Raise your hand if you’re a walking Mombie! We know how exhausting it can be to have a newborn. One of the top questions I get asked after having a baby is, “How do you get your baby to sleep through the night and sleep so well?” With six kids all roughly 18 months apart,…
Raise your hand if you have a love/hate relationship with extracurricular activities for kids! RAISING MY HAND HIGH OVER HERE! I LOVE watching my kids play their favorite sports and gain so much confidence through them. I don’t love running around like a mad woman trying to figure out which way is North or South. Can…
“How much do you spend on Christmas gifts?” That’s a question I’m guessing doesn’t come up during casual lunchtime conversation with people. Why? Well, for one it’s very personal! Maybe you don’t want to sound cheap, or sound like you’re spoiling your kids, you don’t want to feel awkward or be put in an uncomfortable…
My family and I have been enjoying one last hurrah in Nevada, soaking up as much summer sun as possible. Don’t worry, a vlog of the trip is coming someday! I wanted to pop in quickly and share with you my YouTube video this week (I post new videos every Thursday if my carrier pigeon…
Are you sick of hearing me talk about Q&A Tuesday yet? No? Well, good! All summer long I answer questions from social media LIVE on Facebook. Usually I answer a money, budgeting, or frugal living question. But a few weeks ago I did the ol’ classic “ask me anything” live Q&A, and realize I forgot…
With July 4th approaching, I couldn’t push down the nagging urge and inkling that pops up every year…telling me I need to share my story with you all. My horrifying, embarrassing, life-changing story of that time I almost let my child die because I was distracted on Instagram. As with every year there is an…
Well, freebs. It’s that time of year… sickness is everwhere, so it seemed time to share my favorite family-friendly flu remedies with you! We struggled with a bout of the flu last month, and a few of us are recovering from strep right now as we speak! We have stocked up on all the things…
How to keep kids healthy…without losing your sanity. That seems to be my biggest battle lately. A knock down, drag out, who-has-the-sanity-for-this kind of battle at that. In the last few weeks we’ve had allergies, runny noses, ear infections, busted fingers, ear infections, you name it! (Can you tell school has started??) My kids are not willing “healthy”…
You may or may not know that Bubba and I are both entrepreneurs and have 6 businesses between the two of us…and 4 of them are mine! We often get asked how to start a business, and also often get asked how to teach kids to work hard and earn their own money. Today I’m…
I often get asked how I get my kids to nap! (Yes, all 5 of my kids nap at the same time almost every day. It’s fine, call me the Nap Nazi, I don’t mind.) I’ll be honest, it took some practice. My oldest was a TERRIBLE sleeper, thanks to me and my incredible ability to…
If you follow me on Instagram, you have probably seen that I am a blog partner with the First Lady of Utah, Jeanette Herbert, and her Uplift Families initiative (read all about it HERE)! Last year, we attended their parenting conference, and it was amazing. I laughed until I cried, was inspired, ate fabulous food and amazing…
