Well I’m shocked. When my mother told me she had purchased some bags to help condense items in her closet I didn’t think much of it. Then my son kept telling me there was a “new way to do laundry with the vacuum.”
I didn’t really know what he meant until I saw my mom’s new [...]

I’ve been reviewing some free samples of Glad Simply Cooking bags.
I must admit I was leery of these from the start. Microwaving and plastic just don’t mix, and these are essentially plastic bags designed for microwave steaming vegetables.
The press materials accompanying these bags claim that because no PVC is used in the bags and [...]

The folks at Wateroos recently sent me some samples of their products to review. When I first read their pitch, I didn’t even respond to the email because I thought “I have stainless steel sippy cups that I can fill with my own water. No chemicals. No waste. No problem.”
When they sent [...]

The husband and I subscribed to My Points a billion years ago (okay a few years ago) and I never really understood why the rest of my web addict friends didn’t as well. And then an affiliate marketing genius friend of mine says “Oh, stay away from My Points. They’ll spam you [...]

I can’t live without my Neutrogena Oil-Free Moisture SPF 15. I didn’t discover the wonders of moisturizer until a few years ago, because throughout my teens and into my mid-twenties I had horrible skin that broke out all the time.
I was terrified to try any product other than my trusted, extremely mild facial wash for [...]

I’ve been previewing the upcoming series Word World and I must tell you that I’ve finally found a show on TV (well, soon to be on TV anyway) that I’d actually let my kids watch.
It’s an incredibly innovative addition to the preschoolers TV lineup that’s coming to PBS Kids in the fall of this year. [...]

After scouring the internet all weekend looking at party invitations for our son’s upcoming 5th birthday I was overwhelmed. Even more so, I was shocked by the prices some companies were asking for a mere thirty pieces of paper.
I’m sure the quality was good and the designs were very attractive but spending $100 for invitations [...]

My husband says that I’m “vocabularious” so I suppose it’s only natural I would gravitate towards SATees, which are these terribly clever shirts (and onesies) for babies and children with very sophisticated adjectives printed on them.
The idea is that you pick an adjective that describes YOUR child so of course, I had no choice but [...]

My kids typically have 2 or 3 pairs of shoes at any given time. Since they grow out of them so quickly, we don’t like to buy them more than that, even if they are inexpensive.
Typically we will take a trip to the Stride Rite outlet store a couple of times a year and just [...]

I like mom magazines as much as anyone and when a new one hits the market, it’s very likely I will check it out. I think the one in question came to us via some frequent flyer points we were needing to use up and didn’t have enough to actually merit travel.
Enter Cookie.
Ummmm, yeah. [...]
