Published on Sunday, December 5, 2010 by caryn This giveaway is now closed. Thanks for stopping by. The winner is Allison Greene. Congrats! Did you know that something you likely have in your cabinet can kill most mold, bacteria, and germs? I've heard that vinegar (white distilled) is an effective cleaning agent. But to be honest, I haven't used it as much as I should. If you're wondering what you can use... Read More » -

Diamonds Are A Girl’s Best Friend
Published on Sunday, September 26, 2010 by caryn As a mom and a woman, I want to look beautiful. But it's rare for me to buy anything for myself these days, particularly something like jewelry. When I'm looking for something affordable, I typically shop at department stores. I've never thought to shop online for real jewelry.

Fashion Meets Comfort With Naturalizer Shoes
Published on Monday, June 28, 2010 by caryn Over the years, I've managed to collect a LOT of shoes. My husband is always trying to bribe convince me to get rid of some, but a girl can never have too many shoes. Before children, I chose style over comfort. I actually have several pairs of shoes that I can no longer wear safely, because of this reason. If you can believe it, I'm currently wearing the... Read More » -

Published on Monday, June 28, 2010 by caryn Every Sunday, before church, my parents and I would read the Sunday paper...together...as a family (odd isn't it?).

If you enjoy comics, do check out The Lunar Antics Presents: Boy, I'd Hate to Be Made Out of That Stuff. The book is a collection of newspaper-style ca... Read More » -

Sing Your Way To a Spanish-Speaking Kid
Published on Thursday, April 22, 2010 by caryn People always ask me where I'm from...my ethnic background. My married name is very American, but I have this "exotic" look about me (at least that's what my husband's family says!). While I'm 100% Puerto Rican, you wouldn't likely know it from speaking to me. My Spanish is limited to the three years I studied in high school and my very American accent. Somewh... Read More » -

Etsy Focus: BeautyName
Published on Monday, June 8, 2009 by caryn When I was a little girl, my mother gave me a gold necklace with my name on it. I still have that necklace, tucked away in my jewelry box for safekeeping since it was made for a child. While I love to wear jewlery, it's not often that I actually purchase pieces for myself. I prefer to leave that to my husband! I recently had an opportunity to review a necklac... Read More » -

Always Infinity
Published on Tuesday, May 12, 2009 by caryn As a nurse with almost nine years of experience in obstetric and neonatal nursing, I'm likely not surprised or shocked by much. It's actually pretty normal for me to have discussions with my friends and family that most people would not partake in. So if it comes as a shock to you that I'm discussing products related to "that time of the month," then I sincerely a... Read More » -

Mother’s Day 2009: Vinyl Silhouettes
Published on Sunday, May 3, 2009 by caryn Up until a few months ago, I had no idea that silhouettes were a unique, creative, memorable way to decorate. Just ask my friend and fellow blogger Linda...she's obsessed with them! We recently decorated my son's room but we still had one empty wall, right above his crib. Thanks to Vinyl Silhouettes, we have a lovely, artistic, custom head profile of my son in ... Read More »
