The Hub Debuts Transformers Rescue Bots
Published on Monday, February 20, 2012 by caryn Over the weekend, we spent some time at Toys R Us perusing thousands of toys in search of the perfect one (at least for the moment). Both sets of grandparents pitched in to allow my children to pick out a Valentine's Day "treat" and since we'd prefer that the "treat" not be something sugar-aden, we agreed that each of them could pick out something within the confine...

Earth Footwear…Shoes That Look As Good ...
Published on Monday, February 20, 2012 by caryn A girl can never have too many shoes...especially if those shoes are stylish and versatile enough to be worn over multiple seasons. They are my favorite accessory, and while I don't think I could have too many shoes, my husband is a bit more practical. Fortunately, our seasons are mild enough that I don't require an entire winter-dedicated wardrobe with the shoes to... Read More » -

Published on Thursday, February 16, 2012 by caryn It's a genre of film I'm unfamiliar with...a rarity for a film buff who's watched hundreds thousands of films. Anime (aka Japanese animation), originated in the early 20th century and surprisingly, Disney's Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs had some influence on Japanese animators and their work. This Friday, February 17th, Walt Disney Pictures will release The S... Read More » -

Winter Warm Up With Lands’ End
Published on Wednesday, February 15, 2012 by caryn It's a chilly 50 degrees here in rainy Southern California, reminding me that we're still right in the midst of winter. Despite my longing to lounge around in PJs and drink hot tea all day, things have to get done...things that involve going out...in the rain! Because our weather is so temperate, I don't really have a lot of winter wardrobe options. On days lik... Read More » -

Published on Wednesday, February 15, 2012 by caryn I freely admit that I am looking forward to that glorious day when I toss the very last diaper from this house! It's not that I don't enjoy having babies. In fact, I'm seriously going to miss the baby stage...just not the diaper part of that stage! One of our biggest expenses is diapers, wipes, creams, and other baby essentials. I cut coupons, comparison shop... Read More » -

Published on Tuesday, February 14, 2012 by caryn As a mom to two small children, I am very discerning about the media they are exposed to. Any television shows/series or films they watch have been pre-screened by either my husband or myself. As parents, we prefer to offer our children a variety of diverse experiences that help them learn about the world around them. Sometimes we judiciously utilize media on ... Read More » -

As we walked up and down Rodeo Drive, I admired the very expensive jewelry and thought about how long it had been since I received or purchased jewelry for myself.

Published on Thursday, February 9, 2012 by caryn I'm always surprised at how little time an actress like Bridgit Mendler spends recording for a full-length animated film like The Secret World of Arrietty (three days, according to the young actress), which opens in theaters on February 17th. Mendler, who stars in the Disney Channel Series Good Luck Charlie, voices Arrietty, a tiny but courageous and determined 14 y... Read More » -

I'm an avid comparison shopper and do a ton of research before investing in big purchases. I shop at multiple stores (for many reasons), peruse the ads before my shopping ventures, and clip coupons when it m... Read More » -
