BlogHer Wardrobe Sponsor: Kuru Footwear
Published on Friday, July 31, 2009 by caryn If you ask anyone close to me, they'll tell you that my number one must-have accessory is a pair of nice shoes. When I was younger, I was more concerned with style than comfort. I'd walk in 2 or 3 inch heels all day only to come home and soak them because I preferred fashion over function. As a nurse and a mom, I'm on my feet all day. Comfort is a necessity th... Read More » -

I’m Learning to Cook…Thanks Frigi...
Published on Friday, July 31, 2009 by caryn If you read my blog, then you know I can't don't know how prefer to let the hubby cook. Well, with his frequent business travels, I often resort to ordering out (since it's so much more convenient). As our second little baby brews, I'm starting to think about how we can cut costs. The most obvious way is to minimize the amount of times we eat out each week is fo... Read More » -

BlogHer Recap #1
Published on Thursday, July 30, 2009 by caryn Whew...I'm exhausted. I've been home for over about 24 hours, and to be honest, I've been a little distracted with my sweet little boy who I missed terribly. So much so that I ended up bawling on Saturday night at BowlHer as I was talking to a rep from Pepperidge Farm (I am so sorry and I can't remember your name!). But those tears of homesickness and remorse ov... Read More » -

Milk…It Does a Body Good!
Published on Monday, July 27, 2009 by caryn My son loves his milk. I actually have to work to get him to drink other liquids because he would drink milk all day if I let him. For some parents, getting their children to drink milk is a struggle. And according to a study conducted by the national Milk Council (source Mom Central), more than 1000 moms across the U.S. reported fruit drinks and slushies among th... Read More » -

And my excitement is clouded just a bit since I am leaving him fo... Read More » -

Clear2Go
Published on Monday, July 13, 2009 by caryn 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 is that bottled water is costly, both to... Read More » -
