Parenting Styles: It’s Not Just About the Makeup
Our latest Parenting Styles post from our contributor Jessica is on a topic I haven't quite breached with my daughter, but likely will soon. So I'm so interested in her perspective as well as what you guys think! How do you convince a seven year old to enjoy being a kid? That it all goes by in the blink of an eye, that before she knows it, she’ll be a teenager, and then a college student, and then her 20s and 30s will blur past? Because my daughter wants to be older. … [Read more...]

Potty Training Know-How: Top 5 Dos and Don’ts
I'm about to start potty training my youngest child. And I'd be lying if I said I was excited about it. All I remember from last time was the amount of stress involved. And cleaning up accidents. So many accidents. Before I started the process this time, I decided it would be wise to go back over my notes. (Yes, I kept notes. Nerd alert.) I realized even though this isn't my first rodeo, I can't just jump in blindly. So I took some time to think about what worked, and of … [Read more...]

Confession: Why I’m No Longer Giving Myself 1 Year to a Non-Toxic Home
I'm writing today with a bit of a heavy heart. I'm not one for giving up on things. In fact, once I set my mind to something, there's typically no stopping me. But the "1 Year to a Non-Toxic Home Project" has been different. It started with such great intentions- namely to drastically reduce the amount of chemicals my family comes into contact with on a daily basis. The goal was, and still is, a good one. It's the totality of it - along with the timeline - that has come to be the problem. It … [Read more...]

Parenting Styles: My Son is a Slob
I adored this latest submission in our 'Parenting Styles' series- because this is TOTALLY me! It's taken a long, long, LONG time but I've finally realized that being such a big believer in teaching my kids to do for themselves means that it's not going to be done up to my standards. And that's ok. In fact it's as it should be. I've finally realized it, but living it and being cool with it is something I'm still working on. Every. Single. Day. The struggle is real people. Here's Jessica with … [Read more...]
How Iris is Making My Summer Vacations Even Better
We’re back today with Janssen’s final post on what it was really like taking her regular old home and turning it into a “smart home”. (Read all about the innovative ways she set up her home with the Iris by Lowe’s system in her last post, here.) After reading today's post, I am once again more than a little jealous that I handed the Iris off to her instead of keeping it for myself. I can't believe all the options you have with this system! Today we're covering all that the Iris by Lowe’s … [Read more...]
Summer Snacking: Tangy Orange Tangerine Creamsicles
One of my favorite parts of summer is having more time to make homemade treats with the kids! With all of the sports and after-school activities during the school year, I never seem to have any extra time to spend in the kitchen with my kids, so I love to do it as much as possible during the summer. My littles absolutely love spending time with me pouring and mixing and I see it as a great time to connect. Plus, getting them comfortable in the kitchen is an important life skill. Today … [Read more...]

Parenting Styles: Preschool Deal-Breakers
Image Credit: © Jason Lander | Play date | CC by 2.0 It's that time of year again when parents of preschool-aged kids have to lock-in their decision about what kind of school their kids will (or won't) be attending next year. While our journey has been a lot different than today's contributor, (between them, my kids have attended play-based, religious, secular, outdoor, and montessori preschools). One thing I can definitely relate to is the surprise at having to wrestle with the decision … [Read more...]
Why I Passed on a Free Sleep Number Bed… And What I Got Instead
I've got to start today with a warning: this is a LONG post. (If you want to skip straight to the mattress I finally ended up with - and LOVE - and the limited time offer for MPMK readers of 10% off and a bonus worth $500 that includes my favorite bamboo sheets, !) It's one I've been wanting to write for a long time and is packed with so much good stuff that I just couldn't trim it. I know it's a lot but I really hope you do read it all! I have become so passionate about the importance of … [Read more...]
