Mother’s Day 2009: Hallmark
Published on Wednesday, April 29, 2009 by caryn It's 2009 and I have one question...does anyone send cards out except me? Growing up, my parents emphasized the importance of sending cards...on the exact date of the event, in fact. I gave and received cards for birthdays, holidays, and any other occasion you can think of. I know we live in a technologically-based society where going paperless and digital i... Read More » -

Published on Wednesday, April 29, 2009 by caryn This giveaway is now closed. Thanks for stopping by. The winner is CMC. Congrats! I'm not sure about you, but one of the things I'd really like this Mother's Day is something I would never buy for myself. I can't remember the last time I purchased something indulgent like a lotion or face cream or went out to a restaurant without my husband. It would b... Read More » -

Ragu Old World Style
Published on Wednesday, April 29, 2009 by caryn I interrupt my "countdown to Mother's Day" with something that is going to help all moms get dinner on the table a little faster, with less effort. I don't like to cook. I've said it numerous times. I won't belabor the point (*smiles*). Thankfully, I have a husband who does. There are those times when my husband comes home late from work, or is out of town o... Read More » -

Disneyland Press Event Recap
Published on Wednesday, April 29, 2009 by caryn As a season pass holder, I frequent Disneyland about 2-4 times a month. But last Friday, I had an opportunity to see Disneyland in a different light. I was one of "the press" at an exclusive Media Preview day along with Amanda from Mommy Mandy. Imagine my surprise when I was handed this: After we "checked in," we were escorted to a private Celebration Roundup... Read More » -

Published on Wednesday, April 29, 2009 by caryn This giveaway is now closed. Thanks for stopping by. The winner is Suanne. Congrats! It's so interesting to me how one's sense of smell is closely tied to mood and memories. What do you think of when someone mentions "home." Is it the smell of your favorite home-cooked meal? Is it the perfume that your mother wears? Is it the smell of Lysol your father ... Read More » -

Just So We’re Clear…

I've recently written a disclosure policy with clear information on how I conduct reviews, giveaways, advertising and more. If you ever have a question, please don't hesitate to contact me.

Mother’s Day 2009: Photofiddle
Published on Monday, April 27, 2009 by caryn Almost every room in our house has at least one picture of my son. And while all of them are special and represent memories that are permanently etched in my heart, one stands out. I recently worked with Photofiddle to create (well, they did all of the "creating") an absolutely gorgeous piece of art out of a photo taken this past November. The company specialize...

Mother’s Day 2009: Toshiba
Published on Monday, April 27, 2009 by caryn Moms today are BUSY! We take care of our children, we keep our houses clean and in order, we shuttle our kids off to school and extra-curricular activities, we homeschool, we work at home, we work away from home and multi-task in so many ways. Moms today are "in the know," connected, and technologically savvy. We design websites, run companies, and teach (among ma... Read More » -

Published on Monday, April 27, 2009 by caryn Photo gifts are one of my favorites to receive. I love the personal, sentimental meaning behind photo books and framed pieces. My husband dabbled in some photography when he was in college, so we have a lot of beautiful pictures and books in our home. I know in my heart that it's the thought that counts, but there is a little part of me that wants someone to lo... Read More » -

Published on Monday, April 27, 2009 by caryn I couldn't wait until Wednesday to post this picture. I have no words to describe the love I feel for my sweet baby (who'll always be my baby no matter how old he is). As I think about what Mother's Day means to me, this is how it's best depicted....

Mother’s Day 2009: Care4hire.com
Published on Sunday, April 26, 2009 by caryn As a busy, working mom, I have really struggled with the idea of leaving my son with anyone except his grandparents. In fact, up until a few months ago, I wouldn't even leave him in our church nursery (yes, I'm a bit paranoid). I just find it so stressful to think about leaving my 22 month old son with someone I don't know. But between my husband's erratic w... Read More » -

Do Something Green: Drink Responsibly
Published on Sunday, April 26, 2009 by caryn If you know me in "real life," then you know that I start each day with at LEAST 1 cup of tea, if not more. Tea for me is how I relax at night or energize in the morning. It's so much better than coffee because, not only are there like a gaziilion flavors, there are also different types (black, green, white, rooibos, etc.). I like the ability to use teas for thera...

Published on Saturday, April 25, 2009 by caryn Paper towels don't grow on trees. They kill trees. Twist You know I'm all about doing my part to preserve our environment. But when I'm asked to step out of my comfort zone and do something that may be inconvenient for me, I have to step back and evaluate whether or not it's really worth it to me to make the change. Such is the case when the subject of... Read More » -

If you have children in the house, then you want to make sure you're cleaning with products that are safe and eco-friendly.
