When I first heard of the Cake Boss I went bonkers as I actually live extremely close to them. Since we weren't too far away my husband and I actually ventured out and bought ourselves a few goodies from their shop in Hoboken. Thankfully it was in the beginning of the fame and it wasn't too crowded. Now if you want to go there's usually lines out the door and down the street! Buddy has … [Read more...]
Holiday Goodies Delivered to Your Door from Build-A-Bear {Review & Giveaway}
We already love Build-A-Bear but around the holiday season I personally love them even more because the animals we make become special memories for us that we pull out and use as decor each year. We just love the Hal & Jolly Moose we did a few years ago. This year we are super excited to add the Grinch and Rudolph to our collections! They will be perfect for this holiday season! We had them … [Read more...]
{Wordful Wednesday} A Little Christmas {Elf} Magic
Last year I really wanted to get into the whole Elf thing. I really did but I just found the whole 'Elf on the Shelf' to be really creepy. Gavin heard his friends talking about these elves that came and hid every night but I just didn't want to play along. Then I heard about Elf Magic Elves. You pick if you wanted a boy or a girl and even what they looked like. I was thrilled! These elves were … [Read more...]
Webkinz Friends App for the iPad!
I've talked about Webkinz with you guys on posts. We have been huge fans of these plush friends and their online world for years! We have probably over 50 friends to be honest. We love that it's a place the kids can go online and play and have fun. The fun began with Johnny and its continued onto Gavin and I guess I should admit I've been hooked on a few arcade games here and there too. We've … [Read more...]
BABYBJORN Travel Crib Light 2 {Review}
Can you believe that it took baby #3 for me to discover the BabyBjorn brand? Yeah, me neither! Well, I really wish I had known sooner because we've been using their carrier since day one with Sawyer. We've actually tried multiple carriers and this is Sawyers favorite and he loves being in it! I use it from everywhere to the park to the plane and I love that he can face forward (his favorite) or … [Read more...]
The New Ninja® Cooking System {Review & Giveaway} $200 Value!
I love small kitchen appliances. I don't know why but I seem to collect them. While I love having them all I really don't have the space so when a product can do multiple things it immediately gets my attention. We are a family of five so the appliances that can handle larger quantities are always an added bonus. When I can even cut down the amount of dishes I'm using and still have a solid … [Read more...]
Balboa Baby High Chair Cover {Review & Giveaway} #RC
Sawyer may be my third baby and we joke that as we go on with children we become more less worried about germs. Yes, I may not feel like every little thing needs to be sterilized these days but some musts I still believe in are covers for the public seats they are placed in. The shopping cards they feel the need to put their mouth all over and the high chairs well they have a bunch of stuff that … [Read more...]
Grilled Cheesy Broccoli Pocket with Ham {kid friendly #recipe from #birdseye}
Now that its the holiday season things really are out of control and there is no time for anything it seems. The two older boys are both in afterschool programs AND sports making for some crazy, crazy schedules. I'm normally picking them up from an afterschool lesson and only have an hour or less until they are due at a sport practice. Thing is those sports practices are a couple hours long and … [Read more...]
{Wordful Wednesday} Overwhelmed
Things are insane over here. I feel like I have so much to do. Come this weekend all this crazyness will be worth it though so I just need to get through this week. Hubby & I have a fun family week planned for the boys and I'm disconnecting from the internet as much as possible to make it all about family. We planned this awhile ago and it sounded like such a great idea (and it is!) but the … [Read more...]
