Navigating devices and technology with our kids is Navigating devices and technology with our kids is definitely a journey. #BarkAd We got our tween a Bark Phone for the summer so he can have a little more freedom  but still stay safely connected with us. @barktechnologies parent control app allows us to monitor content, manage screen time, and block certain apps and websites. For us, that means no social media but still giving him access to games and the ability to check the scores of his favorite teams. And you can adjust restrictions as your child gets older. As parents, we get alerts for potential risks, including bullying and depression. Plus there’s location tracking through GPS so we know where he is at all times. 

If you’re exploring phones for your tween or teen, definitely check out the Bark Phone. It’s digital freedom with a safety net.

Don’t tell my husband, but he was right. Adding Don’t tell my husband, but he was right. Adding a fourth child to our family definitely took us from slightly overwhelmed to maxed out in terms of managing our home and schedule. And no matter how many times we’ve talked to the bigs about helping out and picking up after themselves, we still get the “but I don’t know what to do!” excuses. We’re kicking off our summer break with the help of @skylightcalendar to help us manage the chaos. 

Summer camps, three baseball schedules, well checks for baby sis, play dates, and everything in between. Skylight is more than just a shared calendar - the kids can see all their daily routines and check them off as they’re completed, plus do extra chores around the house to earn rewards. I’m all for promoting independence and repeating myself. And that I can manage it all from my phone. 

Who else is ready to let the Skylight Calendar get our lives organized in a way that actually works for our families?

Since we have officially added our last sweet baby, it’s finally time. I adore these pieces from @jewlr. The added bonus is that all of their birthstones go together beautifully and I even had each kids’ first initial engraved on the back of their birthstone. And since I was feeling extra sentimental, I added my husband’s birthstone to this puffy heart necklace.

Each custom piece from Jewlr is crafted by local artisans in Canada and the U.S.

May is National Water Safety Month and I couldn’ May is National Water Safety Month and I couldn’t let it pass by without talking about our friends at @goldfishswimschool. 

According to the CDC, more children ages 1 to 4 die from drowning than any other cause of death, it’s the second leading cause of unintentional injury death for children ages 5 through 14, AND the CDC has reported that drowning rates are on the rise for the first time in decades, with more than 4500 people drowning each year. 

Swim lessons save lives. Period. 

We’re taking the Safer Swimmer Pledge with Goldfish to raise awareness around water safety and drowning prevention and I hope you’ll join us!

Pick up a pledge at your local Goldfish Swim School and/or visit the website to take the Safer Swimmer Pledge online. As a bonus, if you take the pledge digitally, you’ll be entered for a chance to win a variety of prizes, including:

- Up to 1 year of free swim lessons
- A 2-night Family Suite stay at your preferred Great Wolf Lodge Resort
- Safer Swimmer Swag Bags, which include Goldfish Swag and a 3 Month Subscription to GrowthMinded 

For every pledge taken, Goldfish Swim School Franchising will donate $1 to Every Child a Swimmer, the philanthropic arm of the International Swimming Hall of Fame.

#ad What do you get the guy who has everything for #ad What do you get the guy who has everything for Father’s Day? Upgrade his tech! My husband doesn’t usually have a list of wants, making gift buying a little challenging. We decided to upgrade his tech for Father’s Day this year since it’s been quite a while since he’s done that and I think we discovered the perfect dad gift theme. Think upgrading chargers, Bluetooth speakers, earbuds, etc. I even picked up a solar charger for his backpacking trip this summer. A great way to round out any Father’s Day gift is with a gift card from @walgreens. This @googleplay gift card can be used for mobile gaming, streaming movies, books, music and more - the perfect compliment to a techy gift!

A little sweet, a little salty, and enough caffeine to get me through my morning. Their biscuits might be the best I’ve had in all of Columbus and their breakfast burrito was also delish. I’m convinced you can’t go wrong with anything on their menu. Their New Albany location is at @lifestylecommunities and connected to @lcgoat.

Just like with car seats, strollers and other big Just like with car seats, strollers and other big decision baby items, I typically put a lot of thought into choosing the right one for our family before buying. #sponsored I weigh the pros and cons, do research and read reviews to determine which one to get. Choosing the right formula for my babies is just as important. All of my kids have had formula in some capacity or another: to help clear up jaundice in the hospital, when we adopted, to nourish a baby while we worked through breastfeeding issues, and this time, to combo feed because of low milk supply. Out of all the times we’ve chosen a formula to use, this time has been the easiest choice we’ve made.

@byheart’s patented protein blends gets closest to breastmilk. It’s made with organic, grass-fed whole milk - never skim, and certified-clean* ingredients. It’s clinically proven** for softer poops, less spit-up and easy digestion. I actually think my baby spits up less with this formula than she does with my breastmilk.

ByHeart also has a Feeding Plan Commitment - when you sign up for a subscription plan (they have several options based on how many bottles of formula you’re using a day), they commit to setting aside enough formula through your baby’s first birthday. Peace of mind in the product AND peace of mind in having it accessible as long as we need. 

Visit the ByHeart website to learn more! 

*Based on Clean Label Project, Purity Award  certification

Who else is trying to hold it together trying to w Who else is trying to hold it together trying to wrap up Maycember? I couldn’t do it all without @cleandayhousekeeping. They were at our house this week doing a thorough spring cleaning (and restoring some of my sanity) so that I can focus on all the end of year school activities and summer planning. Seriously, there is nothing better than looking at a sparkling clean kitchen and refrigerator with no fingerprints (other than maybe crawling into a bed with fresh sheets).

Moving on up | Goldfish Swim School

On the way to swim lessons at Goldfish Swim School the other day, Liam was telling me how much he hoped to be able to move up to the next level. This is something he's been working hard for, but I wasn't sure how close he was. Turns out - he was right! Liam was beaming from ear to ear when he handed ...

goldfish swim school

My child isn't ready for swim lessons. He barely sits still for me - there's no way he'll sit through a swim class and listen to someone else. Actually, I find it hard to believe that he'll even stay in the pool for the whole 30 minutes. Someone is going to end up having to chase him around the pool ...

You've heard me talk about the importance of water safety lots of times here on the blog and on my social media. As a mom, large bodies of water really scare me. Pools, ponds...even the bathtub. I have kids who are fearless and incredibly independent. While taking a fall and possibly breaking an arm ...
