We have tried not to turn our home into an overcrowded sea of baby gear. So far, there has been success in this venture. We did realize however, that there needed to be places to put the baby down sometimes. Enter the Boppy Rock In Comfort Travel Swing.
The best thing about this swing is that [...]

I am not a neat cook. My stove top usually resembles a Jackson Pollack painting after I’m done with it. I need something to clean it with that is powerful, yet I can’t tolerate bleach and hate the idea of smearing chemicals all over the same surfaces on which I cook.

I could not wait to get my sample of Blinc Kiss Me Mascara in the mail. I was excited by the new concept of tubing lashes rather than painting them. This product coats lashes by combing a tube of black mascara over the lashes like a pipe so that the waterproof formula will not run, [...]

Our son probably has about 4 pair of sunglasses at any given time. You can find a pair in the car, a pair near the sandbox and probably a few pairs at the bottom of the toy basket. The problem is that he wears them and lays them down somewhere and then forgets where they [...]

I recently tried out Sole Clips - a product designed to keep your pant legs from dragging on the ground. I’m short and need to have most of my pants tailored, so when I heard about sole clips I was excited at the prospect of saving a few bucks at the seamstress.
I tried them [...]

This stroller, also known as “The Stroller That Set Us Free,” was the purchase which finally allowed us to go somewhere with our 20 month old and newborn twins. We had looked around and found that almost all of the triple stroller options that existed were simply way over-priced, at least for our budget.
But [...]

My son loves Winnie the Pooh. I never intentionally introduced him to Pooh because I never imagined he would be the type of kid to be interested in honey pots and a bouncing Tigger, but when we were at the library one morning he saw the video and grabbed it.
It is one year later and [...]

Maybe you’ve seen this shiny lipstick combination package on a store shelf and wondered if it was worth the price of around $12 (or if you find it on sale like I did for $6). You might be inclined to give it try (especially when it’s half-price) in hopes of the promised extra moisture to [...]

One of my friends at work gave me some small bottles of hand lotion to try out and the C.O. Bigelow Lemon Hand Treatment was one of them. My first reaction was lemon equals boring. But it smelled nice so I set it aside to try out when the lotions I knew better had run [...]

My sister just raves about her heated eyelash curler. So when my traditional “squeeze” curler disappeared, I decided to try it. I headed on over to Sephora and purchased one for $16. It’s a little more expensive than the regular ones but I was desperate, and it claimed to help stubborn straight lashes.
I liked that [...]

I recently received a BodyGuardz cover for my iPod Nano. BodyGuardz are plastic covers that protect your device from scratches and such. The concept is a good one and I was excited to get something that would protect my iPod from little fingers, and the abuse they can dish out. To make a very [...]

I am one for bargains and trying new things. I was able to satisfy both passions when I saw the new Diet Cherry Chocolate Dr. Pepper on sale and combined it with a $1.50 off instant coupon, which made it practically free. After chilling the can and drinking it over crushed ice I was seriously [...]

I have lived in the South and in the North. I appreciate that depending on where you live, you can order a hoagie, grinder or sub, and still end up with a very similar sandwich. I also realize that people in different regions, eat and drink things to the taste palette of the region. Sweet [...]

Recently, I was sent a bottle of Dawn Direct Foam to review. The claim is that you pump just one pump of foam onto the included (or any) sponge and it washes your whole sink of dishes. Here’s what I thought…
I received the fresh rapids scent and it was very light - hardly [...]
