Products I love, Reviews, Giveaways & everything in between!
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. [...]

Do you have a future rock star in your house? We do, but I can say that we are not about to rush out and buy our 5 year old a guitar. Think of the expense and I really doubt any 5 year old would be responsible enough to take care of such an expensive [...]
BlogHer is just around the corner and I am ready for it. I have taken on a fun and healthy challenge for BlogHer, but most of all – for myself: Healthy Choice Better for BlogHer Challenge. I am so excited to be one of only 20 bloggers chosen for this life changing opportunity! This challenge [...]
We love to grill out. I love the way the food tastes when we grill out and I love that my kitchen isn’t a huge mess when we are done cooking. As an original Texas girl, I love barbecue sauce on just about anything. I was given the chance to check out Bob Evans restaurants’ [...]
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 [...]
When Tucker was just before 3 years old, I bought him the original Leapster and I cannot tell you how much he has played, laughed and learned with this device! Last month, we received a top secret gaming system that my 5 year old is madly in love with; the new LeapFrog Leapster Explorer that [...]
We love to grill out any chance that we get, rain or shine. I was always told that if you have a truly good steak, you don’t need a dipping sauce for it – it just needs to be marinated and cooked properly. We had the chance to try out some things from Lawry’s for [...]
Confession: I will admit that I am not totally green. I care about our environment, but as a busy mother, sometimes being ‘green’ just isn’t in the books for me. Well, that was until now. In my Jeep, on the door, I have a collection of reusable shopping bags. Why are they here? These bags [...]
I love gadgets. I love electronics. I love photography and capturing my kids’ every moments! How are you capturing your Summer vacation? What about your kids?

I am not currently pregnant, but when I was TTC (trying to conceive) and when I was pregnant with my kids, I tracked everything, and I mean everything. In today’s modern technology, the possibilities are just about endless when it comes to iPhone, iPod touch and even the iPad. Med ART Studios has Sprout Pregnancy [...]
A couple of years ago, I heard about something that I knew that my kids would love: Zoobie Pets. We went on a hunt in a 50 mile radius and found a place that sold them. We bought two: Jafaru the Giraffe and Tama the Tortoise. Ever since then, we are hooked! Talk about the [...]
We live in a pretty small town, so our shopping experiences are limited. We choose to drive about an hour to get all of our shopping done, as well as we love to buy in bulk at Sam’s Club offers affordable items for catering to large and small celebrations, products and activities for family-fun and [...]
The kids love role play and imaginative playing. From a mother’s opinion, it is hard (for me) to find toys that both of my kids will play with, enjoy for more than a week, something that is easy to store and something that I find reasonable in price. We were given the chance to check [...]
I am always up for a good movie, especially when the kids are in bed and I have all the time in the world to spare. I was given that chance to see ‘When In Rome’ before it came out. I know, I am a bit delayed on a write up; as we had company [...]
Do you send flowers? If so, why do you send them? If not, why don’t you? I love to send flowers just because. Recently, 1-800-FLOWERS.COM contacted me to receive a bouquet of flowers and while I love flowers, I thought I would bring a smile to someone else’s face. Why? This summer, 1-800-FLOWERS.COM is on [...]

Recently, we bought a new grill. Our old one was a hand me down, that was handed down and the poor thing was more than over its’ legal age requirement. We plan on spending the summer grilling out as much as we possibly can. We love to grill out! Not only is it fun, but [...]
Most of us drive. Most of us have cell phones. With this said, a very large portion of people don’t have headsets, and in turn, are not practicing safe driving. I will confess that I have been known to text while driving, my phone will beep and I will see if it’s that email I [...]
Father’s Day is this weekend. Do you know what you are going to get dad, grandpa, your hubby? We have a 1900 home that we are constantly working on so any gifts that we buy for each other are usually for the house. We love renovating our home! It is fun and it is something [...]
In April, I posted about a director’s chair from Guidecraft. Tucker still loves and uses this chair on a daily basis! Well, I am here today to tell you about another chair, that is perfect for boy or girl from Guidecraft. This is a gorgeous, very well made and handpainted Cubs rocker. Officially licensed Major [...]
It doesn’t matter what your age is, there are games that are made for any age, literally. The kids have some fun games that (I am admitting this, so shush) I like to play, or hubby and I will play, when they aren’t around. Don’t tell anyone. We received a game that has truly become [...]
I travel quite a bit. This ranges from bloggy travels in and out of airports for conference events, traveling through other locations for personal or family travels or what about those trips to the grocery store? Anywhere that you go, you have a purse, suitcase, bag, or even a diaper bag. How do you usually [...]
I love movies. I love pictures. I take a lot of both, but what do we do with all these previous memories that we take? Most of the time, they just sit on our computer, hard drive or memory card, right? What if you could make movies so easy with your pictures and videos and [...]
Home-style macaroni & cheese with a sandwich made with Oscar Mayer Deli Fresh Shaved Meats, served with a glass of ice cold Kool-Aid Fun Fizz. What is a better way to soak in the summertime lunch than that? We had the chance to try out 6 new products from Kraft Foods that I would love [...]
Three days ago, I posted about my first ‘day’ with Wilton. While that technically was my first day with Wilton, I wanted to share with you my first FULL day with Wilton. While I was at Wilton, I learned so many things ranging from what pans to use for baking your cake, how to prevent [...]
Spaghetti. Messy eaters. Photos. Life can’t get any better! We had the chance to try a pasta that we have never tried before, so we were all excited to give it a whirl: Ronzoni. Looks good, doesn’t it? About Ronzoni: In 1881, a young boy emigrated from the small fishing village of San Fruttuoso, Italy, [...]
Our family can eat breakfast three meals a day if we were able to. There are so many days that the kids ask for cancakes (pancakes) for lunch. I don’t mind, its easy to make, we love the wheat blend mix from Hungry Jack, so they are yummy and so easy to make – just [...]

I love my house to smell good, but having small kids, I don’t care too much for having hot things or lit candles around where little fingers can get burned. I am a huge fan of Febreze products, so when I saw that there was a new product coming out, I was excited, beyond words! [...]
I travel quite a bit. It may be from our family venturing out and about for the day on errands or it can be me traveling out of state for a blog conference event. I get so tired of taking so many separate wall chargers. Oh, and we cannot forget how many times my BlackBerry [...]
When it comes to teaching my kids new things, I love it when I am able to teach them, but still allow them plenty of room to still have fun. I am so excited to share with you a product that we have been able to review far before the product is out to purchase: [...]
We love snacks, especially cookies! We had the chance to try out a brand that I am familiar with in some parts, but was really excited to give a try: Mother’s Cookies Circus Animal cookies. I live in the Midwest, so these have been hard to find, until now. We had the chance to try [...]
The current craze in our house is Shrek. While we haven’t seen the new movie yet, the kids are watching all the previous movies, reading Shrek books, playing Shrek video games and now, when we are out and about, the kids love to use my iPod touch or iPad and read along with a fun [...]

I travel a lot. This ranges from bloggy travels for events and conferences, to family travels across the state or across the country. When I fly, I have noticed all the luggage looks similar, so when my bag is coming across the luggage belt at the airport, I have to look closely at each bag [...]
Whether I am traveling out of town on an event, or toting the family to the grocery store, I like to take along a handbag that is big enough for all my things that I need from my Couponizer, wallet, BlackBerry, and even being able to have room to put the kids things in there [...]
Kambry loves baby dolls, but I have to say that she has a baby that she will not put down, will not leave at home when we venture out and one dolly that she has to have with her at all times, regardless of the time of day! Your little girl will love caring for [...]
