Thank you to Cate & Chloe for providing me with product, free of charge, for review.  All opinions are my own.   I used to have and wear a large selection of jewelry.  Some pieces were large and eye-catching and some were more subtle and soft.  Once I became a mom and had a little one in my arms, I started leaning towards the smaller more subtle pieces though.  Babies love jewelry and I've lost more than one piece to those small hands!  So when I first came across Cate & Read more [...]

Thank you to Casio for providing me with product, free of charge, for review.  All opinions are my own. I feel that music is such an important part of life.  It can be a great tool for relaxation and enjoyment or a way to share fear or grief.  I've even read that music can be a mood booster and can help the brain retain information.  Because of all the benefits that I believe music offers, our kids take lessons.  Our oldest is 9 and she takes piano and violin lessons.  Our son is 7 and Read more [...]

I received products from Jamba At-Home Smoothies for my review. All opinions are my own. My daughters love smoothies! We often make smoothies with both fruits and vegetables. It is a fun way for them to enjoy a nutritional beverage. It is also fun to take this smoothie blend and turn them into popsicles; healthy summers treat! We were recently asked to try the new Jamba At-Home Smoothie Kits. Each kit contains a fruit and vegetable smoothie blend. They come in two new flavors- Red Fusion and Read more [...]

I received products from Funnybone Muse for my review. All opinions are my own. My daughters, ages 7 and 5, love arts & crafts! We have an entire cabinet dedicated to arts & crafts supplies. We have papers, crayons, markers, pencils, stencils, scissors, stamps, paints, glue, glitter, stickers, pompoms, ric rac, foam sheets, popsicle sticks and so much more.  The one supply I knew we were missing was stamps! I did some ‘mom research’ and found a company called Funnybone Muse. Read more [...]

Of course, more experienced moms are more than welcome to join in and comment on what they think are 'mommy-sentials' - those things moms can't live without! As a mother of 2, I've been told even since my first pregnancy that I'd need this or that. I was always very cautious with my choices Read more [...]

Thank you to Tadpoles for providing me with product, free of charge, for review.  All opinions are my own. When we had our first child over nine years ago, one thing we always struggled with was where to put her when we ate.  We didn't want to have her on the hard floor in the dining room and even putting her in the bouncer we had felt like she was too low.  Since bouncers take up quite a bit of room we kept it off the table as well.  So, we either took turns holding her as we ate or put her Read more [...]

I received products from Bloomer's Island for my review. All opinions are my own. I was blessed with two daughters who love vegetables. There are only a couple vegetables that they have turned up their noses at. I know I am extremely lucky. Many parents struggle with getting their children to eat vegetables. Some choose to 'hide' vegetable puree in other foods and others just give up and don't make their kids eat them. From very early on, we asked our kids to eat three bites of everything on Read more [...]
