Easy and Light Weight Travel System

“This post was sponsored by @GBChildUsa as part of a Blog Blast Activation for Influence Central.”

I have been searching for a new stroller and car seat combination that will grow with my baby, be easy to use and, of course, safe. I have found one at Babies R Us that I really love called the GB Lyfe Travel System from @GBChildUSA and I had to share. With my last child I had to keep buying car seats as he grew and they would never fit in my stroller. I want to avoid that this time. 

Love this travel system. So lightweight and grows with your baby.

Having THE TALK With Your Kids

(This post contains affiliate links.)

Well, let me tell you I was so not prepared when my girls came to me to ask about how babies were made. Literally I was in the bathroom cleaning and they both came in and I thought “gah”!! I don’t know if I want to tell you this!! But now a days kids are learning about this subject younger and younger and I didn’t want them to hear anything from school or friends first. I want them to hear the truth and understand everything.  I did make some rookie mistakes as you can tell from the pictures that I secretly took while I was telling them! Aren’t they amazing!? HA!

10 Ways To Teach Consideration For Others

(This post contains affiliate links)

It's so important to teach our children to be considerate of others.

I experienced some kind and considerate people today and it was awesome! When I went into a convenience store a young man ran to the door to keep it open for me. My immediate thought as I thanked him was, “his parents taught him well”. Then when leaving the store with my hands full of drinks a sweet teenage girl helped me with the door and another gentleman wanted to help me open my car door. I left feeling a little lighter and it simply made my day. After that experience I thought, “Am I looking outside myself to be considerate of others like these kind people or am I living in my own little world?” I hope my first instincts would be to help or offer a kind word, however, I do think that sometimes we get so busy or in a hurry that we forget the kindnesses of life; the immediate things we can do to make someone’s day a little brighter.

We started a new tradition in our family and it was soooo fun! Since it’s Chinese New Year we thought it would be fun to learn more about China and to use it as an opportunity to give the kids a great experience. Now that we’ve had one family cultural night we want to do more and want to encourage you all to do the same.
