Tucker starts Junior Kindergarten on Tuesday. He is so excited! I am sad to see my baby go off to school, but excited to see him start this path in his life. Some have asked me what Junior Kindergarten is; so I wanted to explain what it is with this post. Tucker had been in [...]
How do you recycle? Some of you may remember me from BlogHer 2009 in Chicago, IL. Last year, I drove from my home to Chicago, Illinois in my minivan. Why? Well, it was cost justifiable for the location, as well as I love Chicago, so I decided to take it upon myself to work with [...]

Be [...]
Time for pencils. Time for books. Time to choose backpacks to complete back-to-school looks. With summer in full swing, many parents are done planning vacations and beginning to select items they need to send their kids back-to-school. To help parents prepare their kids for the classroom, Toys“R”Us stores nationwide and Toysrus.com will offer incredible deals [...]
With hubby and Tucker about to be going back to school, we are already in that ‘Back to School’ mode. Most people may think about Back to School with things like backpacks, crayons, khaki pants, lunch box and those busy school schedules. Well, school items go much deeper than just papers and zippered backpacks for [...]
When it comes to kids clothing, I like to buy things that not everyone out there has. I don’t want to send my child to school in the same outfit that every other child has. Recently, I saw a company online that their clothing and their entire style really sparked my interest: Bit’z Kids NYC. [...]
This fall, Tucker will be starting Junior Kindergarten. He is so excited, and I have to admit that I am too. He is starting Junior Kindergarten based on his birth date, and then next year, he will go to Kindergarten. We have already started with all the school doctor check up’s, exams and even back [...]
This Fall, Tucker is going to Junior Kindergarten. He is so excited! I am so excited for him! He loves school and I love the interaction that he gets from his friends, classmates and teachers. This Summer, we will be going back to school shopping for those needed school supplies such as clothes, shoes, backpack, [...]
We are huge Stride rite and Robeez fans. When both of the kids were babies and just starting to walk, the only shoes that I trusted their feet in were Robeez. Kambry still wears Robeez and Tucker loves his Stride rite shoes. Why? They are cool! (As he says). Yes, Stride rite are ‘cool’, but [...]
UMI Shoes had our family at Hello with their adorable styles and wide variety of shoes, sandals and kids’ boots. Tucker started back to school a couple of weeks ago and he was very excited to sport his Grissom shoes in chocolate and amber. I love these because they are easy to dress up with [...]
I cannot tell you how many wipes we go through in our house, and on the go. We are always traveling with a wipe or some type of antibacterial. When we go to the grocery store, I wipe down the cart. When we go anywhere, we wipe down things. I have a very weak immune [...]
Back to school is in full session and fall is right around the corner. Where does the time go? This fall, Fisher-Price is a great option to dress your kids up in. I love the quality that their clothes are, the styles are trendy and the prices are very affordable. This school season, Kmart is [...]
Our kids grow way too fast. No doubt about that! When you buy kids shoes, what do you normally got for first? A lot of people may buy based strictly on price. I used to be this person, until I noticed some issues with the kids feet and how they were walking and running. Well, [...]
I have always been a huge fan of pens. Yes, I am 33, but I still love fun pens! I have found what I think is the cutest and the most fun pens for anyone of any age: Happi-Go Lucky-Pens from Jakks Pacific. Happi Go Luckies™ Pens Happi-Go Lucky-Pens are fun collectible character pens that [...]
Having kids and a hubby in the house, we always have messes. No doubt about that! I also have a germ phobia, so when we are cleaning up, I like knowing that I can clean up AND disinfect germs. Since school is back in full force, I am just waiting on the day where Tucker [...]
With back to school, I want my kids to be comfortable, look good, feel good and I don’t want to spend a lot of money. Someone had recommended Children’s Place several years back, but my first thought was ‘They are too expensive’. I don’t know why I thought that because they have just about the [...]
