Parenting Hack: The Secret to Getting Your Kids to Love Brushing Their Teeth

September 11 by Steph (MPMK Founder)

*This post is sponsored by Colgate, all opinions are 100% our own. Isn’t bedtime the craziest part of a day as a parent? I think one of the things that makes it such a challenge is that there are so many parts of bedtime, from baths to pjs, teeth brushing to tucking in your child (possibly 7 times).

Baths don’t have to be every single night and you could read to your children over breakfast … [Read more...]

Back-to-School with Abercrombie Kids

August 20 by Steph (MPMK Founder)

*This post is sponsored by Abercrombie Kids and contains affiliate links, all opinions are 100% my own. One of my favorite parts of back-to-school as a kid was getting brand new school clothes! Let me tell ya, not much has changed now that I'm an adult. I still get pretty psyched about picking up new jeans and cute tops for each of my kiddos. So, I was super excited when Abercrombie Kids became our newest sponsor. As part of our collaboration, I went online a few weeks ago to pick out some … [Read more...]
