Summertime is a time of playing outdoors in the hot sun, and my kids are experts at this. Keeping them hydrated while they run around and have fun is important, so I try to always keep water on hand- we don’t keep any soda around. Sometimes my children want something with a bit more flavor […]
To my little munchkin, It’s mid-summer, and so far it’s the best summer of my life. I have two little boys I’m so proud of, and I spend my days watching you both run around our yard, playing with each other and laughing and having a ball. One of the funniest moments this month, though, […]
Aww what a cutie! I can’t wait until my dude has his sibling to play with.
Love the last photo! 🙂 We tried all the sports but football (I refuse to let him play football, but he doesn’t have the build for it, anyway) but Cody just didn’t care for any sports, really. His thing has been acting. Your son will find his “thing” soon, I’m sure.
I love that you called this one of your best summers! I’ve got great news for you….it just keeps getting better! My kids are now 15 (my boy) and 11 (my girl) and we had an amazing summer. My son drove me everywhere with his permit, so we had great quality time together and my girl is all about starting middle school. Keep enjoying your kiddos because you won’t believe how fast they get to 15 and 11!
Oh my gosh! He is getting so big!
Your little soccer player is just the cutest! It will be interesting to see if he sticks with it. 🙂
Love these pics!
He is getting so big! What a little cutie pie.
What a handsome guy! Zoe wanted to play soccer last year when we signed Gav up. Yeah she cried and quit the first day of practice. Love those photos how precious.
Aw, he is getting so big! Love the last photos.
Such a little handsome fella! My son really doesn’t get into too sports either, but he loves soccer and baseball. 🙂
Sounds like he has no fear, both of my boys play soccer but it is my oldest that has played every year since he was 5
LOL — he looks so proud of himself in that last pic! Totally sounds like something my youngest would do!
He is SO stinking cute!
Sounds like you are having the best summer with your boys!
He looks excited about playing ball!
He is so adorable! I remember when my eldest daughter started soccer. She was the same way, but as soon as she saw her younger sister going for the ball, she suddenly got interested.
I bet next year will be even better 😀
I love his expression in that last shot! That’s great they play so well together too!
This is just so sweet and you have quite the cute little athlete.
Awwww how cute is your little guy.
so adorable and such a cutie
So cute that your little tiger charged in to play! Ha!
I can’t believe how big your little one is getting. His expressions are great!
My daughter was much like your older son. Instead of playing soccer with the rest of the children, she cried standing on the field. We still haven’t found a sport she loves but she does enjoy playing the piano.
You will have to sign your little munchkin up for soccer. I love you pictures.
He is going to love reading these letters when he is older. So sweet.
Such a sweet post and adorable pictures.
I love it! Littler Man looks like he’s having a blast and I’m sure Little Man will figure out what he’s passionate about eventually 🙂
Gotta love when you sign kids up for sports and they have no desire to participate. My 5 year old was like that with t-ball this year!
So precious – I’m sure they will remember – if not you take such beautiful photographs that will be their memories in time. Just adore!~
It seems children get sick way too often, and between going to school, taking lessons with other children, play dates and parties, and even general exposure to the outdoors (door knobs, shopping cart handles, etc), it is not hard to see why. That doesn’t make seeing my son sniffle and sneeze any easier, so I […]
I need to pick up vitamins for my kids they are really active
Your healthy tips rock! My kids have been taking L’il Critters for years now and I have never heard a single complaint.
We definitely need to be more vigilant about the vitamins. I hate when one gets sick and it just spreads around the house.
Those are great tips! I need to try those vitamins with my son, we haven’t tried that kind.
My kids love Lil’ Critters!! Gav is a very picky child when it comes to eating so having vitamins is a necessity!
We need new vitamins, I will look for those!
My daughter has been asking for gummi vitamins.
I know my kids don’t get all they need form foods, so we always do vitamins.
My son loves these vitamins. I wish these type of vitamins around when I was kid, because Flintstone vitamins were so nasty tasting, lol.
Great tips! Hand washing is so important in keeping little ones healthy. And big ones too!
Last year was our first yar with two kids in school and we just seemed to bring home EVERYTHING cruddy despite all the best preventative efforts. I’m hoping a new (mandatory) earlier bed time, in addition to their vitamins, will help us keep the germs at bay!
Great tips! I really need to pick up a few of these on my next trip to the store, my kids LOVE them!
Great tips! Knocking on wood here — my kids have been pretty healthy this year.
We try to give our kids fruits and veggies, I really need to get them taking vitamins!
I know my son does not eat enough veggies, I need to get these for him.
We love L’il critters!
I really like that vitamins are offered in a gummy form for kids. It seems like it makes them more appealing to take. And yes, a good multivitamin does great things for the immune system!
Citrus is a great source of vitamin C. We always keep some handy at home.
Sweet T loves her L’il Critters Gummies. We have to ration them out!
Today I had to go to the bank, the market, the pharmacy, the gas station, and grandma’s house. My sons come with me everywhere, and most days are filled with long car rides as we travel from errand to visit and back to our house. Along the way we get hungry, so I need to […]
These sound good and love that they are portable! Thanks for sharing the offer.
I’ll have to try these on our next road trip.
I love your idea about popping them in the freezer. It’s nice to have a easy healthy drink for your kiddos too.
Love that these are perfect for on the go. Your little guy looks like he is really enjoying his snack.
