For those of you who have been following my blog for a while, you might remember the headaches we dealt with when we were trying to get moved in to our current apartment. We had issue after issue but after about 3 months of phone calls, appointments and running around, we finally got the OK to move in, but they couldn't put us on the lease because they attempted to run a background check on my boyfriend but they got the wrong guy. That guy had a felony, so that guy couldn't get accepted to live in Read more [...]

It's my personal beleif that every small child should own a superman/super girl cape. Especially if they are a boy. Pretend play is such a fun and important part of the preschool years but unfortunately it can be hard to find 'boy' pretend play outfits. My 4 year old nephew loves to wear his old Halloween costumes for play, and sometimes uses blankets or towels as a superhero cape, which is definitely cute, but once I heard of power capes I knew they were cuter and he needed one. Power capes is a Read more [...]

This gift idea is for the tiniest people on our lists - babies! Or perhaps for their parents instead. If you haven't heard of the miracle blanket you are missing out! It's a special type of swaddling blanket that guarantees that it will stop colic. That's quite the claim to make! While I haven't seen the blanket in person, I have read countless blog posts from desperate moms of colicky babies, begging for any suggestions from moms who have dealt with colic in the past. Somewhere in the comments Read more [...]

From my experience, during the holidays, most all women hope for jewelry of some kind.  Some prefer earrings, others bracelets, some people love fashion jewelry so they can have a set of jewelry that matches every outfit they own, where as I personally love jewelry but I tend to wear the same 2 rings, necklace and earrings everyday. I have an allergy to nickel which is part of why I tend to stick to my one set of really nice jewelry. A great place to look for jewelry this holiday season is Franklin Read more [...]

Around here, the holiday gifts don't stop at the human family members. Our furry friends get gifts too. If you have a kitty then I have a great gift idea for you. A cardboard cat house from one purrfect place. If your cat is like mine you are probably wondering if your cat would have any interest in a cardboard cat house...I know my cat has a mind of it's own and I never really know if she will like the new toy I get her or not. However, she absolutely loves her cat house. I have noticed that my Read more [...]

If you have a little one on your list, you have to check out kidorable! They have something for every kid out there, including some stuff for babies as well. If you're like me, when you think of kidorable you think about their rain gear, and although they do have really adorable rain coats, boots and umbrellas, they have so much more. My favorite product that they sell are their hooded towels. I love how common hooded towel shave gotten becuase they are so cute and kids love them as well. However, Read more [...]
