The 5 Best Toys for Extending Your Time Outside with the Kids

June 21 by Steph (MPMK Founder)

School is officially out and this momma is ready! When it comes to summer, there are a few supplies I just can't do without as a mom of three; sunscreen, easily-portable snacks, and the perfect beach and water toys. To me, plunking down a little of my hard-earned money on high quality outdoor toys- that I know will last us all summer long- is more than worth it. I want my kids outside and away from screens as much as possible (and if I get to relax on the beach or in a lawn chair in my … [Read more...]

Parenting Styles: How I became a Hockey Mom against my Better Judgement

May 16 by Lara Lillibridge

  I walked into the hockey rink at 6:30 am on a Saturday. Now, school didn’t even start until 8:00 am, so 6:30 was not a time I was normally awake, nor was it a time I wanted to be awake.

I hadn’t intended on becoming a hockey mother. Unlike when … [Read more...]
