Starting to potty train with Pampers Easy Up Underware #pamperseasyup

girls-pack-shotWelcome to the world of toddlers that amazing time when they’re still soooo cute and the things that come out of their mouth are heart meltingly cute too. There just one thing thats not fun about this time of raising a child, which is the potty training time.

I’m not a fan of changing diapers (but I’ve still changed my fair share!). I really dont love potty training, maybe its because everyone has an thought of which way is the best, or telling you to attempt to potty train way to early.

Our middle child Harper is now 3.5 years old and we are well away its past the point in time she should be potty trained or at the very least attempting to train.  She’s been in diapers long enough.

Pampers has an awesome website with amazing resources to help you decide if now is a good time to start potty training with your child.  Kids will love the new Dora and Thomas the Train designs, and Hello Kitty will be hitting shelves soon enough.bbcx06297214_silk6_kv_dora

1472749669-5f432811c223af8f64ca06e07d056242Having a toddler is amazing but it can also seem like they are always eating.  Trying to get them to eat healthy foods isn’t always easy… thankfully my little monster loves fruits, veggies and yogurt.  Our go to snack are foods that have some nutritional value, while not ruining her appetite for dinner.

unnamedSo good for her foods like Chobani Kids Tubes and Pouches like are amazing to share after a day at school or even pop into my older one’s lunchbox.  It’s been our go-to snack for a while now, and our daughters love them.  Since our youngest two see our son who’s now in the 3rd grade carry a lunch to school – I like knowing that he’s setting a good example. His lunches typically contain a Chobani Kids Greek Yogurt tube, his favorite new Strawberry Banana. Those character’s don’t make for a hard sell either. It helps re-enforce the health eating habits and it’s a food I can feel good about filled with protein and real fruits.  Packing lunches and trying to find a good nutritional snacks can be difficult but neither of those are my problems when my child’s plate looks like this…

As we get into the Back-to-School groove in our house we’re constantly looking for new ways to make lunches fun and good for our little ones. Chobani is helping parents by sharing some “swap out” ideas – check it out here.

Fall back into style with the new MSX collection from JCPenney #MSXEverywhere

Fall back into style with the new MSX collection from JCPenney #MSXEverywhere

cat100250022_mt00014_57000026 As summer comes to an end, its time to update your wardrobe and change the causal summer shorts for something a little more stylish yet functional.  I was invited to the launch event of the MSX by Michael Strahan a few weeks back and finally their clothes are now in JCPenney stores and online.  The best part of this line beyond being on trend and everyday great prices, is they also make a big and tall segment.  I’m not the smallest of guys, so finding something that could be my everyday staple is somewhat challenging but this line of athlesiure is just what my stylist (cough…my wife) ordered.

DP0513201620493333CIn collaboration with JCPenney, I picked up some new fall outerwear the MSX by Michael Strahan Premium Tech Knit Hoodie – which will be great as it gets a little colder, but really what I love are these amazing slacks.  I picked up a couple of MSX by Michael Strahan Stretch Chino Pants in grey and in black too. They will be my go to work pants, but in the end these pants are just so worth it.
