How to End Fights Over Car Seats

This post is how to end fights over car seats, an issue that seems to be a common one amongst moms with more than one child eligible to ride in the same type of car seat and carpooling moms everywhere. May this idea work for you like it worked for me because dealing with car seat squabbles can be a nightmare.

Your Pre-Holiday Workout Plan

how to avoid holiday weight gain

Holiday weight gain. We all know what it feels like – not good. The feasting seems to start at Thanksgiving and then continues right through New Year’s Day leaving you greeting the new year feeling BLECH. But it doesn’t have to be this way!

Go Under the Sea with Kids Club!

mall Kids Club

National Geographic Kids Club is sponsoring FREE monthly educational events this fall at the Los Cerritos Center, one of their Mall Kids Club events held at select malls nationwide. I took my girls to the September event and we all had so much fun!

The Kids Club events are held held from 11am – 12pm in front of Forever 21 at the Los Cerritos Center. If you are new to that mall, there is an outside entrance to Forever 21 and then it’s an easy walk through the store to the event location outside the Forever 21 entrance in the main mall.

No reservations are required. Just show up ready to have a good time, then grab lunch with the family afterwards at any one of Los Cerritos Center’s dining spots. At the September event we were even given coupons to CPK!

The people at National Geographic have done a phenomenal job putting together these events. Every person working the event went out of their way to make sure the kids were enjoying it to the fullest. Here are some of my pics from the Under the Sea September event…

It seems like the past few years I have picked up every cold and virus my kids have come home with, so this year, I am fighting back because there is no time to be sick when you are a mom. (However, if you do get sick, please remember this post about the importance of taking a mommy sick day!!)

Back to this cold remedy. So there we were, two weeks into school when both my girls got that stuffy nose, cough thing that seems to always show up around this time. Then a few days later I felt the scratchy throat come on along with feeling lethargic and pretty crappy all around. NOOOOOO! 

I sent my gymnastics mommy friend an SOS text to give me her remedy, which is as follows:
