  • AD Growing up, I played just about every sport I could. I loved being competitive and having fun with my friends. To this day, I enjoy staying active and being fit, and I encourage my kids to the same. . It’s been so fun to watch my twin girls play competitive soccer and basketball, two of my favorite sports. As a mom, I think it’s important to support them and empower them to reach their goals. . That’s why I love that @Powerade (our favorite electrolyte drink for staying hydrated before & after exercise) is partnering with Walmart to donate up to $50,000 to the U.S Soccer Girls’ Development Academy! . Learn more about the donation program & purchase Powerade at Walmart here: www.walmart.com/POWERADE #PowerTheirGoals #PowerYourGoal
  • Had a great time at the lake with my loves! 🎣 We only have 3 weekends left until school starts so we’re really trying to make the best of what we have left of summer break. I sure wish my kids had 3 full months off like I did when I was a kid! When do your kids go back to school? 💕

  • How much screen time do you let your kids have each day? Do you let them have more in the summer?☀️ . If I don’t keep my kids busy over summer break, they tend to turn to devices to entertain them. I’ve used different apps to monitor and limit their screen time but after learning about Verizon’s #JustKidsPlan, I think it’s a much better option! . We stopped by our local #Verizon store to learn more about the Just Kids Plan and we were so impressed with all of the features. You can set limits, block content, restrict contacts, monitor your child’s location and more. You can add it to your Family Plan starting at $35/month per line. I’ll be sharing more details on the blog soon! 💕#brandpartner

  • 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
