Moms, you know how much time we spend on our feet each day. As a stay-at-home mom, I have the option to sit down for a little while when I really feel exhausted, so working moms who don’t have that luxury – I feel for you! I know that my feet take the brunt of [...]
Whenever Spring finally arrives in New England, I begin my hunt for fun, outdoor/indoor toys. Here in the North East, just because it’s May, you can’t guarantee that you will get to play outside – it can literally be 45 degrees one day and 75 the next. I like to find toys that we can [...]
In my pre-child life, I loved to have candles all around my house. I loved how they smell, I loved how they looked, and I liked that I could add a little design flare to my house with different holders and colors. Enter children. And there went my candles. (Along with all of my other [...]
A couple weeks ago I had the opportunity to attend a very fun Spring Soiree put on by Cascade Ice and hosted at Mane Blow Dry Bar in Seattle. This was a very fun event and surprisingly educational. Although I showed up at Mane being very familiar with Cascade Ice, I learned two things – [...]
If you are a parent, I am sure you have had the pleasure *ahem* of taking a little one’s temperature when they aren’t feeling well. We all know that it can be near impossible to get an accurate reading on a child who is unhappy, unwell, and does not want their personal space invaded. I [...]
As the weather finally starts getting warmer here in New England, hopefully to stay, I have been going a little crazy trying to clean and organize. I always think of this time as “Spring cleaning” time, but for me it’s more about organization – and unfortunately it’s getting worse before it gets better. Ha! Lucky for [...]
We’ve all been there, no matter how peaceful and calm things may look on the outside, being a mom sometimes (or often) includes a lot of stress. Recently I was introduced to Darlene Berkel, creator of the Ultimate Stress Relief Toolkit and owner of Natural Stress Relief Tips for Women. Darlene graciously agreed to answer [...]
Ever since becoming a mother to a little girl, I am always on the hunt for new, unique clothes for her to wear. I always keep in mind the quality of the products that I buy. I am a girl who likes to have a few high quality pieces rather than a ton of so-so [...]
Today’s giveaway is going to make one very luck lady super happy and super fashionable! When eBags contacted us to collaborate on a review and giveaway, I may have squealed a little. I LOVE bags! I LOVE the feeling that I get when I have a new, beautiful accessory, and finding out about eBags has [...]
It’s that time of year again… a time when my oldest son’s hayfever and other spring allergies come to life in full force, making my 6’2″, 16 year old man-child a rather pathetic mess. He’s not alone, and some of the younger boys struggle with it as well. The times when his allergies act up [...]
Welcome to A Frog In My Soup! My name is Shera and I am the mom behind the "Soup" or the "Frogs" whichever you happen to be reading about. My hubby and I have been married for 18 years. We have 6 sons that frequent these pages: CJ (16), Salesman (13), Tater (12), J-Man (8) & The TwinkyDinks (or Tweebs depending on their mood) - Bugs & Monkey (6 & 6). This blog is a little piece of my life, a large piece of my sanity and even a bit of my heart thrown in. There are days I laugh … Read more
