The Milton Hershey School…Changing Live...
Published on Friday, December 31, 2010 by caryn What do you think of when you hear the word Hershey? Chocolate, of course. But after my trip to Hershey, PA, I'll be thinking of more than just chocolate when I hear the word Hershey. One of my most memorable visits to the Sweetest Place on Earth was our cookie exchange with a group of boys and girls at the Milton Hershey School. For children who are in unfo... Read More » -

End of the Year Deals From Toys R Us
Published on Thursday, December 30, 2010 by caryn I actually prefer to shop at Toys R Us after the holidays, when the lines and crowds have died down. Over the weekend, we went to our local store to try to get some DVDs my son wanted that I had not been able to find. As we walked in, we were met with a ginormous clearance section. For a moment, I thought about changing the day we celebrate next year to the 27th... Read More » -

The Samsung Galaxy Tab
Published on Wednesday, December 29, 2010 by caryn Over the last year or so, my husband's techie side has seriously rubbed off on me. This year, I've added an e-reader and a smart phone to the list of devices I can no longer function without. And don't forget the laptop that accompanies most of my road and air trips.

TRON: Legacy
Published on Tuesday, December 28, 2010 by caryn Guest post by the rockin' hubby who thoroughly enjoyed the movie from the laser light show to the end credits. I have to admit, as a teen I was a bit of a nerd and enjoyed my fair share of science fiction. So, it was with both nostalgic joy and nerdistic glee that I went with the wife to see TRON: Legacy. She is admittedly less interested in the genre... knowing t... Read More » -

A Verry Merry Christmas To You!
Published on Saturday, December 25, 2010 by caryn After just five short hours of sleep, all four of us woke up so I could spend a few minutes with my family before heading off to work. Nursing is a 24 hour, seven day a week job, even on holidays. And while I would much rather have spent the day snuggled up on the couch with my two kidlets, I imagine that those families in the NICU would have rather spent the day ... Read More » -

Memory Making With Hallmark
Published on Thursday, December 23, 2010 by caryn My husband and I grew up in two very different homes 2,000 miles away from each other.

Whimsical, Timeless Childrenswear by Ralph La...
Published on Wednesday, December 22, 2010 by caryn One year ago, I could be found lying in a hospital bed, curled up with my baby girl. It's hard to believe that she's now an almost walking, babbling, bundle of joy. I dreamed of having a daughter as a little girl. Back then, I was preoccupied with the dresses and bows, rather than the actual responsibility of being a parent. While dressing my daughter up is just a... Read More » -
