Nontoxic pillow and lounger review and giveaway

Disclaimer: Brentwood Home provided me with the nontoxic pillow and lounger found in the Kids Bundle free in exchange for a fair and honest review. All thoughts and opinions are my own. For us, buying a new mattress or pillows has two HUGE drawbacks. Number one being the cost, and number two being the fact that most mattresses contain toxic glues and adhesives, along with fire retardants and more. Offgassing of these chemicals is a huge concern to me. Our […]

2 year old birthday them. Such a sweet little monster

For those of you who may not be aware of it, we have a 2 year old in the house. This momentous occasion happened last week, and over the weekend we had a party.

Since he needs to eat wheat free, I wasn’t sure what to do […]

May 21, 2015 by Kendra 1 Comment

  Last week I decided to try out for the “Mom of the Year” slash “Best Nanny EVER” awards. I was going to let the babies (11mo & 22mo) finger paint! There was a slight glitch in the program when I recalled how babies put everything in their mouths. “Most Health Conscious” seemed like a good award as well, so I decided to qualify for that one by making edible paint for toddlers. I spent well over an hour making […]

Mom's Lunchtime: I think she's supposed to be eating, but it doesn't seem to be happening... why?

Mom’s lunchtime: Right before that blessed period called naptime, in which all moms look forward to a little peace and quiet; occurs a tragedy called lunchtime. This time of day is most taxing, and all moms who make it through, deserve a medal for bravery. However, the only badge most mom’s get for surviving mom’s lunchtime, is in the form of refused and flying food. Mom’s Lunchtime ~A Tragedy: Cast: A frazzled mom. A colicky baby. A busy toddler.

My mom was mean. Really mean. When I was a kid she made me clean my room! Oh yeah, and if I didn’t do it right the first time, I had to go back and do it again! As I got older, things got worse. Next thing I knew I had to help clean the rest of the house. The bathrooms, the kitchen, the laundry room. I even had to help clean her room sometimes!  I had to dust everything, […]

I have the best time with the little girl I am nanny to.  She just turned two and is a real handful (in a good way), and a joy to take care of. To keep her occupied, I took in some craft supplies, to help her make a Fathers Day craft. I wasn’t sure how it would go, because she is only two and wouldn’t be able to do the crafts I did with preschoolers. However, it went great! She is […]

So, I’ve had a rough week. Actually I should say month. After being there almost four years, I am quitting my current job at a childcare center in favor of better hours and better pay.  I will now be a cleaning lady and babysitter. God has been good, giving me these positions.  In fact I will be quitting work but not losing any income because I have cleaning and babysitting jobs all lined up. Why am I having a rough […]
