Published on Wednesday, January 14, 2009 by caryn My husband and I are are avid coffee drinkers. So much so that our family's gift giving often includes a gift card to any number of local coffee shops. Coffee on the run is preferable to no coffee at all, but there is nothing like a fresh cup of coffee straight from a French Press. We recently sampled Eight O' Clock Coffee's Original grind. This medium roa... Read More » -

Published on Monday, January 12, 2009 by caryn As a parent of a toddler who is in the beginning phases of potty training, I know that the day I throw away that last diaper will be a celebration in our household. I'm going to throw a party for my husband and I when we make it through to the other side. Someone once told me that everybody they've ever known is potty trained, which means that our chances of b... Read More » -

Vaseline Clinical Therapy Giveaway
Published on Thursday, January 8, 2009 by caryn This giveaway is now closed. Thanks for stopping by. The winner is Martha H. Congratulations! I wash my hands. Alot. The fact that I'm a mom AND a nurse (a neonatal intensive care nurse at that) results in frequent hand-washing that renders my hands red, raw, and sore. Now that winter is upon us (as temperate as our Southern California winters can be) I am fi... Read More » -

Published on Tuesday, January 6, 2009 by caryn I love ice cream (who doesn't?). What I don't love is the fat, calories, and cholesterol that make it so creamy and yummy. And since this is the year I'm going to lose the baby weight (optimism is key right?), I've got to start making healthier food choices. Baskin-Robbins is making it easier for all of us to stick to those New Year's weight loss resolutions wit... Read More » -

Olive Kids… Accessorize Your Child̵...
Published on Monday, January 5, 2009 by caryn Up until a few months ago, my son didn't have his own room. He "lived" with mommy and daddy in our one bedroom apartment. During my pregnancy, I spent a lot of time obsessing over researching baby products (what else do you do when you're on bedrest?) I remember the twinge of sadness I felt because I knew we weren't going to have a room for my son and I didn't k... Read More » -

At the time, my son was only ten months old and I honestly dreaded the process of getting to and from our destination. Entertaining a fussy baby on a five hour flight and l... Read More » -

Published on Monday, January 5, 2009 by caryn "Open her world, her mind, her heart" When I was a little girl, I played with Barbie dolls and Cabbage Patch Kids. In fact, I still have them boxed up at my parent's house hoping that a little girl in our future may appreciate them as much as I did. Little girls and their dolls go hand in hand. If you go to Toys R Us or any other toy retailer you'll find row ... Read More » -

Book Review: Curse of the Bone Pirates
Published on Friday, January 2, 2009 by caryn Do you know what I love about books? They do everything from teaching a preschooler their ABC's to transporting a tween to a far away land. I recently reviewed Curse of the Bone Pirates: Nui Island Eco-logical Adventures. This is the first of the Nui Island Eco-logical Adventure Series, and I hope it's not the last. While it's geared towards tweens ages 9-12,... Read More »
