Purchase For a Purpose…Box Tops for Edu...
Published on Saturday, January 2, 2010 by caryn Earlier this year my son started preschool a few mornings a week. Mostly it was to get him involved socially rather than pushing him academically (he's only 2 1/2).

Published on Sunday, December 27, 2009 by caryn I know absolutely nothing about my car, other than how to drive it!

Holiday Shopping at Shop.com
Published on Friday, December 5, 2008 by caryn 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...
