Published on Monday, September 19, 2011 by caryn We're knee-deep in the school season and as expected, many families are working through new schedules, after school activities, and homework. But some families, have their thoughts and efforts focused on a different issue...an issue many of us probably don't think about. 17 million. That is the number of children at risk of hunger in the US according to the USDA.... Read More » -

Could Your Child’s Classroom Use a Make...
Published on Tuesday, September 13, 2011 by caryn My oldest started pre-k last week and we're fortunate that he has been able to attend a private school. But next year, he'll likely go to a public school as we're currently evaluating all of our options. With the economy in turmoil, many public schools are finding that they're lacking even the basics when it comes to supplies. I've heard many parents talk about ... Read More » -

On Trend: Sears’ Fall Fashions
Published on Sunday, September 11, 2011 by caryn When I was a single, 20-something year old, you'd often find me at the mall...or the outlets...shopping for the latest in fashion trends. While I wasn't extravagant, it wasn't uncommon for me to purchase an outfit or two every month. I can't honestly remember the last time I took a dedicated shopping trip just for myself. Sure, I've purchased items here or there whe... Read More » -

Back To School Shopping Challenge + Tips On S...
Published on Friday, September 9, 2011 by caryn Pre-K...I can't believe my son started Pre-K this week. While it's definitely going to be an adjustment for all of us, our hope is that this year will ready our son for the discipline of Kindergarten. While there is no homework (yet), we are striving to establish a schedule and work on being on time. We're working on things like learning to write and sitting still... Read More » -

Rockin’ Back to School With Tea Collect...
Published on Wednesday, August 31, 2011 by caryn I enjoy shopping for my children, even more than I enjoy shopping for myself.

Published on Monday, August 29, 2011 by caryn It seems like just a few months ago, I was cleaning out both of my children's drawers, bagging those outfits that no longer fit them to donate to our local Salvation Army. Today I put a shirt on my son that I had just bought not too long ago, only to find that either it shrunk in the wash, or he's outgrown it. With back to school season here, we're sorting throug...

Rockin’ Back to School With Crayola
Published on Sunday, August 28, 2011 by caryn I love when my daughter runs up to me with a piece of paper in her hand, motioning for me to get her the box of crayons stored on our bookshelf. Both of my children enjoy coloring, but my husband and I agree that our daughter is the artistic, creative one. We wouldn't be surprised if she took it up as a hobby as she gets older because she colors much more than my ... Read More » -

With the school-year on the horizon, it's time for parents and children to begin thinking about preparing lunches.

Rockin’ Back to School with Totsy!
Published on Thursday, August 18, 2011 by caryn A couple of weeks ago, I was helping my son get dressed and noticed one of his shirts was short. I've never been perfect with the laundry, but I was pretty certain I hadn't shrunk anything, particularly because this was a new shirt. Later that week, his teacher commented that she thought he had a growth spurt. Children grow so quickly! If you're shopping for th... Read More » -

Rockin’ Back To School With Box Tops
Published on Saturday, August 13, 2011 by caryn In just one year, our lives will be very different. Our son will be entering kindergarten and we're already mentally preparing ourselves for the change. There will be early mornings, tighter schedules, homework (it starts early these days), and expenses. But our hope is that once our little boy begins school, he'll love it which means we'll love it. We desire to mak... Read More » -

Backpack, Backpack…Affordable Back to S...
Published on Monday, August 8, 2011 by caryn It goes without saying that investing in a child's education reaps innumerable long-term rewards. However, with nationwide budget cuts, it seems like parents are having to purchase more items. When you combine that with necessary uniforms, shoes, or other apparel, the costs can add up. This season, you don't have to break the bank shopping for much needed clothi... Read More » -

R & R at The Huntington Spa
Published on Tuesday, October 5, 2010 by caryn I remember when I could pop in to see my makeup artist for an eyebrow shaping or to my local salon for a mani/pedi on a whim. These days, I struggle to find the time and resources (i.e. babysitting) to pamper myself. Everything must be planned and scheduled. In the busyness of back to school and the holidays, it's important to schedule a little time for rejuven... Read More » -
