Smart Solutions for Busy Moms!
If you’re in the Seattle area, then you know that the Seattle Art Museum is a must-see place for families. We’ve been several times when we visit that side of the state – {we’re about 2 1/2 hours from Seattle, but head over often, for Abby’s trips to Seattle Children’s Hospital or to visit grandpa.} And now, they’ve got some serious fun planned for your kiddos this summer – check it out:

Being able to have a job that I love, that also allows me to be here at home every day with my little girl, is an amazing thing. I woudn’t trade it for the world. But, there are a lot of “pains” that come along with the awesome parts….
Some of the pains I deal with are due to the unpredictability of working online – things like an income that varies greatly from month to month, changes in social media or search results that can impact my traffic, and just keeping up with the ever-changing world of the web. There is also the pain of trying to balance both of my important jobs each day – the job of running and growing my online businesses, and the job of being a mom.

I’m super excited to share some great gardening tips with you guys today – I’m a sponsored blog partner with Pennington and am participating in their Pennington Smart Feed Program campaign. So I’ll be sharing some of the products we use to kick off the garden for spring, and keep it rockin’ all the way through until fall. And if you’re a newbie gardener, don’t worry – I’m no pro either. But I’m learning as I go what works and what doesn’t, with some guidance from my amazing Master Gardener mother. First, let me show you a little of what I’m working with…
Ok ladies, you know that I’m a frugal mom, right? {Did the fact that I write a whole column on Frugal Living help to give it away?} I’m also all about keeping life as uncomplicated as possible, by finding the best products and services that help simplify the chaos of my busy life. I call them “Smart Solutions for Busy Moms” – things that save money, save time, and save your sanity. You know, so you have more time and money to devote to the awesome things in life. Which is what we all long for, right?
What does spring mean to you? For me, it means that I’m planting seeds for my spring garden, getting serious about weight loss since summer is approaching fast, and stocking up on great products to do a major spring cleaning extravaganza around this place. Spring really motivates me to get organized again – I mean heck, in winter, it’s so dark and dreary you don’t even really see those monster dust bunnies hiding in the corners… But once the sunshine of spring arrives, it’s hard to ignore the mess. And… We’ve been working on some MAJOR remodeling and DIY projects lately, so we’ve DEFINITELY got a lot of extra mess {watch for a big post soon!} – but between the major craziness of all that, I’m also working on those little “trouble spots” that we’ve ignored for far too long. Check out one of the worst offenders…
Save, snap, and donate – that’s what you can do this month with the help of Johnson & Johnson… You know that I am a BIG fan of brands that give back, right? I love to see powerful people use that influence to do positive things. And I love using my voice as a blogger to share causes that I’m passionate about. And one campaign this spring that I think you’ll love too is from Johnson & Johnson – they’re helping you save big on the spring supplies you need this month, while also giving you a really fun way to help support some incredibly worthy causes.
