A couple of days ago, my husband asked me what I wanted for Mother's Day. I looked at him with a blank stare. I hadn't thought about it. With the two littles running around, Mother's Day just snuck up on me!
Last week, Western Union (the... Read More »

Two years ago, author and holistic expert Anna Getty initiated Pregnancy Awareness Month, a month-long educational campaign designed to educate and empower women to make healthy changes that make a difference in pregnancy and parenting.

Earlier I wrote about how I stared blankly at my husband when he asked me what I wanted for Mother's Day this year. I find it incredibly difficult to offer gift suggestions to my husband. What I do know is that I like flowers, chocolate and shoes. Diamond Organics can help with at least two of those!
Diamond Organics, a company that provides certified organic... Read More »

Do you ever look at a recipe in a cookbook and think to yourself...how would I ever go about recreating that? I know I do...but I'm not the savviest when it comes to anything culinary. Bumble Bee Foods recently launched a series of webisodes featuring Chef Scott Leibfried. He has an impressive bio, including being featured on Hell's Kitchen and Kitchen Nightmare... Read More »

Last week I told you a little bit about Kleenex's new Hand Towels, "an innovative solution" that delivers one clean, fresh, dry towel every time you wash and dry your hands. In the past, I've always used a communal hand towel to dry my hands (although I refuse to do this when I'm at an unfamiliar place). And I guess that's ok...if no one in the house is sick. Bu...

That is the question Miraclebody is asking women across the country. Off the top of my head, I can think of several. My mom...my best friend...the woman that "shaped" me into the daughter, wife, mother, and woman I am today. My very best friend Amy...who inspires and motivates me to dream big.
In honor of all of the women who do amazing things, Miraclebody is s... Read More »

From about the age of 7 or 8, I started wearing glasses. I am nearsighted (which means I have difficulty with distance vision). I wear contacts, so most people don't even know this. But, with all of the reading, typing, texting, television viewing, and charting (electronic medical records at work) I do, I'm obviously concerned about protecting and preserving my ... Read More »

I remember the first time I walked into an REI store. It was 2006 and my husband and I were preparing to leave for our year long stay in Europe. I thought to myself...Why have I never been in this store? REI is THE store for everything outdoors. The company offers quality outdoor gear and clothing for men, women, and children. I really like the company's commi... Read More »

It turns out that there was much that we could do to make our home safer for our kids. Kimberlee offered a wealth of safety in... Read More »

As the mom of a little girl, I'm always looking for adorable outfits and dresses. It's rare that I shop for myself these days (with much of the baby weight still hanging on). Besides, it's much more fun to shop for my kiddos!
When I shop for my children, I try to buy things on sale because I know they'll grow out of them quickly. Thanks to Double Duty Divas, ... Read More »

"I want a snnnaaaccckkk!" I can't tell you how many times my toddler says that in one day! And finding something healthy (that he'll eat) is always a challenge. I recently wrote about the types of food we eat and how we grocery shop. Because we avoid things like high fructose corn syrup, hydrogenated oils, and trans fats, we're limited when it comes to package... Read More »
