Chef’sChoice WaffleCone Express & Gourmet Mix Review

 I love waffle cones. It's not just a summer thing either. Waffle cones just take my favorite dessert to the next level. There are so many ways to dress them up and make them but even simply plain nothing beats a waffle cone. When I had the opportunity to see all the different waffle machines that Chef'sChoice carried at the Chicago Housewares show I was impressed. I knew there were all these … [Read more...]

HalloweenCostumes.Org Childrens Deluxe Scooby Doo Costume Review

I can't believe that Halloween is just around the corner! I feel like it was just yesterday that I was planning our summer!

Nomad Brush Giveaway! Long Tip (Original) for iPad & Touchscreen Devices

Isn't it amazing how far technology has come? I love things that are touch screen and I find myself constantly banging on things that aren't touch screen expecting everything to work like my iPad. When I first got my iPad I thought I'd use it for the basic things like email, facebook, and blogging. Instead we've discovered the world of apps and have found so many uses for the iPad we never thought … [Read more...]

Tween Academy #DontFretTheSweat [Join Me!]

This year Johnny turns 11. He's in the 5th grade. That alone should tell you where we are with the dramatics. Everything is becoming a big deal. Last year was the beginning of the changes but this year it's on and it's strong. I try to do all I can to be support and help him realize and distinguish the things that are important and the ones that he shouldn't bother with. It's the first year in … [Read more...]

The most dramatic development this week: reflexes. Your baby's fingers will soon begin to open and close, her toes will curl, her eye muscles will clench, and her mouth will make sucking movements. In fact, if you prod your abdomen, your baby will squirm in response, although you won't be able to feel it. Her intestines, which have grown so fast that they protrude into the umbilical cord, will … [Read more...]
