Published on Monday, August 30, 2010 by caryn This giveaway is now closed. Thanks for stopping by. The winner is Martina. Congrats! I find it interesting that I spend quite a bit of time researching and shopping for outerwear and nearly no time whatsoever on what I wear underneath.

How Flowers Can Transform Your Cake (Part 1)
Published on Monday, August 30, 2010 by caryn I always look at store-bought cakes with their intricate designs and wonder how much training and practice it takes to achieve such artistry. Last month, we celebrated my son's third birthday, and I set out to make and decorate his cake for the first time. Given the fact that it was my first second attempt at cake decorating, and I had to ensure all of the ingredi... Read More » -

Summer of Toys: Moon Dough
Published on Sunday, August 29, 2010 by caryn On those days, when we're not out at Disneyland or splashing in our community pool, I try to offer my son diverse learning and play experiences. Apart from coloring, baking, and pretend play, my son really enjoys play dough. Conventional dough dries out when left out and can get stuck in carpets and such. Thanks to Team Mom, we had an opportunity to check out M... Read More » -

How to Choose a Baby Photographer
Published on Friday, August 27, 2010 by caryn Up until a few weeks ago, my husband and I left our child's photos to the pros at our local department store. We never really bothered to browse local photographers although in retrospect, we should have. Photography is very personal, and finding that person who will capture you story can be challenging. Babyphotographers.com is an online resource which helps p... Read More » -

Back to School With Lands’ End
Published on Friday, August 27, 2010 by caryn I dreaded wearing that navy skirt, white shirt, and black and white saddle shoes as an elementary school child. And yet, as a mom, I actually like the idea of not having to worry much about my childrens' school attire. If your child attends a school that mandates uniforms, check out Lands' End's Back to School sale where you can save 30% on school uniforms and up t... Read More » -

Back to School With Marshalls & T.J. Max...
Published on Wednesday, August 25, 2010 by caryn I try very hard not to pay full price for most things. I research and price compare, use coupons and shop off price retailers. If you're not familiar with off price retailers, let me fill you in! At sister stores Marshalls, T.J. Maxx, and A. J. Wright, you'll find much of the same merchandise you'd find in conventional retailers for a fraction of the price. S... Read More » -

The Juice On the OC Foodie Fest
Published on Wednesday, August 25, 2010 by caryn My husband and I are total foodies. Very often we'll opt for ethnic cuisine when we go out because it's not something we cook at home on a regular basis. It seems a bit ironic to use "foodie" in the same sentence as "food truck." But this Saturday, the OC Foodie Fest is bringing 50 of the most popular, creative and unique food trucks to Southern California. Whe... Read More » -

The Daily D (eal)
Published on Wednesday, August 25, 2010 by caryn I may not be Consumer Queen, but the hubby says that I "rock" at scoring great deals. I try not to buy anything that's not on sale, use coupons whenever possible (including online coupons), and do a ton of research before making purchases. I was recently introduced to Daily D, a site that hand-picks the best local merchants to provide you with significant discount... Read More » -

Back to School With SIGG
Published on Wednesday, August 25, 2010 by caryn Earlier this morning, I participated in a web chat with Michelle Conlin and several "green" bloggers to discuss her film project entitled No Impact Man. I have an entire post dedicated to the project, but it definitely had me thinking about what MORE I can do to reduce my carbon footprint. It seems simple enough... forgo BPA-laden plastic and opt for reusable bot... Read More » -

The Juice On Walking With Dinosaurs
Published on Tuesday, August 24, 2010 by caryn Last week, my 3 year old son and I had a heart-to-heart...it went something like this. Me: Do you remember when we went to the museum in New York City and saw the dinosaurs? Toddler: Yeah... Me: Were you scared of the dinosaurs? Toddler: Um...yeah... I then proceed to show him this clip. Toddler: I'm not gonna be scared of the dinosaurs. The D... Read More » -

Published on Tuesday, August 24, 2010 by caryn While we were in New York, I decided to schedule some early morning meetings with some of the PR representatives I've worked with over the past three years. One of days, I headed over to The Sak Brand Group Showroom (which just so happens to be right across the street from the Empire State Building) for their Spring 2011 Preview. The Sak Brand Group is one of t... Read More » -

KidTrip: American Museum of Natural History
Published on Tuesday, August 24, 2010 by caryn We've been back nearly a week and I have so much to write about our trip to New York. I am such a city girl and coming home was bittersweet. I absolutely loved being able to walk to Times Square from the apartment we rented. But lugging the double stroller up and down the stairs to the Subway...not so much. One of our "must see" activities was visiting the Am... Read More » -

Published on Monday, August 23, 2010 by caryn This giveaway is now closed. Thanks for stopping by. The winner is Kerrie M. Congrats! I'm a chocoholic. It's rare that I can go a day without eating chocolate in some form (which is why I keep a stash of chocolate chips in the fridge at all times). If you can believe it, there is a healthy, guilt-free way to indulge in chocolate (and caramel) with Oikos' new P... Read More » -

Locks Much Smarter Than I Am *Giveaway*
Published on Saturday, August 21, 2010 by caryn This giveaway is now closed. Thanks for stopping by. The winner is Vickie C. Congrats! My husband grew up in a small town in the Southeast where everyone knew each other and nobody locked their doors. On the contrary, I grew up in a city where you wouldn't even think about not locking your doors and a large majority of the residents had home security systems. ... Read More » -

Modern Baby Product Guide: mOmma
Published on Thursday, August 19, 2010 by caryn When I was pregnant with my son, I struggled to find more than one or two companies offering BPA-free bottles and feeding products. It's been three years, and I don't think I could find a BPA-containing feeding product at Target if I wanted to (which is a good thing). The challenge is now to decide which bottle, sippy cup, feeding set is most fitting for our child... Read More » -

Christmas In August *Giveaway*
Published on Wednesday, August 18, 2010 by caryn This giveaway is now closed. Thanks for stopping by. The winners are Paul A (Radio City) and JW (Madison Square Garden). Congrats! I had my list of must sees and dos in New York. I also factored in that we would only do about half of what we aspired to because of the kids. So what's a girl to do when she gets invited to tour Radio City Music Hall and see the ... Read More » -

Summer DVD Releases
Published on Wednesday, August 18, 2010 by caryn I think it's been weeks since my husband and I have watched a movie...particularly one that isn't animated! Since we don't get a lot of opportunities to go out to the movies, we rely on DVD and Netflix to catch up on the latest releases. On August 24th, Image Entertainment will release $5 A Day on Blu-Ray ($29.98) and DVD ($27.98). With an all-star cast line up... Read More » -
