Home Decor Holiday Gift Idea: Wax Warmers fro...
Published on Thursday, December 8, 2011 by caryn In my childhood home, my parents made a big deal about decorating and prepping for the holidays.

Because my children are young, our decor accents are scaled down, although we still ensure our tree is lighted and decorated festively for the season. It's... Read More » -

War Horse Premieres in New York City
Published on Thursday, December 8, 2011 by caryn Somewhere during my teen years, our smallish family of three made it a tradition to see a movie on Christmas Day. We'd wake up early, grab breakfast (out, of course) and head to the theater for that film...that much anticipated holiday film of the season. This year, I expect War Horse to be that film. Unlike most red carpet premieres, traditionally held in Los ... Read More » -

Toddler Tech: Infantino HappiTaps Beary Happi
Published on Wednesday, December 7, 2011 by caryn When I first purchased my iPhone, I vowed not to let my children near it, for a variety of reasons, mostly though to keep them from breaking it.

I've since seen numerous shows both on Broadway and in London, and while both are renowned for t... Read More » -
