WIN Seventh Generation Diapers & The Lorax Book

2012-02-25T20:52:00.000-05:00

I’m kind of excited about the Dr. Seuss movie, The Lorax, coming out soon. I think my son will love it and since it has a good environmental message, I thought it would be fun to take him. Plus, the book has quickly become a bedtime favorite. In celebration of the new movie, Seventh Generation will feature limited edition Lorax prints on all their diapers and training pants. These prints are

Have you visited Google, Wikipedia or Reddit today? If not, I suggest you do because today is Blackout Day. A day when some of the biggest and most important sites on the Internet have disabled their services in protest of the Stop Online Piracy Act and the PROTECT IP Act currently creeping its way through our legislative systems. What is SOPA? Well, here's the rundown from google:

Fancy Pancakes

2012-01-14T18:02:00.000-05:00

My kids love pancakes. And I do too. But I got tired of making the round ones all the time. We used food coloring for a while to make them fun, but then I got a little more creative. I bought cheap plastic ketchup and mustard bottles at Walmart, filled them with batter and took requests. I've made everything from Lightning McQueen to whales to helicopters to Peter Pan. It's fun, easy and the

With the Holidays in full swing, there are houseguests galore; Parties, stop-by guests and indoor playdates to name a few. One thing I’ve learned with little ones around is that messes are inevitable. Having napkins and paper towels handy is always key. And thanks to Tork, we can now make those piles of napkins a lot easier to handle and more hygienic. The TorkXpressnap is a

It’s hard to buy for my neighbors and my son’s teachers. I don’t know them well enough to buy gifts or even a gift card to their favorite place, so this year I decided to try making those ‘cookie in a jar’ things. And I think they turned out pretty well. I bought a dozen walmart-brand plain front (important) glass jars for like $6. I bought some Christmas-y fabric (you’ll need a 6” square for

It took 10 years...

2011-12-01T22:37:00.000-05:00

If you are a Smallville fan, then you know that the most anticipated moment of the series was waiting for Clark to fly. So many times in those 10 seasons, my husband and I would just look at each other and wish he would fly already, but I guess it was fitting that the writer's waited until the very last episode of the last season to launch him into the air. But it was pretty satisfying to watch

Check out my new laundry sorter!

2011-12-01T22:19:00.001-05:00

The biggest surprise to me when I becomes a mom was how much laundry a baby can make. It is absolutely ridiculous that such a little body requires that many changes of clothes, but I swear when I am sorting the laundry that each little one has just as much, if not more, than my husband and I. But as much as I hate doing laundry, I find that keeping everything sorted and separate from the

Win a HOT bag from Twisted Orchid!

I love a great handbag. And I love to have choices as well. The bag that goes perfectly with jeans and a hoodie is definitely not the same bag that goes with you on mom's night out. And while I love a hot designer bag, what I love is the hot designer look with the even hotter mom-of-2-on-a-budget price tag. For just that reason, I turn to Twisted Orchid. They have a great selection of
