Perkley Agents- More Than A Video Game

Over the summer my son had the chance to play the online spy game, Perkley Agents. It was fun and entertaining, and great for a 9 year-old. Perkley Agents is a secret agent organization that solves mysteries and fights crime. Once signed up, you become an agent. Agents gather clues, solve mysteries, and save the world, one operation at a time. As a Perkley Agent, you will be assigned missions and report your progress to Headquarters through your Back Office. You must be smart and determined. But don’t worry, they will give you the classified training and resources you need. You can also… Read More

Tips & Tricks For Staying Organized This School Year

Let’s face it, we all like to make sure our kids’ first day or first few days are perfect. By perfect I mean lunches made, homework done, no one yelling, “I need my folder!” as you close the door, and no one eating a pop tart for breakfast. We like to start our kids off on a good note, but why not keep it there? Why not maintain the level of organization, planning, and readiness all year just as well as you do the first week. I have a few simple, relatively easy things you can do to make you… Read More

The Cookie Momster Kitchen ~ Review & Giveaway!

My daughter turned 11 this weekend and we threw her an Ice Cream Parlor themed party. Her and her friends were so spoiled to indulge in theses oh-so-cute and delicious cookies. How adorable are these? And they went perfectly with our theme! These cookies were custom made-to-order by Alex, owner of The Cookie Momster Kitchen in Manassas, VA. I contacted Alex in regards to my daughter’s party. She was quick to respond, asked about details, made these adorable ice cream cone cookies, and even individually wrapped them! It was a very easy, stress-free process. Did I mention these made my daughter’s… Read More

Colgate® Optic White® Toothpaste

Colgate® has always been the Toothpaste of choice for our family. We trust the brand and their products. When I received the new Colgate® Optic White® Toothpaste in the mail, I was excited to try it out and see how the results would work for me. Let me tell you, after using it for almost a week, results are clear to see! In fact I noticed brighter teeth in 3 days! The toothpaste itself smelled and tasted great. My teeth felt fresh and looked pearly white in no time. It really is dazzle without the hassle! It’s so nice to get a… Read More

Peapod by Giant ~ Review & Giveaway!

Recently, I had the opportunity to shop via Peapod in my yoga pants, from my couch. Need I say more? 🙂  Peapod is an online grocery shopping system for Giant. You do all of your shopping online and Peapod will deliver it to your door, or you can pick it up. I don’t know about you, but anything that saves me from taking all three of my children and my ginormous shopping list to the store is a beautiful thing! This is a great service for the busy family trying to spend less time running errands, and more time together.

Prince William County Fair

My family and I had a great time at this year’s Prince William County Fair! It is hard not to enjoy a beautiful summer night, filled with the laughter of those around you. My family and I loved indulging in some fried oreos and watching our kids laugh and squeal in delight as they rode traditional fair rides. There was something for all of us to do and take part in. The magic show and animals were also a huge hit with my family! Fun rides, tasty treats, amusing shows, great local vendors, what’s not to love?! If you get… Read More

SweetLeaf Water Drops

Do you ever find it hard to consume your 8 glasses of water a day? I know I sure do! I love to drink tea, soda, and coffee, but when it comes to water, I am always looking for ways to jazz it up. I love adding a lemon or a lime or using fruit infused water bottles, but that can get tiring and you can’t always have those items with you on the go. Thanks to SweetLeaf® and Moms Meet, I found a simple, easy way to give my water more flavor! SweetLeaf® Water Drops™ are natural, convenient, sugar-free and gluten-free water enhancers. You… Read More

We spent the day at @carrigan_farms in North Carolina, picking beautiful flowers, cooling off with a swim in the quarry, enjoying fresh seasonal fruit, and making sweet family memories. 💦🍉 😎

From sunshine to splashes, every moment felt like summer at its best. If you’re looking for a unique family trip, this one belongs on your bucket list! 

Summer at Carrigan Farms is a ton of fun for the whole family! 🤗

🩱 Arrive in your swimsuit or wear it under your clothes to save time.
🍑 Don’t leave without trying the fresh seasonal produce and picking flowers if they’re in season!

There’s something incredibly special about growing There’s something incredibly special about growing up with Toy Story and then getting to watch your own children fall in love with these characters too. 🩵☁️✨

Toy Story 5 Toy captures everything we love about the franchise while bringing a fresh story for a new generation. Seeing more of Jessie’s story was so special! ❤️🤠🐴

What I loved most was the reminder that childhood is found in the simple moments of play. Watching kids rediscover imagination, adventure, and connection in a world full of screens felt especially meaningful.

This movie celebrates friendship, adventure, and the magic that happens when kids PLAY! ✨❤️

Thanks to Disney & Pixar for inviting us to a special screening last night! 🍿🎥 Go see @toystory 5 in theaters June 19th! #ToyStory #ToyStory5 #Pixar #DisneyMagic #disneyfamily
I Knew It, I Knew You 🫶🩵 Seeing our favorite toys I Knew It, I Knew You 🫶🩵

Seeing our favorite toys back on the big screen this summer feels like a big warm hug! 🥰 They have been with us through it all….

These characters, little giggles, little smiles… bring back the best memories! 

Because some stories don’t end… they just grow up with us. 💫💙 To infinity and beyond. 💙💫

The @breadwinnermovie starring @natebargatze and @ The @breadwinnermovie starring @natebargatze and @mandymooremm is a relatable and hilarious family comedy parents will definitely connect with. 🎬❤️

📺 Check out my interview with Nate & Mandy as we chat all about the film, family life, and balancing it all behind the scenes! 👏

The humor is family-friendly and the film has a very nostalgic feel of classic family comedies while still feeling current and relatable for today’s parents! See it in theaters this weekend! @sonypictures

POV: the perfect girls day does exist ✨🕯️💎 Spent POV: the perfect girls day does exist ✨🕯️💎

Spent the day at @districtcandlelab creating our own custom candle and building the cutest charm bracelet at the charm bar with @wearfawne and honestly, it was such a fun experience from start to finish. From choosing scents to picking charms that matched our vibe, every detail felt creative, cozy, and so intentional. 😍✨

If you’re looking for a unique date idea, girls outing, or just a little self-care moment, this is your sign! 💖 My daughter and I had a lovely afternoon together! 🥰

✨ Pro tip: Make a reservation for the candle bar because it fills up fast, especially on weekends!
✨ The charm jewelry bar is walk-in only.
✨ They also offer private event bookings for groups of 10+ which would be SO fun for birthdays, bridal events, or team outings. 

10/10 experience for making memories and leaving with something custom you actually love!! 💕
