My kids are super picky about what they eat. Some are a little better than others, but they all can be kind of choosy on what they want to eat. So, I worry about whether or not they're getting the nutrients they need. To help ensure they're getting the proper vitamins and minerals, I give my kids multivitamins. Because they don't care for the texture of chewable vitamins and can't swallow pills, I usually buy them gummy vitamins.

It's funny. I remember watching My Little Pony cartoons and playing with My Little Pony dolls when I was little. And now, my daughter does, too! Granted, I think the newer My Little Pony characters are cooler than the ones I watched growing up.

A few weeks ago, I received some of the new Playskool Friends My Little Pony toys to try out. My daughter was so excited when the package came. She kept asking me to open her pony toys.

My family has had its share of mishaps with electronic devices. Last summer, my one son dropped his tablet in the driveway and cracked the screen. It worked for a few months after that, but then the screen got too messed up to be able to use the tablet. And just today, my other son dropped his tablet and cracked the screen! If only I had put a good screen protector on their tablets, then maybe we could have saved some money (and tears!)

Recently, I had the chance to try the intelliGLASS Hardened Glass Screen Protector from intelliARMOR. IntellGLASS screen protectors are made from hardened glass, which offers better than steel scratch protection. It's combined with an oil and smudge resistant outer layer and an advanced silicone base layer that sticks to your phone and tablet without bubbles and doesn't leave behind any sticky residue.

Recently, I had the chance to share some new products from Garnier Skincare with my friends and family, thanks to Crowdtap. I received the party package right before Christmas, so I thought it would be fun to bring it along to my sister's Christmas Eve party.

The party package included samples of Garnier SkinActive Micellar Cleansing Water (regular and waterproof) and Garnier SkinActive Clearly Brighter Brightening & Smoothing Daily Moisturizer.

 Sorry, this post is a little late. I've been so busy with work and being sick the past couple days. But, anyway, Happy New Year!

I just reread my post from New Year's Day last year. I did horrible at keeping my resolutions!  I didn't accomplish any of them -- and I only made three!

Really, they could apply for this year, too. I still need to work on being more present. A few months ago, my two-year-old was playing with my phone and she took this picture of me.


This totally captures what the scene looks like on a weekday while my older kids are at school. I'm usually on my computer (though that laptop has since stopped working!) and my daughter is off playing somewhere in the house. I need to play more with her. I had written about how sad I was that she's my last baby and yet I'm not enjoying her toddler years. I'm wishing she's older, so she could go to school!

I also still need to get in shape. I spent so much time sitting this year. I need to get off my butt!

And I WILL change my blog this year.

What are your plans for this year?
