The Boss Baby Family Business On Digital Today & Blu-ray and DVD 9/14

If you had a second chance at childhood, what would you do?  In the sequel to DreamWorks Animation’s Oscar nominated blockbuster comedy, the Templeton brothers Tim (James Marsden) and his Boss Baby little bro Ted (Alec Baldwin) have become adults and drifted away from each other. Tim is now a married stay-at-home dad. Ted is a hedge fund CEO. But a new boss baby with a cutting-edge approach and a can-do attitude is about to bring them together again … and inspire a new family business.  We loved this movie.  We loved the original Boss Baby and this one was full of more laughs, funny moments, and the realization that family is what is most important.

Gabby's Dollhouse entered our house on January 5th and has never left. My kids have been re-watching season 1 on Netflix since it premiered. It is cat-tastic! Kennedy is obsessed with cats and you can hear her squealing with delight while watching each episode. I love that it includes cats, games, mysteries, projects, surprises, songs, and fun!

Now Gabby's Dollhouse is BACK with season 2 and it is streaming now!  Check out all 8 new episodes on Netflix.  We watched the entire season 2 in one day!

Carter's Pokemon Birthday With Party City

I can't believe Carter turned 10 today and started fourth grade this week! Time is a thief. He is so very smart and is the sweetest boy.

He is the best dancer and loves to sing and we were so excited to celebrate him all day long. Happy Birthday Carter. We love you more than you will ever know.

Back To School Ideas & Books To Get You Ready For The New School Year

We started school this week.  The kids have been home since March 2019 (and I have loved it) and we have been doing distance learning.  Our kids' school is not offering distance learning this year, so they are back on campus.  I wanted to make sure they were excited to return, looking forward to learning, seeing friends, and ready for the new year.  Here are some fun back to school ideas!

Crunch Pak The Perfect Snack For Back To School

It is more important now than ever to make sure kids feel loved, safe, and important. I want to make sure my children do not feel stressed with the new school year and they are able to concentrate in class, get their schoolwork done and enjoy a healthy diet. Parents are preparing breakfasts, lunches, dinners and snacks every single day for their children and preparing these meals can become a stressful task for any busy parent. It can be especially difficult doing your best to add a variety of different flavors while incorporating healthy snacks you feel good about and the kids will eat! I would like to share how I prepare fun meals and snacks with Crunch Pak for my children that make them smile and how I include sweet notes and jokes to make their day a little more special.

Whether it’s a simple act of kindness or a grand gesture of generosity, we all know someone who has made a positive difference in our lives.

Back To School Snacks Kids Will Love

This post is sponsored by NABISCO, but all opinions are my own.

I can't believe the kids are headed back to school already.  With the kids home all summer they are constantly snacking, swimming, snacking, playing, snacking... you get the point.  I want to make sure that before school starts our pantry is full of a variety of snacks that the kids can grab, take to school and easily open and eat on their own.  Do you need snack donations for your classroom or educational program? Needing something a little extra to add to the littles' lunches?  I've got you covered.  Let me share with you why proportioned multipack snacks from Walmart are my favorite.
