Smooshies Giveaway!

By Caryn ~ July 13, 2009 Comments

I have to start by saying my husband can be a clown sometimes. He likes to joke a ton and it’s one of the many things I love about him. Last week, we received a fun little package from One2One. It contained a Smooshie and an extra set of parts. Perhaps I should start by [...]

Everything Green

Clear2Go

By Caryn ~ July 13, 2009 Comments

I recently read an article from the National Resources Defense Council, stating that bottled water is “not necessarily cleaner or safer than most tap water.” Honestly, this was difficult to read. I used to be a huge consumer of bottled water. I would NEVER drink tap water unless I was stuck somewhere, thirsty. The reality [...]

Apples or Applesauce?

By Caryn ~ July 13, 2009 1 Comment

Both these days! At least that’s what my toddler wants. Every night for the past year and a half or so, my son has had a cup of applesauce after dinner. It’s sort of a tradition we started when he was younger to get him to take his vitamins. He actually asks us for his [...]

Smart Comparison Shopping with Pebble

By Caryn ~ July 9, 2009 1 Comment

I am a shopaholic love to shop. Now that I can access millions of sites, companies, and products online, at the click of a button, I rarely go into a brick and mortar store (unless it’s for groceries). Now while I enjoy shopping, it actually takes me some time to make a purchase. I do [...]

Pocket Dots

By Caryn ~ July 11, 2009 Comments

I’ve officially been forced to wear graduated to maternity clothes. My pre-pregnancy pants fit, but they don’t necessarily zip and button and my previous maternity pants are still a bit big. So what’s a girl to do? The answer is Pocket Dots! Who would have guessed that I could wear my pre-pregnancy pants just a [...]

Off! PowerPad Lamp & Lantern Giveaway

By Caryn ~ July 11, 2009 82 Comments

It was a gorgeous day today in Southern California, despite the fact that it was HOT! We spent the day hanging with friends, eating and swimming. I love being outdoors, especially in the evenings, since the weather cools down to a very comfortable temperature. What I don’t like….bugs! In fact, hubby thinks I’m a little [...]

Bedtime With Elmo

By Caryn ~ July 8, 2009 90 Comments

I am the first to admit that I’m not an expert on sleep, particularly when it comes to children. We co slept with my son until he was a year and a half and while he finally made it to his crib, on any given day or night you will find him curled up between [...]

Oh Baby! Green to Grow Bottles

By Caryn ~ July 7, 2009 Comments

I’m in baby mode. This time around, I know exactly what I do and don’t need. I loved Stephanie’s series on baby niceties and necessities. I think it’s really useful for moms (either first-time or otherwise) to know what they truly do and don’t need. I’d hate to come home that first day from the [...]

Mineral Makeup 101: Whole Foods Mineral Fusion Kits

By Caryn ~ July 7, 2009 Comments

I’m not a vain woman, but I like to look nice. Before children, you’d never find me in public without my hair straightened (and of course highlighted and layered), perfectly groomed eyebrows (and legs for that matter), the latest fashion threads, and a perfectly made up face. I remember when my husband and I [...]

Ecousable

By Caryn ~ July 5, 2009 1 Comment

My husband and I strive to make our home as healthy and eco-friendly as possible, particularly because we have a little boy and one on the way. One of the things we do is avoid buying bottled water. I can’t say that we’ve eliminated plastic water bottles completely, but for the most part, we use [...]

Mr. Mom, Confessions of a Blogger’s Hubby

By Caryn ~ July 10, 2009 9 Comments

In our house, when you here the little one saying “No, no”, “Uh-oh” or “Thats Yuk!”, there’s probably a good reason. And as history would have it, there was no exception with today’s event! Since I was playing house husband today while mommy worked, I tried hard to balance the incessant requests for varying colors [...]

BlogHer Countdown

By Caryn ~ July 9, 2009 3 Comments

BlogHer ‘09 is days away and I’m both excited and slightly overwhelmed with all the things to think about: bloggers and companies I finally get to meet in person, breakout sessions that I can’t wait to attend, the LA to Chicago flight with something like 30 bloggers on it, so many parties I can’t even [...]

Giveaways: Trying Something New (Updated!)

By Caryn ~ July 8, 2009 9 Comments

I am really enjoying the comments I’ve already received. Thank you so much for your input! One of the questions posed was whether or not extra entries would be given for things that have already been done on current giveaways. The answer is yes. Nothing has been changed as of yet. There are only two [...]

At a Crossroads…

You’re at a stand still, You’re at an impasse
Your mountain of dreams, seems harder to climb
Susan Ashton

When I was a little girl, I dreamed about all the things I would do. I wanted to sing and dance and travel the world. But do you know what I wanted even more than all of those things? [...]
