Paying it Forward

July 14, 2010

There isn’t a day that goes by that I don’t recognize and feel tremendously grateful for the wonderful people and things in my life. Some days it’s easier to feel that way than others. Today was one of those days. Tomorrow is going to be another one of those days, but slightly different and incredibly [...]

Review: Two Flowers One Bear Secure Blanket

July 12, 2010

When my kids were born I coveted soft, cozy blankets.  We had a ton of them and still use many, especially with the cold winters that we now live with. The Two Flowers One Bear secure blankets are not only vibrant and super soft, they have a unique feature in that there are security links [...]

Get MOGO-The Magnet Charm Bracelet

July 12, 2010

As a teenager, I was really big into slap bracelets, and the best friend necklaces where each “friend” got half of a heart. I’m sure I would have gotten into the silly bands too (though, truth be told I bought 3 packs thinking they were hair ties. One word: OUCH). I think my world would [...]

Review: I’M OK! Mini First Aid Kits

July 12, 2010

I don’t know if it’s their age or what, but my kids are obsessed with band aids and “ouchies”. The second they fall, whether or not they actually injure themselves, is always an excuse to demand a new band aid. In fact, we’ve been going through them at lightning speed due to some new shoe-inflicted [...]

Of Nick Swisher and Legos

July 10, 2010

Lego just recently moved into their flagship store in Rockefeller Center, and Bubba and I were invited to attend the Grand Opening. I jumped at the chance to check it out both because my son is an avid Duplo fan, and well, mommy wanted to see Nick Swisher in person. Let’s be honest. Nick Swisher [...]

Review: DinDins Toddler Food

July 9, 2010

Let’s face it. Feeding toddlers is difficult. Feeding toddlers in the city has proven to be even slightly MORE difficult that “normal” because it’s not always easy to find readily available organic ingredients. For us, it’s a trek to Whole Foods, green markets, and even our local organic produce store is a 15 minute walk [...]

Disney Preview (First Peek!)

July 7, 2010

Like most other little girls, I grew up loving Disney stories. I loved Sleeping Beauty, and Cinderella, and even Ariel and Belle even though I was getting a little too old when those movies came out to covet Disney heroines. I used to fantasize that I would grow up to be a princess, and sometimes [...]

Letters From My Husband

July 6, 2010

My husband has never had an entire night with the kids alone. That is, until I went to the EVO Conference last weekend for three nights and four entire days. It was definitely difficult for me to be without them, but I was more worried about them being with out me. Not that I didn’t [...]

New Life, New Traditions

July 5, 2010

The Fourth of July used to mean BBQ, picnic blankets, fireworks, festive desserts and lots of family activities. Holidays away from family and friends have been the hardest thing to adjust to after our move. I’ve always been a big fan and celebrator of holidays, and since having children it’s only gotten more fun. It’s [...]

My First Conference: EVO ’10

July 2, 2010

Early last week, I was fortunate enough to attend the EVO Conference at The Canyons Resort in Park City, Utah. I had heard some buzzing about it on the internet in the previous weeks, but hadn’t put any thought into actually attending due to finances and, well, leaving my family. The stars aligned just so, [...]
