  • What are the benefits of giving your child a smartphone?📱For me, it’s all about being able to stay in touch with my kids when they aren’t with me. I want to be able to reach them when they go to sports, after-school activities, friends’ houses, etc. I also think that smartphones can be beneficial for academic purposes. My son’s high school posts assignments, grades and more online that he needs to be able to access in order to be successful at school. . As parents, I think it’s important to sit down with our kids and discuss potential situations like how to handle bullying, emergencies, social media, etc. BEFORE we give a child a smartphone. . Once we decide the timing is right for our twin girls, I am happy to know that #Verizon offers a #JustKidsPlan that comes with parental controls, filters and more. Stop by a Verizon store to learn more! 💕#brandpartner
  • Summer is my favorite time of year, except for one thing….BUGS. 🐜 As soon as the weather gets warmer, alllll the bugs think that they need to camp out inside of my home.

  • What fun activities do you have planned for your kids this summer? My twin girls are doing a soccer camp this week and a basketball camp next month. I’m sure we’ll spend plenty of days at the pool and lake too. I have to keep them active or they just want to watch tv or be on devices. I’m sure all you parents can relate! 😊
  • What is the right age to give your child a smartphone?📱This has been a huge topic of discussion in our house! Our twin girls are 9 and they have friends who already have phones so, of course, they think they need to have one too. As a parent, it’s hard to know when it’s the right time. . Over the next 4 weeks, I’ll be partnering with Verizon to share my family’s experiences, along with their new, kid-friendly plan that is designed to meet the needs of kids and parents 💕 I hope you’ll join me! #justkidsplan #verizon #sponsored

  • Lost at sea 💕🛳 I’m so incredibly thankful that my girls and I had the opportunity to experience @RoyalCaribbean’s #NavigatoroftheSeas. When I went on my first cruise almost a year ago, I had no idea what to expect. I was honestly a little scared. But now after five cruises, I think it’s safe to say I’ve fallen in love! There’s just something about being out in the middle of the ocean that is calming to me. And the sunsets are pretty amazing too 😍 #ComeSeek #PerfectDayatCocoCay #ad