It looks like little guy wants some more.
Those look awesome! My son would love them, which is good because we eat on the go a lot too.
My boys love these, and they really are the perfect snack when on the go.
I’ll have to try these with my girls.
These are great when you’re on the go.
YUM I love those Fusion drinks. They are so tasty!
I just purchased some more of these at the store because my son said he liked them, they were like his “fruity kids” yogurt.
Love that it is better for him.
Love that they HFCS free!!!
I’ve tried these before and they are so good. They’re perfect for grabbing and going.
I’ll have try these in my daughters lunch box
I’ve never heard of this brand, but it sounds great. 🙂
I picked up a pack of these recently and my kids loved them. I had no idea about the rebate – how cool!
These would be great for my daughter. She is not a breakfast eater, but she needs to have something before school.
These are perfect for packing for daycare, school, and to top it off they are healthy!
I am always looking for fun items to add to my daughter’s lunchbox– I think she would enjoy these, especially if I freeze and let thaw in her box, as you described. Thanks for the rebate offer!
I make a lot of smoothies from scratch, but sometimes I just don’t have the time or the ingredients on hand. These sound like they would be great for those times.
This post brought to you by GoodNites. All opinions are 100% mine. Our lives became a lot easier when little man was fully potty trained. He was able to go to nursery school (which he loved), we could leave the house without having to tote extra diapers for him, and frankly, it saved us a […]
Love the Spiderman print! Glad you’ve found an overnight solution for your little man.
We never tried GoodNites. We will have to for our next one.
I’m really glad it helps both him feel better and you feel more secure knowing accidents aren’t as difficult to clean up. 🙂
These are a great option for those accidents that sometimes happen in the middle of the night.
I love that they’ve partnered with Marvel and have a spider man print now. So glad they are working for you!
I’m going to pick these up when we run thru our current brand. Adam (6) had the occasional accident at night but my 3 year old just day time potty trained so he is in a pull up overnight but they seem more diaper-ish and I’m not a fan.
It’s great that these can help with occasional accidents, especially since they are similar to underwear and don’t make your son feel like a baby!
It’s always a process when it comes to nighttime training. Cutting out water before bed was also something that helped us.
I love that it makes him more confident and happy knowing he doesn’t have to worry if he has an accident.
I know these sure help so many parents when it comes to the potty training stage.
It’s nice to have a backup solution during those tougher times. I know we’ll be using these too.
These have been great for my daughter & I must say the Spidey GoodNites look even more like real underwear than the girls do. No wonder he is excited to wear them.
Zoe wets the bed often due to her urinary reflux. She continues to say GoodNites are her favorite and most comfortable!
We used these for my oldest when she was night training.
Awww sweet boy, it’s so hard when our babies are hard on themselves. They’re too young to be doing that! So glad these are helping him.
These are so cute!! We use Goodnights for girls and love the Fairies prints.
I don’t believe I ever tried GoodNites, but it sounds great!
I am glad he doesn’t feel bad about it anymore – definitely a great confidence booster!
My 3yo has an occasional accident during the night, so I always make sure to use GoodNites on nights when she falls asleep without using the bathroom first.
I agree there is nothing more valueable than sleep when you have a baby and having to do a midnight cleaning of kids and bedding messes that up for sure.
Those are such cute little designs! And it’s great they make a nighttime version to help little ones out when they’re learning.
I’m still debating if I should start potty training M earlier. I’m going to see if they have itty bitty sizes for her since she’s a peanut 🙂
Oh my gosh, she is young! You can try, but just remember not to push it too hard so you don’t both end up miserable- she is such a cute little peanut, love her! 🙂
Coconut has a lot of health benefits! Great source of Vitamin C, glad they made something like this.. Healthy and ready to go drinks! 🙂
I love the flavors and the packaging very “paradise” like.
Yum! I love Vita Coco pineapple coconut water. Bring it with me to boot camp every Monday!
I’ve never tried coconut water but I’d like to!
I love that these have low sugar content but have no artificial sweeteners
We’ll have to try this!
i’d love to try. how is it different than the adult version?
I don’t think we’ve ever tried coconut water around here, I wonder if my daughter would like it?
It’s definitely important to stay hydrated and this summer has been soooo hot!
I think I’d like the Paradise Punch flavor.
I tried this brand before – love it!
We drink a lot of water during the summer. I rarely keep special drinks (like soda, sweet tea, etc) during the summer because I know that’s the first thing my kids will reach for, so it’s water unless we are having a special occasion.
I had not heard of these before. I need to check them out.
Yum! Looks like a great way to keep the kid drinking this summer!
I bet both of my kids would love this! I’ll have to try it.
I cannot wait to put these in my sons lunch for school!
I’ve only had coconut water once but it was so good.
These look tasty!
He just has the cutest devilish smirk while slurping that down 🙂
These look very refreshing!
Paradise Punch sounds yummy!
My husband loves coconut water, but I am not a fan. I had no idea there was a kids version and I would love to know what my children think!
I haven’t seen these individual ones! I love giving this to my son and he is a big fan too – we also use VitaCoco for smoothie bases! I bet he’d love apple Island!
I think M would be able to have this if we pass coconut! I’d really love to have an option for her beside water and homemade juice since that is actually hard to travel with.
My daughter’s loved all of the Vita Coco flavors! They’re such a great alternative to juice!
