Babes and Kids Review

What’s for Dinner? I’m not a gourmet cook, that’s no secret. But I do enjoy trying new recipes and cooking for my family. I think it stems from my mom. She was always trying new things, and since I’m not a picky person when it comes to food, I was always open to try anything….

The Shopping Dilemma If you are anything like me, you dread doing any type of shopping with your kids. It seems that everytime I take my kids to the grocery store and we are there longer than 5 minutes, one of them starts throwing a fit. I usually end up buying them a snack, just…

Who Is Your Inspiration? I know we’ve all had someone that has inspired us in life. It could be a friend or family member, or some other acquaintance, so when I heard about the Chain of Confidence Challenge, I knew I wanted to be a part of it.  Here’s more about it: Tupperware is proud to…

Special occasions are always better celebrated when special measures are taken.  Bake Me a Wish knows this and offers gourmet cakes for any occasion.  This last week I held a special cause party to raise money for The Center for Courageous Kids.  Bake Me a Wish sent a beautiful and delicious Triple Enrobed Chocolate Brownie…

Chandler is definitely at that preschool age.  He’s in need of lots of stimulation!  Although he will be 4 in a few months, he doesn’t go to kindergarten for a few years.  I’ve been desperately trying to find activities to encourage and stimulate his development but I only have so many ideas.  That’s where JumpStart…

When we moved into our home, I began thinking about ways we could personalize it.  I’d seen the vinyl lettering in friend’s and family’s homes and thought it added a nice touch.  I am a bit of an indecisive person though so I’ve never put any up.  When I had the opportunity to do a…

It seems like laundry is a never ending task in our home.  Wait, it IS a never ending task.  Believe it or not, I often start a load of laundry only to get distracted and realize 12 hours later I haven’t changed out the laundry.  So I start the load again…..and the cycle repeats.  Sadly…

I’m sure, just by reading Poo-Pourri in the title, I’ve gotten your attention.  I’ve been changing diapers for over 3 1/2 years.  I don’t love it, but it’s a part of life when you have kids.  Until recently, I had 2 in diapers, and sometimes I felt that it was inevitable that my house would…

My little brother got married in June.  We drove out of state to his wedding to help celebrate with him. A few weeks before the wedding, I found out about Fancy Fortune Cookies.  They are fortune cookies that come in a variety of colors and flavors, and can easily be personalized. Pros: What better favor…

When I started my blog last September, I began by reviewing some of my favorite products, YoBaby yogurt being one of them. You can read my original review here. Organic, and made with whole milk, they are perfect for babies and toddlers. YoBaby has just reformulated their yogurt to include Vitamin D and Zinc. Rowan…

As mentioned in a previous review, we are big pancake lovers at our house.  Dupont & Teflon recently sent us the Flip It pancake pan to review, with this fun patriotic design. Pros: This is a really fun innovative idea. You allow it to preheat, flag side on the bottom for around 6 minutes. Then you use…

Piggy Paint is a natural nail polish, and their clam is that it’s “natural as mud.” No matter how old you are, nail polish adds that extra feminine touch. I don’t normally paint my nails a lot, just because I have two little boys and it seems like I am crazy busy. The other night, I…

Johnson & Johnson baby care products are a staple in our home.  I’m a huge fan of the moisture care baby wash and lotion.  Plus, who doesn’t love the classic smell of Johnson’s Baby Lotion?   One of Johnson & Johnson’s newest baby products is the baby bubble bath and wash.  I love that this…

Pro Bugs by Lifeway brings a new meaning to drinkable yogurt.   I guess it isn’t exactly yogurt, but it reminds me a lot of it, only better.  Organic and made with whole milk kefir, these are great for little (and big) tummies. Pros:  We always have yogurt in our home.  I really enjoy it…
