Rockin’ Gift Idea For Foodies: Hickory ...
Published on Sunday, December 11, 2011 by caryn I love the creativity and diversity offered in gift baskets, and often gift them when I haven't received specific ideas from the recipient. As an only child, I spent each shopping season perusing our local malls for gift ideas with my mother. Without fail, we'd always end up in the seasonal Hickory Farms store location that opened each year for the holidays. Hi... Read More » -

My Innovative Laundry Regimen
Published on Monday, November 21, 2011 by caryn In the past, my appliance research and shopping efforts were focused on efficiency, functionality and cost. After 2 months with Whirlpool's Laundry Duet Pair, I've come to appreciate the importance and usefulness of investing in appliances that incorporate innovation and technology. I'll be completely honest...I don't know that I would have sought out machines wi... Read More » -

Multitasking Phone Systems for Busy Moms
Published on Monday, November 21, 2011 by caryn In our highly technical world of email exchanges, text messages, Skype, and various social media channels, I still prefer the traditional phone conversation in most instances. I could spend hours talking to friends and family members and find it to be the most personable way to interact. At this stage of my life, I don't have endless hours to talk to friends and fam...

My Smarter Laundry Regimen
Published on Wednesday, November 2, 2011 by caryn It seems relatively easy. Sort. Wash. Dry. Fold. Put Away. Does that sound like your laundry regimen? There are weeks when there is so much laundry, I go into auto-pilot just to get it all done. Like this week when my husband came home from weeks of traveling and I had 6 loads to do in one day. Talk about giving my washer and dryer a workout! For th... Read More » -

My Practically Effortless Laundry Regimen
Published on Monday, September 19, 2011 by caryn Up until a few weeks ago, I didn't really have a laundry regimen. We have a white basket that sits outside of our bedroom door and most of the time, all our clothing makes it's way in there. Laundry is one of those chores that I don't despise, but don't particularly enjoy. But if I did not do the laundry, it would not get done. My husband is such that I'll start... Read More » -

Tips on Hosting the Perfect Playdate
Published on Wednesday, September 7, 2011 by caryn Most of our playdates are spontaneous, informal get-togethers, often without much notice. Having children definitely gives meaning to the phrase "best laid plans," so we organize and schedule and hope for the best. I haven't spoken a lot about BlogHer because I'm organizing my thoughts and the content I gleaned into information I hope you'll find valuable. I'd mu... Read More » -

Coffee + Ice Cream = Bliss
Published on Wednesday, August 17, 2011 by caryn If you follow me on any social media platform, you might have noticed that I like to indulge in coffee. I've gotten really good about limiting my trips to Starbucks to just once or twice a week, since I could literally be there every day if I allowed myself. I was also recently introduced to Starbucks Natural Fusions which means I can make a lot of my favorite drinks ... Read More » -

Kitchen Fresh With Affresh
Published on Thursday, August 4, 2011 by caryn There are two specific areas of my house that always require the most cleaning...the kitchen and the bathroom. Not only are they the most heavily trafficked, they're also the areas most likely to accumulate dirt, odors, and germs. For the last few weeks, I've been using affresh cleaner's Dishwasher and Disposal Cleaner. The tablets, which are activated with wat... Read More » -

Neutrogena’s New Wet Skin Sunblock
Published on Sunday, June 5, 2011 by caryn This afternoon, my son and I had a wonderfully relaxing day together at the Hyatt Regency Huntington Beach Resort and Spa! We lounged and splashed and generally enjoyed one of the first warmer days of the season in Southern California. Our summers in Southern California tend to start out mild with several days of June gloom, and by July and August we're scorching... Read More » -

The Power of Probiotics
Published on Wednesday, March 2, 2011 by caryn Of late, I've written a lot about how we stay healthy during cold and flu season. Many of the moms in my social network agree that illness has hit hard this winter and ironically, this week we're all sick! Probiotics are a staple in our household, and everyone except my husband gets a daily dose of the immune supporting substance. Probiotic means "for life" and t... Read More » -

Veripur: Alcohol-Free, Sustained Protection A...
Published on Sunday, February 20, 2011 by caryn As a nurse and a mom, I have a wealth of experience with illness. This year, we've had our share of colds and other annoyances, but are thankful that we've managed to avoid the flu, particularly because neither of my children are candidates for the immunization. Of all my tips on staying healthy during cold and flu season, I still maintain that hand washing is the m... Read More » -

Inglesina’s New Avio Stroller
Published on Sunday, February 13, 2011 by caryn My husband and I have owned 3 strollers in the 3+ years since we've become parents. The first stroller we owned was a travel system. I chose the system primarily for the car seat which, at the time, was rated as the safest on the market. Unfortunately that meant settling for a mediocre stroller. When my son was a baby, I won a luxury stroller, retiring the for... Read More » -

Gaggle of Chicks
Published on Wednesday, December 22, 2010 by caryn In today's economy, most of us are not willing to pay full price for an item when deal and discount websites abound. I actually subscribe to quite a few sites because each has something different to offer. Whether it's an hour-long massage at a local spa or a toy my son has at the top of his wish list, discount sites offer unique, time-limited deals on popular produ... Read More » -

NESCAFÉ Dolce Gusto Coffee and Tea Drinks
Published on Friday, December 3, 2010 by caryn Yesterday, I told you about NESCAFÉ’s new modern single-serve coffee machines. But they're more than just a kitchen design accent. They actually make a really yummy cup of coffee! I've always been partial to freshly ground (as in from the bean), freshly brewed coffee. If I don't have time to make a cup, I'll spend the $3-$4 it costs at our local coffee sho... Read More » -

NESCAFÉ Dolce Gusto Circolo Machine
Published on Thursday, December 2, 2010 by caryn If you ask anyone close to me, they might say that I am addicted like coffee..a lot! But I'm picky when it comes to my coffee. I like lattes and mochas, particularly around this time of year when all of the coffee shops bring back their holiday drinks. All of those frou frou drinks can add up to a large monthly coffee bill! Which is why making coffee at home jus... Read More » -

Quick and Easy Homemade Baby Food
Published on Thursday, November 11, 2010 by caryn My daughter is right in the midst of exploring and expanding her palate. I adore this time when I get to introduce my daughter to the wonderful world of food (because who doesn't like to eat?!?!). If you've read some of my previous posts, you may remember that I failed miserably at making my son's baby food. I've actually had a lot more success making my daughte... Read More » -
