moved our giant sectional like, four feet from the wall which, in turn, crushed and flipped the playhouse. 💩💩💩💩.
  • One thing I really love doing as a blogger, is getting the opportunity to review children’s books through the Independent Book Publishers Association. Our latest sample is the Easter basket-worthy “It’s Just a Bunnypalooza” by Brenda Faatz and illustrated by Peter Trimarco. We received this book for free to review, but all opinions are my own. “It’s Just a Bunnypalooza,” designed for kids ages 4 to 8, retails in hardback for $11.70 and is available in my Amazon Influencer Shop (affiliate link). LIKES. ▹I appreciate that the book has a strong moral of the story: that it’s cool to just be yourself. ▹This book presents a clever way of introducing some names of classic dances in a fun rhyming theme. It would be a fun read for a “dance mom” family or perhaps a baby ballerina class. (The creators wrote and produced music and scripts for professional children’s theatre prior to this series.) DISLIKES ▹This is the third book in a series that puts emphasis on something being “just so —- ” and it’s my opinion that this theme just doesn’t carry over well into Bunnypalooza. Instead the phrasing just interrupts the storytelling and isn’t visually appealing bc it’s presented in big obnoxious fonts. You can read more about what I mean by this in my full blog review over on my bio link 📚. Overall, though, this is a fun book for littles who love to dance or just be themselves ✌🏻.
  • So .... you know how we work with brands to do toy reviews? Well, this time we did something a little different. Through a collaboration with Ohio-based toy company @thesimplay3company , we were able to review one of the company’s Sharing Libraries by documenting our experience with donating it to our local community! We received one Sharing Library for free in exchange for our review. And what a blast it’s been! The stand, which is installed outdoors, is made of sturdy plastic (just like Simplay3’s popular chunky backyard toys) which makes the Sharing Library great for all types of weather. The box comes in a pretty red color, which is awesome because it matches well with the kids’ museum firehouse theme. 🚒. It’s a good height for kids and it’s door is easy for little hands to open. The @thesimplay3company Sharing Library retails for 149.99 on the Simplay3 website. You can also find it in my Amazon shop! And the best part is ... you can see it in person! The public is now invited to “Take a Book, Share a Book” at the Paso Robles Children’s Museum’s Little Free Library newly installed at 623 13th St. in downtown Paso Robles, Calif.  The box is registered as an official @littlefreelibrary so it shows up on the organization’s map as charter #84178. It’s one of five boxes in our city. When we talk about parenting goals, as a mom I’m usually focused on things like surviving the wrath of my hungry 5 year old and keeping pants on her 3 year old brother. But, you know, I also want to teach the kids to be kind, to share and to generally be good humans. Enter the Sharing Library. Secretly, I had been hiding it a cardboard box in our garage while I found a recipient. But once the kids saw it installed at the museum, I explained the whole thing and they immediately wanted to take a book and leave one behind. And we hope you do, too! @littlefreelibrary is a nonprofit organization that heads up a global movement designed to connect communities through the love for reading and the spirit of generosity. There are 36,000 sharing boxes around the world in 70 countries, according to LittleFreeLibrary.org.
  • These, my friends, are the happy faces of small children unafraid of rinsing their hair at bathtime. #ad. And that’s all thanks to the @nubyusa Tear-Free Rinse Pail. Clocking in at $10.95, this bath time tool features a “Soft Tear Free Comfort Edge” that, I say, 95% keeps the water from hitting your kids eyes if they’re looking up and you put a little pressure downward. It’s available at @meijerstores! #meijer . Lifesaver!! My kids flip their sh*t when it comes to rinsing hair in the bath usually and I can say from experience that they have not while using this pail. You can find it in our Amazon Influencer Shop via my Linktree. ✌🏻
  • My face when I want chocolate but there’s none in the house. . Also, can we all take a moment to honor Clara’s very wise decision to let me do her hair like that? 😂. It’s a bird! It’s a plane! Oh wait, no, it’s actually a bird 😂😂😂.
  • 👦🏼“Hey Mommy, guess what?!l 👩🏼 “What’s up, bud?” 👦🏼 “Wook! I’ve been putting all my jammies in my (gross poopy) diaper pail!!” 👩🏼 ...
  • Hotels with no kids is so gangsta 😂. . Hubby and I had our second night away this weekend since the kids have been born! We went to Long Beach with old friends (and some new 💕), ate at Saint & Second and then played Mario in our hotel! The kids had fun at grandma’s house and ate candy and pancakes and played played played. And now my brain is mush after trying to entertain them in the car for three hours on the way home. #worthit
