Mineral Makeup 101: Whole Foods Mineral Fusio...
Published on Tuesday, July 7, 2009 by caryn I'm not a vain woman, but I like to look nice. Before children, you'd never find me in public without my hair straightened (and of course highlighted and layered), perfectly groomed eyebrows (and legs for that matter), the latest fashion threads, and a perfectly made up face. I remember when my husband and I were dating...I vowed to never "let myself go." H... Read More » -

Ecousable
Published on Sunday, July 5, 2009 by caryn My husband and I strive to make our home as healthy and eco-friendly as possible, particularly because we have a little boy and one on the way. One of the things we do is avoid buying bottled water. I can't say that we've eliminated plastic water bottles completely, but for the most part, we use a PUR Water Pitcher when we're at home. We also try to use a re... Read More » -

Be Hold…The Belly Band!
Published on Monday, June 8, 2009 by caryn Apart from the fact that I feel like I'm on a ship all the time and I can't get enough sleep, I don't have a lot of other pregnancy discomforts (not to discount the ones I do have, which have pretty much rendered me less than effective!). It's too early to feel the baby move, and the five pounds I've gained (yes, despite the fact that I've been so sick!) make me... Read More » -

Bake and Learn With Zebra Mix Baking Mixes
Published on Monday, May 25, 2009 by caryn I love to bake. I grew up baking with my mom and an easy bake oven. Children have this affinity for "grown-up" activities like cleaning, baking, and wearing mommy's shoes! My son is already showing interest in "helping" mommy out in the kitchen! We all know that children like snacks! As hard as I've tried to keep my son far away from cookies and cake...it's ... Read More » -

It's just one of the many things that drew us together. While we have a lot of commonality in our music tastes and interests, we also have our diverse likes and dislikes. My husband has his o...

Because I despise love being in the kitchen so much, I'm always looking for gadgets that make food preparation and cooking easier. There is a fabulous little company called Fusionbrands, specializing in pro... Read More » -

Plum Organics Tots
Published on Tuesday, May 19, 2009 by caryn I've always strived to serve healthy meals and snacks in our household. We regularly purchase organic foods to ensure that our entire family consumes foods in their purest and most natural form. When my son was a baby, I tried to make his baby food. Realistically, I did not (and don't) have the time for elaborate, homemade baby food so I opted for a brand that was... Read More » -

nubar…The Healthy Alternative for Nail ...
Published on Thursday, March 5, 2009 by caryn It's time for yet another fun, pampering review just for you moms! BC (before children), I got a manicure every two weeks, minimum. I LOVE having perfectly groomed fingers and toes. But mostly I love the splash of color that makes my fingernails stand out. What I don't love is the harsh smell that accompanies nail polish! I don't know about you, but the ga... Read More » -

(Miss) Oops I Did It Again!
Published on Tuesday, March 3, 2009 by caryn I was talking to another mom from my son's playgroup about how clumsy I've become since having my son. This, of course, was right after I spilled frozen yogurt on my shirt. On any given day of the week, you'll find some evidence of my toddler on my clothing...juice, milk, paint, markers, dirt...the list goes on and on. There is a fabulous company called Mi...

Let Me Tell You ‘Bout Burt’s Bees...
Published on Tuesday, March 3, 2009 by caryn Do you know what I absolutely love reviewing? Beauty and skin care products! As a mom, it's not as easy to find the time or justify the expense of products for me. When I married my husband, I vowed to continue to make myself look nice every day and not "slack off." Having a child makes this a little more difficult (one day I'll give you some tips about how to... Read More » -

Remi-D
Published on Friday, February 27, 2009 by caryn I'm a mom and a neonatal intensive care nurse which means I can be pretty paranoid about germs. Our entire household has finally gotten over weeks of being sick (we just kept giving it to each other over and over again) but cold and flu season is not over yet. I carry hand sanitizer and wipes with me everywhere (they're in my purse, the diaper bag, the car) in... Read More »
