Socialmoms have teamed up with the Virginia Beach Convention and Visitors Bureau and are asking bloggers to share their top 10 reasons why they would want to visit Virginia Beach. As someone who has traveled extensively Virginia is actually one of the places I don’t think I’ve ever seen, but after researching it it’s definitely been added to the list of cool places to visit. Here are my top 10 reasons. The Ocean – It’s…
Wow. Time has gone by so quickly. I can’t believe it. I have such mixed emotions. This might be my last baby and he’s trying to grow up just as fast as his brother. The race was on as soon as he was born. I didn’t think Aidan would make it in time to match his brother Vincent who walked at 9 months but he did! Funny thing is I just checked back in my…
Several times now, well, 3 to be exact. My 3 year old has contracted the flu after going to the grocery store with me. Twice after riding in the “car” cart that is available. I won’t name stores but we all know where the car cart is available. That is the store I usually frequent. And I ALWAYS wipe down the carts. UNLESS there are no wipes available, which has happened several times! I think…
It doesn’t matter if you have one child, or ten, we all know that once you become a mom it seems like there’s never enough time. I’ve been struggling myself with trying to get back on track now that I have 2 little ones. There are always things you can do to help make the most of your time and I’m going to share 10 of my tips with you now (while my kids are…
First of all I want to say Thank you to the countless number of responses I got on the Facebook page about the pictures of my son’s rash I posted. I know a few people questioned why I would be sitting on Facebook asking a bunch of strangers what they thought was wrong with my child instead of rushing him to the hospital so I figured I’d take a moment to clear some things up.…
Roughly 8 months ago, when my youngest baby was still just a newborn, I was having a hard time with some relationships in my life and was left to fend for my 2 kids by myself most of the time. I was still recovering from the birth and a little “out of it” so to say. I had a 2 year old to care for an a new baby who didn’t sleep through the night…
Alamo and Socialmoms.com have come together in honor of Alamo’s new Insider program and are asking moms what they believe are 5 summer getaways every kid should experience. Since summer is almost upon us and we’ve been cooped up in our house all winter long we’re anxious to get away and have a little fun as a family, even if only for the weekend. Because we’re somewhat new to this, and we have a new…
The kids and I had a great Easter weekend. Thursday or so while Vincent was napping I gathered up some materials to make a paper plate bunny. I had no idea what I was doing but I came up with something I think was cute. He had been asking me all week long “Easter bunny come on Sunday?” “What day Easter bunny day?”. He especially loved putting the fluffy bunny tail (cotton ball) on the…
Dear Vincent, I’m a little late with this letter. We had a really busy weekend since your birthday fell on Saturday and now you’ve been sick the past day after getting a vaccination at the doctors. (Ironically you were sick on your 2nd bday as well!). You were so cute when they gave it to you. I thought for sure you might cry but you didn’t even realize what had happened, until we got in…
Have I got your attention? Good. That’s what I was hoping for. Although my almost 3 year old son really has only been in a bathtub twice in all his life, he has bathed in a baby bath. Until over 2 years old. How absurd, right? Especially considering he was born at 10lbs and by the time he was 2 1/2 he was half my size in length. He’s a big boy. Vincent at 9…
