I have to admit that I LOVE to shop! Now that my son is a toddler it isn't so easy to take him to the mall. He'd much rather go to the park and play! Gone are the days of leisurely browsing for that perfect gift at just the right price. We were in Nashville over the weekend and it was the first time I had stepped inside a mall in months! Between the crazines... Read More »

Sometimes I feel like I spend so much time doing laundry. Sorting, washing, folding, and putting away clothes for three people, can be very time consuming. There are times when I will wear jeans a few times before washing them if they’re not dirty.
I am always looking for ways to reduce my carbon footprint, and thanks to the Refresh‘n Dryer Towel, I can fre... Read More »

Christmas is my favorite holiday. Now that we're in our own home, I can finally get excited about decorating! I'm dreaming of a real Christmas tree, but with a toddler in the house I'm not sure that is a good idea. So while I won't be smelling the fresh, evergreen scent of a live Christmas tree, I'm hoping some of that lovely smell wafts in through my front door... Read More »

This week is all about cleaning and I have another fabulous product that has been helping me ready our home for guests in a couple of weeks. Now if there is one thing I can't stand, it's a dirty, dusty, crumb-filled floor! I recently had the opportunity to test out the DirtTamer Supreme V2400. I've never had a hand vacuum and had no idea what to expect. What I... Read More »

My husband absolutely insists on having a clean house. I, on the other hand, am not as keen on the actual process of cleaning. Somebody has to do it (i.e. ME!) and cleaning is always so much better when you have the right equipment (isn't that true in life?).
This holiday season I'm so proud to be able to open our very own home for the first time to friends ... Read More »

I have always thought highly of HP and it's products. I most recently had the privilege of working with them on a prior review campaign and this week I'd like to tell you about a very special project that confirms once again the type of company HP is.

This week we'll be traveling to the south for Thanksgiving! Traveling with a child can actually be quite stressful if you're not armed with the proper equipment. And I'm not talking about clothes, food, and diapers. When you're stuck on a plane with limited mobility and breathing room, it's important to get creative because children just get bored.

Children just love pets. Every time my son sees a furry canine he chimes "dog, dog,dog..." What do you do when your child asks for a pet that he/she obviously cannot take care of independently? How do you begin to sow the seeds of pet ownership and responsibility within your child?
This Christmas, why not explore The Littlest Pet Shop's new fall line of m... Read More »

In a couple of days my husband, son, and I will be heading south for the winter...well...just for Thanksgiving. We used to make this trip at least twice a year but with the increase in flight costs and a toddler who isn't easy to tote, the trips have become few and far between. Unfortunately, that means Jason's parents don't see as much of us or my son and they wo... Read More »
