Parenting styles differ with individuals One of the biggest challenges before any married couple is co-parenting, especially when parenting style of each parent is different or worse to each other. In fact, this is among the most common issues which psychologists and counselors deal in various marriage counseling sessions. It is among the most complicated problems as it involves partner’s experiences and values which are related to their own upbringing, and the problems with their parents’ parenting styles. Children need proper parenting strategies in the daily chores which helps them in their proper development. Though the parenting styles could differ with individuals, yet a number of research and studies have suggested a proper way out for these problems.

Hey all, so I am back from my trip to AZ. We had a lot of fun and I am so glad that Aiden slept on the airplane on the way over. We had fun hanging out with family and friends at the baby shower. But I do have to say Aiden has learned a lot about cause and effect. He has been kind of a brat the last few weeks. Well lets face it he is almost 2, I am sure a lot of you other moms know how that is. Well he was mad about something, so he hit the rocking glider and it rocked back at him. So of course it hit him in the face/mouth and so he got his gum cut a little. It bleed really had at first but he was fine. Poor baby. Then the night before we went home he got into the kitchen. Well I guess he wanted to look at the cans and one fell on his toe. His "big" toe swelled up so bad and it even chipped the nail a little. (could not get a good pic cause he was moving)

A few weeks ago I worked with Brylane Home and did a review on the Ashley bedding set.  I've been given the opportunity to work with Brylane Home again. This time I chose a Halogen Oven . Halogen Ovens will change the way you cook. How does a halogen oven work? Well it produces a circle of hot moving air, that cooks the food all over evenly. The food maintains its natural flavor and full nutrition. You can use a halogen oven to bake, grill, bbq, broil, steam, fry, toast, and even defrost. Halogen ovens can lower cholesterol by decomposing the fat tissues in the foods. This oven also cuts down on cooking time and uses up to 20% less electricity compared to an ordinary oven.

My daughter Emarose just joined a girl scout troop. She is a Daisy scout. This troop is just starting out and has no funds. So they need to raise some through the fall fundraiser. Funds are used to help pay for the badges that the girls earn and also to help with the cost of activities and outings that the girls do. Emarose's Kindergarten Picture If you are looking to buy/renew a magazine subscription please do so through her troop. Here is the link to her personalized selling page. Just click on the shop now button. There is quite the variety of magazines available. I'm sure you'll find one to suit your style.

Do you have problems getting your kids to brush their teeth? In my household there have been many struggles with my 4 year old and even my 2 year old to brush their teeth. Since brushing teeth is done on a daily basis, I wanted to find a good toothpaste. I found Vortex color changing toothpaste.

A few weeks ago I posted the Couponing 101  article with tips on how to get started with couponing. There are great links for couponing sites and some great info in there, so if you haven't read it yet, take a second to catch up. There are times in a couponer's life when it's best to just put the coupons down and say, 'No!' Not every coupon you can use is a great deal, and sometimes there are times when it's better to not use a coupon. How do you know when to use coupons and when to close your coupon book? Once you know what to look for, it will come second nature to you. Just keep these helpful tips in mind: Don't use a coupon just because you have it or because it's about to expire.  If you have a coupon for an item that you would never buy normally, don't use that coupon (unless you end up getting the item for free). If it's a product you'd like to try, then pause and think twice before using it. If you decide that you really do

Hey guys Katie here. I just wanted to let you know that I will be gone for a week. I am heading back to see family before the baby comes. I am so grateful to have other blogger that will be on keeping you posted on giveaways, reviews, and couponing. I hope everything goes well. Its going to be Aiden, my sister April and (a 27 week pregnant woman...me) flying out!

Here is another great Halloween treat I found on pintrest. All it is is rice krispies treats, then dip it in chocolate (which makes everything better), add some candy corn and there you go. A great treat to make with the kids and fun to eat too!

Are you having a party this Halloween? Here is a fun way (thanks to Martha Stewart) on how to keep the drink cools.

I have been fighting with to get him to sleep though the nigh. We just about a month ago moved him into his own bed. We tried to put him in his crib and he hatted it so much so we bought him a twin bed. While it has help a bit he still will not sleep for more then an hour or two before walking up. Then at about 3 am I am so tired of getting up every hour or less that I just bring him back into bed with us. I have been looking for anything that might help him sleep better at night. So when I got an email from Holistic Baby Sleep System I decided it can't hurt to try. Anything to help Aiden sleep better will also help me sleep better!

My husband and I have the guitar hero game on wii. My kids always want to play with that guitar. So they were thrilled when they received their own guitars from Leap Frog. I was able to host a leap frog Rock'n Learn party with my kids and some friends.  For the party we were sent 2 touch magic Rockin Guitars, and 1 Touch magic Learning bus. Plus some invites, activity sheets, and coupons.

