Holiday Gift Guide 2009: LinenKids
Published on Saturday, December 19, 2009 by Caryn Bailey Boutiques are one of my favorite kinds of stores to shop in. Unfortunately, I haven't had a lot of opportunities to frequent the ones in my area, as I get closer and closer to my due date. What's great about boutiques is that they offer unique items, you often can't find in other stores. But that also means that sometimes you'll see something you like, and it wo... Read More » -

Holiday Gift Guide 2009: Peet’s Coffee...
Published on Saturday, December 19, 2009 by Caryn Bailey One of my favorite local coffee venues is Peet's Coffee. I am an avid coffee drinker and I've found that no two coffee venues are the same. Some offer stronger, richer blends while others specialize in what I like to call "fru fru" drinks. Still others offer premium and custom blends and roasts. I am particularly fond of Peet's holiday drink offerings, specifi... Read More » -

Holiday Gift Guide 2009: The Snowman’s...
Published on Friday, December 18, 2009 by Caryn Bailey There is not enough darkness in the world to extinguish the light of one small candle. Spanish proverb I think children's books are probably one of the best, most affordable gifts you could give a child. My son loves to read with me because it's something we've done together since he was a baby. Naptime and bedtime routines are incomplete without our story tim... Read More » -

Holiday Gift Guide 2009: Fashion Playtes
Published on Friday, December 18, 2009 by Caryn Bailey This is the LAST weekend to shop before Christmas (I'm not stressed at all...ha!). I've been known to wait until Christmas Eve to do some shopping so I'm actually feeling pretty good about what's already been done. This weekend I have some LAST minute gift ideas to share with you. And, I will be posting and closing more giveaways. If you have a little girl ... Read More » -

Holiday Gift Guide 2009: Rocketfish Mobility...
Published on Friday, December 18, 2009 by Caryn Bailey My husband (the techie) travels a ton for work. His job involves a ton of computer time so he's always toting his laptop to and from work and business trips. We've already had to get his laptop fixed because of some "damage" our little boy did to it, so a protective case is a must. If you're looking for computer accessories, Rocketfish has a large selection,... Read More » -

Published on Monday, December 14, 2009 by Caryn Bailey I can't believe that Christmas is almost here! Ten days and counting. Are you ready? We don't even have our tree up yet (that's first on my hubby's to-do list this week). And shopping? I'm about half-way done! If you can believe it, I actually find children to be the most difficult to shop for...especially when the children are not my children. Some pare... Read More » -

Holiday Gift Guide 2009: Hershey’s
Published on Monday, December 14, 2009 by Caryn Bailey The combination of the holidays and pregnancy hormones seem to put me in the baking mood. My husband knows that I don't need a whole lot of excuses to bake. For years I've been making thumbprint cookies with Hershey's Kisses for Christmas. It's a tradition and they're so easy to make. Plus, I like every excuse to eat chocolate! During the holiday season,... Read More » -

Holiday Gift Guide 2009: Hallmark Recordable...
Published on Monday, December 14, 2009 by Caryn Bailey Last week we finally mailed out our Christmas cards! I have to admit that I'm not usually so organized, often waiting until the very last minute (as in the week of Christmas) to send them out. For a majority of our friends and family, we send out a somewhat generic Christmas card with a picture of our family and a standard greeting. However, when it comes to par... Read More » -

Holiday Gift Guide 2009: Me4Kidz Medibuddy
Published on Monday, December 14, 2009 by Caryn Bailey I have a little boy who loves to run, climb, ride his scooter and a myriad of other physical activities...many of which have the potential to result in injury. I used to be paranoid of every scrape, bump, and bruise. Now that he's older, I worry a little less about the minor boo-boos, but a mother never stops worrying about her children (especially this mom who ju... Read More » -

Holiday Gift Guide 2009: Godiva Coffee
Published on Sunday, December 13, 2009 by Caryn Bailey Chocolate and coffee. Two of my favorite foods to indulge on. They're also two food items most people enjoy receiving. I've given and received both (contentedly) year after year. I'm a fru-fru coffee drinker and particularly enjoy lattes, mochas, and ice-blended drinks. I like rich coffee and can usually tell how it's going to taste by the way it smells. ... Read More » -

Holiday Gift Guide 2009: Successories DYI
Published on Sunday, December 13, 2009 by Caryn Bailey Christmas is not a time nor a season, but a state of mind. To cherish peace and goodwill, to be plenteous in mercy, is to have the real spirit of Christmas Calvin Coolidge I keep a memory of all the places I've traveled to by way of postcards, photographs I've taken, and prints I've purchased along the way. If you were to step into our home, you'd see pi... Read More » -

Holiday Gift Guide 2009: simplehuman
Published on Saturday, December 12, 2009 by Caryn Bailey Simple. Modern. Earth Tones. Eco-Friendly. These are the four adjectives I would use to describe our taste in home decor. We don't have a lot of stuff (i.e. knick knacks) because we like to keep things simple. We also have a toddler and a baby on the way, so breakables and things that require dusting don't fit well with our lifestyle. In October, I had an o... Read More » -

Holiday Gift Guide 2009: Yubo
Published on Friday, December 11, 2009 by Caryn Bailey As a mom who is concerned about the environment my children are growing up in, I routinely evaluate what we're doing to reduce our carbon footprint. I am proud to say that with the help of my husband, our recycle bin is always full each and every week. And we pay close attention to the ingredients and packaging of the products we purchase. Right now, my son att... Read More » -

Published on Wednesday, December 9, 2009 by Caryn Bailey This giveaway is now closed. Congrats to Dawn! As much as I complain about being in the kitchen, I actually only struggle with the "cooking" part of it all. I enjoy baking and absolutely adore kitchen gadgets. Some of the items I'd love to own include an espresso maker, an ice cream maker, and a waffle maker. It's amazing how you can practically find a gadget... Read More » -

Published on Tuesday, December 8, 2009 by Caryn Bailey This giveaway is now closed. Congrats to Whitney! It's funny to watch my son go through character phases. There was a time when he just adored Sesame Street...then it was Thomas and The Wonder Pets. Earlier this year I purchased annual Disneyland passes and took my son almost weekly until I couldn't do it any longer. He has grown rather fond of many of the Pl... Read More »