Do you have a college student that is going back to school or a new student that it’s her first year of college? I can only imagine how tiny and cold those dorm rooms can get in the winter! Why not send them back to school with the Sunbeam Bedding Fleece Warming Throw? I have [...]
It seems like the kids were just getting out of school and here it is, back to school season – already! If there’s one thing that the kids love, its books! Candlwick Press has so many books, for just about anyone! One book that we recieved was Maisy Goes to School. The kids love this [...]
Tucker just started back to preschool this week. It is so neat seeing all the new things he is already learning and the crafts that the kids make. Elmer’s has been a classroom and a favorite in our home for years! If the product wasn’t great enough, I am very happy to learn about a [...]
Tucker starts back to preschool on Monday. Monday?! Where is the time going? I swear – he was just born, right? Well, while he is at his fun field trips, I want him to be secure and to have my information at all times. Mabels Labels has a perfect product to help us parents feel [...]
Last month, just before BlogHer, I had a once in a lifetime opportunity to visit the Sara Lee headquarters, take a tour of the entire facility and taste some yummy new things that Sara Lee had in the workings. I loved them before the summit, but I adore them even more as a company! While [...]
“Mommy, I’m hungry!” Does this sound familiar? Not at all times do I have the energy to whip up a snack for the kids and to be honest, fast food is not very appealing to me as a parent. I want my kids to have a tasty snack that is better for them than some [...]
When do your kids head back to school? Some here started last week and for my son, he starts back on the 31st. It’s crazy how fast our summer went by us, isn’t it? While we are all looking for great deals on back to school clothes, don’t forget about the fabulous selection and prices [...]
In the past few months, I have done quite a bit of traveling for my blog for conferences and blog summits. I have been getting a lot of business cards from fellow bloggers, and that is great, but what if there was a quick way to connect with the people that you meet? I have [...]
What if I told you that you CAN send your kids back to school for far less than you would think? I am talking about getting your child an entire week’s worth of outfits for $50, or less? Well, I recently took the challenge to see if this was true and guess what? We got [...]
Sippy cups + spills = messes Right? I know that you aren’t really ‘supposed’ to let your kids run around with sippy cups around the house. Why? Well, from my experience, sippies lead to spills and the joy of finding a cup filled with lumpy milk (uh. Gross!). Can you tell this is a regular [...]
In July, I had a wonderful experience to attend a Design Summit in Chicago hosted by Sears & Kmart. With graduates preparing to go back to college, or maybe it is their first year in college, you can help them out by creating their fabulous dorm room under $500.00. What? UNDER $500.00? You bet! With [...]
As we get ready for back to school, we start thinking about what we need to get. Not only do we need to think about our kids that are going back to school, we also need to think about the older ones that may be starting their first year of college, or how about those [...]
Tucker starts preschool on the 24th – quickly approaching us! While most of our kids are getting ready for Back to School, our budgets are definitely in mind when it comes to getting this years’ clothes bought. I can clearly remember going back to school shopping when I was a kid. Grandma gave us a [...]
Bto school needs at Office Max. Last week, I attended a “Get Organized for Back-to-School” blogcast with Office Max and Peter Walsh. I consider myself to be a pretty organized person, but it was so neat to hear some of Peter Walsh’s tips and thoughts on getting and staying organized; not only from a parents [...]
Summer is jetting past us, isn’t it? I am sad to see it go, yet so eager to get back in the routine of the school year. Tucker is in preschool and he has been so excited to see his teacher and all his friends. With back to school in the air, comes school needed [...]
As you may have read, I had a very busy last couple of weeks. Right before BlogHer, I attended a fabulous Sara Lee Summit, then a couple of days after BlogHer, I flew to Boston to attend a TJMaxx & Marshalls Summit. After BlogHer, I had a day and a half ‘layover’ in Chicago. [...]
Back to school is in the air. Can you believe it? Already?! Tucker is going on his second year of preschool and getting to be such a big boy! He loves to help in the kitchen, so what is a better way to keep his clothes clean from messes than the Bumkins Waterproof Apron? Made [...]
