When you first have your baby, it’s incredible to think you are going to bring home a brand new human being without any guidelines or help, or someone checking to make sure you know what the heck you are doing. It’s overwhelming, yet it’s the same things millions of other parents have done throughout history, […]
This post brought to you by Groupon. The content and opinions expressed below are that of Penelope’s Oasis. What do you get for the woman who loved you since the moment you were born? How about exactly what she wants? Groupon probably has it, so you can make mom really happy this year. From spas […]
I have not been checking Groupon out lately, but really need to. Would have never thought to look there for Mother’s Day gifts.
I certainly wouldn’t mind getting an Apple Watch for Mother’s Day! I need to head over to Groupon to see what my mom would like.
i love groupon!!! i find such great deals on it.
Unfortunately what my mom usually wants is way out of my price range. But Groupon sounds like a great option to get her something.
That sounds fantastic. Who wouldn’t want to win a year of spa days? I’ve only done 1-2 and I loved it!
Groupon has so many fantastic deals. I will definitely use them for my next trip.
One of my most favorite Christmas presents was from Groupon. My second oldest son bought me a family photo package using one of their deals. 🙂
You know what else Mom loves? When you can spoil her for Mother’s Day without breaking the bank!! Yay Groupon!
Groupon is an amazing resource for gifts! I get a lot of gifts for people on Groupon.
I’ve been noticing fine lines around my eyes and mouth, and while I plan to age gracefully, that doesn’t mean I don’t plan to care for my skin along the way to keep it as youthful looking as possible, for as long as possible. I still want to look good! I recently tried Cellumis, a […]
Just yesterday my mom shared her current skin woes that all stem from aging and it really scared me. I am searching for a reliable skin care line to stop those problems before they start and these seem to be just what I need!
This sounds like a really interesting product! I think I will let my mother-in-law know about this because she likes trying out new serums.
I need to check this out! Just noticed some nice lines near my eyes. Not even 30 until July but I sure have aged. I am willing to try anything!
That does sound great. Age defying products are so helpful.
That sounds really neat. I would like to try that because I’ve been noticing lines but nothing so far has seemed to work. My neck is particularly flabby and getting wrinkly 🙁
Wow, this looks like a premium line! I’d be so curious of the long term effects, sounds too good to be true
I am all for clearer and firmer skin. I am started to notice fine lines
I have older sisters, so I am watching them closely so I know which signs of aging I will most likely get and in which order. The eye creases seem to come first for us as well. i need to pick up some of the Cellumis eye cream in hopes of keeping some lines at bay, while diminishing the ones I already have.
We are always on the go, but I never stop ensuring my family eats healthy just because I don’t have time to make every meal and snack from scratch. I want to provide them with healthy snack options without spending too much time or effort, so over time I developed some mom hacks for healthier […]
You made it so easy to make healthy snacks. Taking tips on this 😉
xo,
Seng
My kids love homemade trail mix too. I like to make it so that way I know exactly everything that we put in is healthy!
I hide vegetables in my son’s food because he won’t eat any veggies except potatoes. 🙂 I do try to make up healthy snacks so I can easily grab something to take with us since we seem to always be on the go.
I have an addiction to trail mix and really like the idea of creating my own perfect combination. Dried fruit, almonds and some dark chocolate chips would all be a must!
That trail mix sounds super tasty! I love pretzels! I would probably hide some little dried fruit in their cereal too.
I love making my own snack packs and trail mixes. Then I know exactly what is in them.
The trail mix looks wonderful! What a wonderful healthy snack, I think my kids would love this! They don’t eat cereal so that wouldn’t work, but maybe hiding “treasure” in other foods?
That is such a simple mix, but looks delicious. Definitely a good snack to keep on hand.
I like the idea of adding things to the cereal. Smoothies are another way to sneak in the healthy if the kids are not in a mood to eat/drink healthy on their own (without a battle).
This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Sleep Number. All opinions are 100% mine. What is it about a good night sleep that seems so elusive? Most Americans, according to a recent Sleep Number® survey, get an average of 6.7 hours of sleep – well below the recommended 8 hours — […]
I really need to do this. I have been decidedly UNcommitted to sleep for a long time. =(
I’d love a sleep number bed. My husband and I should be the spokescouple for them. We never agree on mattresses!
I want a sleep number bed and a separate room from my husband LOL. It’s our dream when we retire.
I really really want a Sleep Number bed. We had one in our room on our honeymoon and I’ve wanted one since!
I tested out a sleep number a while ago. It was so nice. I’d definitely get better sleep.
I know I feel better and get more accomplished when I have a good night’s sleep. I also know that most of the time, I don’t get enough sleep. It is hard even after you have retired to get in that bed at a decent hour.
Ah a better nights sleep! Yes please. I would love a sleep number. I have been struggling lately with sleep.
I love the sleep better ideas. I need a new bed and or a new routine
With a newborn and toddler in the house, my sleep patterns are just awful, but I am definitely going to make my best effort at this! Uninterrupted sleep sounds like a dream come true.
Have you tried easing into it, Stacie? Pick one small thing you know you can do to commit to sleep and start there. You might be surprised where you find yourself a month from now. 🙂
Sounds like it could be a great fit for you, Melissa! Make sure to check out our Commit To Sleep Sweepstakes like Penelope said. Participants have a chance to win an individualized sleep experience, which includes one of our beds!

Have you tried a nap during the day, Sabrina? That could help get you through when you don’t have a chance to get a solid night’s sleep. Limiting naps to 25-30 minutes or 60-90 minutes should help keep you from waking up groggy, too!
I remember being so nervous the first time I gave my first son a bath. It all worked out, though 🙂
I have always been so careful about what I put on my baby’s skin. I have never tried Mustela but it sounds like a wonderful product. I will be sure to check it out for anyone with little ones I am buying for.
These are great tips! Bath time was always so much fun for my kids.
I am sad that I won’t have another baby to bathe until my kids have kids. These are great tips. My mom was always there to help me out. Cute baby care package.
