Babes and Kids Review

Women Unite for a Cause I take pride in being a woman. Women are strong and beautiful. We are smart and know how to get things done. And when it comes to joining together for a cause, we are even stronger. For the 6th consecutive year, Macy’s is teaming up with the American Heart Association…

Bakugan DVD If you had asked me a few months ago what Bakugan was, I wouldn’t be able to tell you. That is until a friend told me her son wanted the Bakugan spheres for Christmas. That peaked my curiosity a bit. Naturally, when we received “Time for Battle” on dvd I wanted to sit…

Relieving the Common Cold Getting my boys to take medicine when they are sick isn’t always an easy task. Chan is pretty good about it now, but Rowan cries and cries and then spits it out. He just doesn’t like it. To make matters worse, Rowan has been sick with colds and respiratory issues almost…

My Favorite Things DownEast Basics is a store that has been a favorite of mine for quite some time. In fact, at almost any given time, you can find me wearing one of their wonder tees under just about every top as an undershirt. I love that the line offers modest clothing, while still giving…

Oral Health Oral Health is something that has always been important to me. Maybe it’s because I have the world’s weakest enamel and have to work hard to keep my teeth clean. Or maybe it’s because I wore braces for over 3 years and really learned good dental hygiene at that point in my life….

General Mills Cereals If you were to take a peek inside my cupboards at any given time you would definitely find one of three cereals; Cookie Crisp, Cinnamon Toast Crunch, or Honey Nut Cheerios. Both of my boys would be content to eat cereal for every meal, the love it so much. Less Sugar General…

Clothes That Fit It’s easy to say that clothing purchased off the rack doesn’t always fit everyone, because everyone isn’t built the same. When it comes to dresses, I have a really hard time buying something off the rack. Because I am tall but only wear a 4/6, everything is usually too short. If I…

What’s for Dinner? It’s dinner time and you aren’t quite sure what to make. You go from the fridge to the pantry, back to the fridge and back to the pantry again. A stupor of thought sets in and you have hungry mouths to feed. What are you going to make for dinner? Does this…

Have you ever been out to a restaraunt and had your child start acting out because they are bored? What about a child that resists meal time because they don’t want to eat? I’ve experienced this with both my boys way too many times. Hello Hana Get Set Placemats are perfect for mealtime, whether it…

Earth Friendly Cleaning Another resolution that I am going to be making this year is staying on top of my house when it comes to cleaning. I’ve been told numerous times by my sisters and mom that if I would just stay on top of it then I don’t have to spend hours one day…

Dancing with the Stars is another show that I follow. Having dance background myself, it is fun to see what the professionals are able to teach the celebrities in such a short amount of time. Although my dance training is not in ballroom, it’s something that I’ve always thought would be fun to learn. Dancing…

I love reality tv. I have quite a few shows that I record on my dvr and watch faithfully. The Biggest Loser is one of them. I often joke with hubby that it’s a great show to watch while eating a pint of ice cream. Ok, so not really, but I love the show just…

Functional Products for Gifts and New Year’s Resolutions I like to cook and I like to try to be organized. Sometimes I feel like we end up spending more money on groceries when we don’t have an organized budget and meals planned out. Weekly meal planning is something that I have tried to incorporate, but…

Hosting Holiday Parties With the holidays rapidly approaching, it is expected that we will be hosting friends and family for get togethers and parties. We actually won’t be hosting anyone for Christmas as we are headed out of town, but we most likely will have our close friends over for New Year’s Eve. It’s become…

It’s amazing to think what kind of toys were cool when I was a kid. I remember getting excited over a little keyboard or a baby doll. Then I look at what types of toys kids have to play with today and am in awe. There are toys that are interactive, encourage kids to exercise…

Transformation Memoir I’m always looking for a good read to take with me to work. Sometimes it gets slow in the middle of the night and it’s nice to have a good book to dive into. The Imposter is A Transformation Memoir by Kip Kreiling. It’s the story of how he survived the unimaginable as…
