Read MoreHow To Keep Track of Your Kids' Memories & Milestones

When I was younger, I used to journal all. of. the. time. - but now that I’m older, I find it is much harder to stay on top of writing things down or tracking fun memories and moments of not only my life, but also for my kids. I love all of the fun ideas for keeping track of your kids’ memories and milestones, but I often find it hard to know when or how often to write something down, or even what exactly to write or say. I often draw a blank. I’m sure our life is exciting and fun and worth sharing, but where do I begin?

Read MoreSummer Deals with Amazon Prime Days & Target Deal Days

With Amazon’s Prime Day and Target’s Deal Days both landing in July this year, it’s kind of like having Black Friday in the summer! I’m not an advocate for spending money that you don’t have, but if you have been holding out for specific items to go on sale, or want to shop really early for birthdays or holidays this year, now would be a great time to buy! You’ve likely seen all over the news that major retail stores like Target are slashing prices to help move overstock items from their stores ahead of the fall and holiday seasons. So I think we’re going to see some pretty major discounts all over this summer.
There are clearly going to be TONS of deals across Amazon and Target during these days, so I’m going to try my best to help showcase some of the best deals from both places - items that we have and love in our house or things that we have on wishlists!
