IKEA Giveaway
We currently have an IKEA $150 Giveaway going on! I absolutely love shopping (and wandering around) Ikea! I’ve spent hours just aimlessly looking around each area. They have everything and lunch or dinner to boot! Plus, depending on the age of your child(ren) they can play while you look/shop. Pick them up and have a bite to eat and basically you’ve had a fun-filled outing. Now’s your chance to do that with a gift card (guilt-free splurge anyone) — good luck and don’t forget to enter daily! Prize: $150 Ikea Giftcard Sponsored by: Diethood, dandelion moms, All Roads Lead to the Kitchen, Condo Blues, My Daylights, The Mommy Nest,…

Last Minute Father’s Day Gift Ideas
Father’s Day will be here Sunday. Are you still procrastinating over what to get your spouse, dad, or others in family? From yourself to the kids we’ve found some great gift ideas that will make it just in time. Phew! There’s Nothing On! Do you still hear that? Is that an obsolete phrase now?

Even with the littlest ones, it’s not always easy to explain why you can’t get them that cute puppy and why they need to be nice to their sister.

Netflix is host to a variety of family-friendly shows that explore a range of real-life issues with equal measures of humor, angst and heart. No matter your situation, chances are there’s…

A New Way to Chat and Snap Via Picpal
Ever wanted an app that allowed you to message, take pictures (not just selfies), and allowed you to talk with your friends or family (privately) – all together? Well, picpal is that app! What’s more it doesn’t matter if you have an iDevice or an Android (sorry, Windows app store is not currently available); and that means a lot as not all families and friends are in the same camp when it comes to their phones or tablets. You’re able to sign up with picpal through Facebook or now via email – after their recent update and as many (lots and lots) didn’t like that it was Facebook dependent. Smart move in my…

The Southern California Great Wolf Lodge Exceeds All Expectations!
Our family had a chance to check out the recently opened Great Wolf Lodge Garden Grove last month and boy did it exceed our expectations!

From the water slides, water park for little ones, to a 24 hour arcade and mini bowling alley – there really is something for everyone.

Restaurant: I am not usually a fan of buffet-style restaurants because I don’t find the food to be very good but this…