My kids love my iPad. In fact, One day my daughter Emarose said, "It's not your iPad, it's mine. I just put some stuff on it for you mom." Even my 2 year old now goes over to wear my iPad is and says pad pad. I don't mind them using the iPad on occasion but I like to have educational apps and books for them to use. I'm happy that I get to review the interactive ABC teaching app. One thing that I really like about this app is that it doesn't have any ads on it. This is nice because with many apps that have ads my kids are constantly clicking on the ads and getting out of the app. Thankfully this doesn't happen with this app. The app has lots of pictures for the different letters of the alphabet. Kids can see the letters- upper and lowercase, hear the letter sounds, and see words spelled out along with pictures of different words. My kids especially love the letter T and the train. I love that while my kids are having fun using the iPad the

How your baby's growing: The network of nerves in your baby's ears is better developed and more sensitive than before. He may now be able to hear both your voice and your partner's as you chat with each other. He's inhaling and exhaling small amounts of amniotic fluid, which is essential for the development of his lungs. These so-called breathing movements are also good practice for when he's born and takes that first gulp of air. And he's continuing to put on baby fat. He now weighs about a pound and two-thirds and measures 14 inches ( an English hothouse cucumber ) from head to heel. If you're having a boy, his testicles are beginning to descend into his scrotum — a trip that will take about two to three days.

I love maternity cloths, because I love to show off my belly! I got a wonderful chance to work with 2 Chix , they make a ton of fun and cute maternity cloths. Most of the time when I have done shopping for maternity cloths its been one size fits more or it makes you look fat not pregnant. Ok sure its baby fat but that does not mean you want to feel fat and in it.

My 2 kids love to read books. They also love to "steal" my iPad and use it. So I was pleased when I found an iPad app that is a cute book. The book is Dragon and Wolf . The app is ideal for ages 4-8, but even younger kids can enjoy the story.

Here is another great food to make for Halloween. I found it on pintrest (I love pintrest), but I will also leave a link at the bottom to the blogger who did the post a year ago. All it is is bananas, white chocolate and two small chocolate chips! Thanks  Skinny Taste  for the idea!!

Today, couponing is nothing like what your grandmother or mother used to do. In complete honesty, it's nothing like you see on those reality TV shows, either. The truth about couponing and its benefits lies somewhere between simply saving $0.50 on a loaf of bread and walking away with $1,000 worth of groceries for $5.00. When done correctly, you can cut your grocery bill in half (or more) just by couponing. It's not something that is done overnight, but once you really get into it, it can be addictive. So, I know you are asking where to start, right? Well, right here. You clicked on this article which means you've taken the first step into couponing. In today's post, I'll give you the basics you need to get started and a few tips that will make the process easier. My Coupon Binder In order to save the maximum amount of money when you grocery shop, the key is combining coupons with weekly sales at your grocery store. This is where couponing gets fun, profitab

This is yet another great movie that is now coming to 3D!!! Its not till December 19th but it would be a great early Christmas presents to take the kids too.

Hey all, so as most of you might know I am very skeptical about trying new face washes. This is because I have very (and I mean VERY) sensitive skin. Most of the time when I get face washes they burn, peel, or even make me break out more. So I have gone though a ton of different stuff. So when I find one that does not burn, turn my face red, make me peel or any of that horrible stuff I'm all over it. So when Dermagist first emailed me I was kinda scared. But I am always up to trying this at least once. So I picked their Detoxifying Cleanser with resveratrol for acne-prone skin  because I always have break out (and lets face it once I got pregnant I really started to get break outs again). But I think what scarred me even more then trying this was.... taking a picture of my face with no make up on! But I decided the best way for you guys to know if it really works is to show you.

My son, Jerom, is in the process of potty training. In fact just this last week he went pee in the potty at night 4 out of 8 nights. Since he still doesn't go consistently in the potty I needed a good training pant.  So I was thankful to find Super Undies. Super Undies has a variety of training pant styles to suit your trainers needs. They have the pull on potty training pants and the pocket potty training pants for daytime training. Plus they have the nighttime undies potty training pant. I found the video showing differences in the two daytime trainers helpful for me to decide which one to choose.

Just a quick reminder to everyone that enters giveaways on our site. We check and verify your entries. For the Blogorama Back to School event, I had to disqualify 2 potential winners because they did not complete the task that they said they did. I hate to disqualify people so please be honest when entering. I understand that occasionally you make a mistake, but please try to be careful and honest. If you are not sure if you completed a task correctly you can always ask. Thanks

My family is on a budget. We don't have lots of extra money to spend. So one way we choose to save money is to bring our lunches to work/school instead of buying our lunch. I hate having to search to find the right container and/or lid. Thankfully Rubbermaid allowed me to review the new LunchBlox sandwich kit.
