Toy Fair 2012 was pretty phenomenal last week and I only went for ONE day. Floors and floors of the latest and greatest toys for retailers and media to peruse. I am finally getting a moment to think about it all and post a few pictures and this giveaway. In honor of this insane event, [...]

Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey® Circus: Dragon

Sarah — Fri, 24 Feb 2012 14:29:10 +0000

Last night the Wells Fargo Center treated us to box seats in a suite on the club level to view the one and only Dragon, the latest edition of the Ringling Bros. and Barnum Bailey® Circus' Greatest Show on Earth. Because I have taken my kids to the circus in recent years, I almost said [...]

Taking the Listerine Challenge for National Children's Dental Health Month

Sarah — Tue, 21 Feb 2012 03:25:04 +0000

I have spent 14 years ingraining good dental habits into the lives of our two lovely daughters, brushing twice daily. But, I will have to say that I have not encouraged flossing and rinsing with mouthwash like I should perhaps. Apparently, brushing alone misses 75% of your mouth. Hmm. . . And, then there's my [...]

Written by nurse and mom of three, Sharon Cramer, The Sneezy Wheezy Day, is the third installment of the Cougar Cub Tales – an award winning children’s picture book series that follows the adventures of a brother and sister cougar cub. My kids are in their teens at this point and I can why a [...]

One-on-One with the Biggest Celebrity Yet

Sarah — Fri, 27 Jan 2012 23:48:37 +0000

For a brief second tonight, I actually reconsidered my plans for tomorrow. A thousand chores, duties, to-dos crowded my cranial cavity and in a moment of insanity, I debated staying home. What I could really use is a little time to sleep-in, a little time to get caught up. Do I really need this meeting? [...]

Making a Rag Quilt

Sarah — Wed, 25 Jan 2012 02:35:27 +0000

When I first moved to Pennsylvania 21 years ago (and, wow, that's almost half my lifetime!), I became fascinated with the long honored tradition of quilting so prevalent throughout the community. You have everything from Amish quilters to Hmong reverse quilting called "paj ntaub" which means flower cloth. I made two baby quilts and called [...]

In my house, we go through a LOT of clothes for a family of 4. THREE women, need I say more? I have one particular diva who seems to pile up the dirty clothes by the bucket load and I wonder sometimes if that's how she cleans her room (like, giving me back clean pieces [...]
