When your child learns to go to the restroom, it’s wonderful. I love it when I can praise them, and then go and buy those cute little underwear to put on their none fluffy bottoms. However, I dread going out of the house when they are young, because they have to use public restrooms.

What’s not fun about a name like Wiggity Bang Games? The name alone is fun to say and after reviewing a few of their new games I can honestly say they are even more fun to play! They recently introduced Whizizzle Phonics (another cute name) which is a line of card games aimed at helping [...]

As adorable as baby pandas are, “A Panda Is Born” didn’t hold the interest of my 11 year old for the 84 minutes it ran. The younger kids loved it though. The DVD follows 2 mating seasons at the Smithsonian National Zoo, which finally results in the birth of a live panda cub, named Tai [...]

I’m bad at hair. I’ve always been bad at hair. I will go get my hair done and as they are styling it I know in my soul that it will never look that way again. It turns out they make something for people like me. The Misikko Infrashine Flat Iron makes my hair look [...]

My children were recently given a selection of puzzles from the Great American Puzzle Factory, which is part of Fundex Games. Imagine our delight when we opened the boxes of the Make’em Move puzzles to find that they have wheels that turn as well as other pieces of each scene that move. On the [...]

I admit I’m often skeptical when it comes to products that promise to improve my achy joints. I’ve had several orthopedic surgeries to my ankle and knee from a car accident a few years ago. In the past I’ve taken a glucosamine and chondroitin supplement from GNC. It seemed like it was helping, but never [...]

Have you ever heard of Kutoka? I hadn’t, or at least I didn’t think I had, until I looked at their website and saw some of their products. My husband and I had seen their software games before at Toys R Us and were never sure if our almost 6 year old would find them [...]

My husband and I recently took an evening to dine out, something we haven’t done in a while. We also took in a movie on our date night. Anymore by the time we get to dinner, we are so tired we skip the movie and opt to go home early to get to bed. But [...]

Maybe it is the former teacher in me, but I love books. Like every good parent, I foster a love of literacy by spending lots of time reading to my children. Occasionally, I do get tired of reading the same old books over and over again! When it is time for an infusion of new [...]

I am not one who likes to wear a lot of perfume, but I do like to smell clean and pretty. My mother has always had good taste in perfumes and colognes, so when I found out she bought a new fragrance for her collection, I had to try it.
Can I say I am in [...]

I mentioned that I am a flip flop fanatic. Come summer I live in my flip flops so they have to be stylish and comfortable. Gone are the days of those thin drugstore flip flops that I used to buy in every color and always ended up looking too matchey. They have been replaced by [...]

Whenever I go for a pedicure, I always go for salons that stock OPI polish. I love picking out a bottle from the display and flipping it over to read the fun name of the shade. With names like A-Rose at Dawn…Broke By Noon (sparkling medium pink shade), I’m Not a Waitress (shimmering red), Skinny [...]

The Olive Kids toddler bedding set is spectacular. It is ideal for helping add excitement to transitioning a toddler from a crib to a bed. What toddler wouldn’t be thrilled to lay down on such adorable designs? Both of my boys absolutely love the Heroes pattern which feature police, fire fighters and all the gadgets [...]
