I spent the second half of 2011 as a Ragu Mom’s the Word on Dinner ambassador because not a single week goes by without us using Ragu in at least one meal.  I truly love this product, and through this program I have had the privilege of learning more about not only changes made to…

It’s time for another Twitter Party with Leah from @Bookieboo and Mamavation! November is National Diabetes Awareness month. Yes, the same month we stuff our bellies with turkey, mashed potatoes and stuffing. I think it’s fitting to remind us BEFORE the holidays get started how important it is to be aware of Type 2 Diabetes…

First steps were a very long journey with our first child.  She was nearly eleven months before she crawled, so we knew she would be older than a year before walking.  What we didn’t realize is that she would walk on her knees for a long time before finally walking regularly every day around 18…

As I mentioned in yesterday’s post, I grew up traveling with my family to state and national parks, landmarks and historical sites.  I remember long rides in the car, including a multiple day road trip from Pennsylvania to Alabama and back again.  I am so thankful that my children not only have picked up my…

Jackson, the story features Mara, an endearing lion cub who strives…

There are certain milestones in a child’s life that require a little extra clean-up, and I’d say that first birthdays are on the top of that list.  My daughter wasn’t sure that she liked the cake or even the icing, but she sure tried hard to like it, smushing it all over her hand and…

With my first child, milestones were like the elephant in the room.  My daughter was born two months early, and while most babies her age were sitting unsupported, pulling up on furniture, and beginning to crawl, Emma was still struggling for muscle control and strength.  With each milestone, the pediatrician gave us both the “normal”…

Over the past year I’ve had the pleasure of hosting parties for Perdue, a brand that I grew up enjoying and one that I now purchase for my own family.  Because of this, I was excited to learn that Perdue is the first poultry company to receive the USDA process verified seal.  As parents, we…

For this reason, we’ve created a Twitter Party Calendar page, which is the…

Melissa was chosen by random number generator, and her money saving shopping tip was: “I shop a few sizes ahead when things go on clearance for my son (he’s only 5 months old and I have clothes through size 18 mos).

This giveaway is now closed. Congrats to winner Kelly Ann. I’ve written several times about how wonderful it was when my daughter, who is now six years old, began transitioning to small toys.  While I loved the large blocks and giant playsets as much as any mom, the fact remains that smaller toys mean less…

On July 22nd, Resourceful Mommy will celebrate its second bloggiversary!  It’s hard to believe that two years ago I wrote my very first blog post.  I am just now feeling as though the honeymoon is over.  No longer a newbie, certainly not a member of the Old Guard, I believe I’m moving into sophomore status…
