Babes and Kids Review

Curious George 2: Follow That Monkey That funny little monkey is at it again in Curious George 2: Follow That Monkey. Chandler really liked the first movie, and it’s one that we own, so I didn’t have to wonder if he would like Curious George 2. It was released on March 3rd and made it’s…

Just For Women I think I can safely say that a lot of you reading are pulled in a lot of different directions. It might be taking care of your families, working, cleaning, volunteering in your community, etc. Whatever it is, it’s nice to take time and put yourself first first sometimes. Yoplait understands this…

Little Movers From the moment a child is born, it seems like they are constantly moving. Whether it be kicking, rolling over, crawling, cruising, walking, or running. For the past 4 1/2 years, we’ve had at least one in diapers. There was a point for about 18 months that we had 2 in diapers, so…

Making Bisquick Pancakes We eat breakfast for dinner probably once a week. It’s really yummy and cost effective.  Hubby is awesome at making Mickey Mouse pancakes. Me – not so much. Last week, Chandler and I made up some Bisquick batter to have pancakes for dinner. With a few simple ingredients and a minute of…

Beauty on a Budget There are a lot of months that we are barely scraping by. That doesn’t mean that I don’t like to feel beautiful, inside and out. Disney Family recently added a Makeover Moms section to their website that gives moms tips, ideas, and inexpensive ways to shine inside and out. One feature…

Funky Monkey – New Flavors Last summer, we sampled the 4 flavors available from Funky Monkey Snacks. Check out my original review here to see our take, and the original 4 flavors. A few months back, Funky Monkey introduced 3 new flavors including; Mango J, Pine Pineapple, and Applemon. The new flavors still have everything…

Car Seats Car Seats. If you are a parent, you’ve been there. Looked, compared, tested and such. After having 2 little boys, and 4 carseats, I tend to know what I like and don’t like about a seat. Car seats are something I won’t skimp on. My child is much too important to me to…

When I think of a Sporting Goods store, Dick’s is the first that comes to mind. They have just about everything that you can think of, and more. In fact, I was just in there and bought some new running shoes and a Nike +. I love that when I go there, I can always…

Oreck Halo Vacuum This last month was rough to say the least. Between all of us sharing colds and Rowan being hospitalized for RSV and his asthma problems, I’m happy to report that we are all finally feeling well. I think in part that has to do with a clean home and especially clean carpets….

Creative Baby Gifts It seems like when you go to a baby shower, there are always those baby gifts that everyone makes a big fuss about because they are really cute, or very creative. I remember this being the case at my baby shower with Chandler as well as other baby showers that I have…

Date Night When you have kids, it takes a lot of effort to effort to get a babysitter, plan a night out, and actually get out. Not to mention, it ends up being costly. Hubby and I like to go out, but also think we can create the mood at home and have a nice…

Hair Struggle? It seems like I’ve fought with my hair for a very long time. My sisters and I were lucky enough to inherit my mom’s fiercly thick and coarse hair, that of course has some natural curl. Though I am grateful to have a thick head of hair, it hasn’t always been easy to…

Ready for Spring? I’m starting to get spring fever. It’s halfway through February, and March is right around the corner. You know what that means, right? Bright colors, cropped pants, light tees. I think it’s safe to say that DownEast Basics is more than ready and prepared for Spring to come. After previewing their new…

Sending Comfort Have you ever wanted to do something for someone that is going through a rough patch and you aren’t quite sure what to do? Flowers die, cards might be thrown away, and so on. Bee Well Wishes is a company that is based around giving something that lasts. After all, the founders have…

Dentyne Gum At any given time, if you ask me if I have gum, I usually do. I tend to carry some in my purse at all times and usually have some in our candy dish as well. (Having it in the candy dish is a good reminder to grab a piece of gum instead…

Gearing up for Game Time It’s that time of year again. Superbowl time that is. For me, one of the highlights of the superbowl each year is the commercials. After all, some of the best and most memorable were aired during the Superbowl. We will probably just watch it with our family, but that doesn’t…
