I was offered the chance to try some mystery cookies. I love food, so I said yes, sign me up. The mystery cookies turned out to be from World of Grains and they sent me a sample of every flavor they make. The flavors are cranberry, blueberry, apple cinammon, oatmeal raisin and multigrain. World of [...]

While the name used to be synonymous with the ladies that came door to door peddling makeup, the Avon of today is so much more. I recently received some items from their fashion and accessory line that shattered any preconceived notions I had about Avon.
As a working mom, I’m always looking for fashion forward pieces [...]

Kermit can’t sing his trademark tune any longer. The sentiment that “it’s not easy being green,” is just passé. The last couple of years you can’t seem to turn around without seeing green products everywhere you shop, and that’s a great thing!
A couple of years ago, when we moved into our new home, I [...]

If you want to make a 6 year old boys day, just bring home a box that contains a remote control helicopter from Air Hogs. This is what I did a few weeks ago with our son and although I knew he would be ecstatic over the new toy, I was concerned that it might [...]

My sons and I were familiar with Bob the Builder. We had never watched any of the episodes, but we knew Bob. We knew his work and we respected him as one fine builder. When we received the Bob the Builder: Big Build Collection, I had mixed feelings. I try to choose shows that [...]

When it comes to finding a snack for my daughter I am really picky. It needs to be healthy with not a lot of sugar added. I also want her to enjoy it without making a big mess. I was introduced to Brother’s All Natural fruit and potato crisps by another mom with a toddler [...]

Sunday morning is usually the same every week. Wake up, crawl out of bed, make some breakfast, wake up the teens and have a family pow-wow. We talk, discuss chores and then all head to our separate areas of the house.You can imagine what type of aromas linger after cooking a hearty breakfast.
I’ve found very [...]

I have been sent a goldmine, literally. If the TV show Raggs ever gets into the public eye, I don’t see why it won’t take off immediately. I was sent a DVD with three episodes to review and a music CD, both of which were instant hits in our home.I love this show because it encourages [...]

I am just shy of my 35th birthday and although I don’t see fault lines on my face when I look in the mirror, I can see a difference in my skin from let’s say 10 years ago. I decided about a month ago to look into some anti-aging cream, because I felt proactive about [...]

Stride Rite: You have a new fan.
I hate buying baby shoes. There, I admitted it. They never fit the way they should. Lets face it, most kids have anatomically weird feet. They are either way wide, very thick or abnormally small, or a combination of the three. My kid has thick and small feet, so when Stride [...]

Our son is a huge Star Wars fan. He loved the originals films that didn’t have all the special effects that the last Trilogy did, but overall his general interest was that the characters all seemed real. With Star Wars: The Clone Wars coming out on DVD I wasn’t sure if he would still find [...]

If you’re a fan of the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse series, you’ll love Mickey’s Storybook Surprises. (And by you I mean, of course, the children in your house. Because you won’t find me admitting that I liked this DVD. However, I’m not denying it.)
Cartoons and children’s shows have come a long way since the days when [...]
