A while ago, I reviewed products that contained Xylitol in them and after learning about the benefits of Xylitol, I ran out and purchased a xylitol based toothpaste for my toddler. What makes xylitol so great? Well, unlike artificial sweeteners, xylitol is found in fruits and vegetables and has proven to have many oral care benefits. Sugar being used in a toothpaste is an oxymoron - the sugar … [Read more...]

Shortly after we got married, my husband headed into the basement with a basket full of clothes and mumbled, "Laundry is the bain of my existence." Okay, so I don't like laundry either, but I wouldn't exactly say it is the "bain of my existence." I guess any married woman can admit that our hubbies can be a little dramatic at times (and I'm sure they would say the same about us!) Let me tell … [Read more...]

Personalized calling cards are the hottest thing during this back to school season. Kids can carry these useful cards around and give them to their friends, including information such as their email address and phone number. Don't be fooled by these fun patterns, Amy Adele calling cards are great for adults too! You can use them as whimsical business cards, gift tags, bookplates, appointment … [Read more...]

If you've been reading my blog, then you know that for my toddler's 2nd birthday, we were planning a Minnie celebration. Being that she may actually remember this birthday, I wanted it to be perfect and detail oriented. Unfortunately, due to Hurricane Irene, our turnout was not as expected, but we still had a house full of family and she had a blast! One detail I never put much  thought into … [Read more...]

As a teacher I know that back to school means the start of perpetual colds, runny noses, and the flu.

Kleenex just came out with new designs to keep your kids sporting their tissues in style. With on the go packs featuring Sneeze Shield, … [Read more...]

If you have been following my blog for a while, then you know from my previous posts that I have a nasty sweating issue. I have seen doctors for this issue and tried various forms of treatment without much help. They next step in my treatment would be botox injections under my armpit - but that is not happening, so I have to continue on my search for something that works and deal with this … [Read more...]

My toddler is not yet into board games and I cannot wait until she is. My oldest niece, however, is at a great age where we can play board games  and interact, spending some great quality time together. I love board games because I feel that it reinforces behavior that you want your child to learn, such as building self esteem by finding something they are good at, as well as learning the value … [Read more...]

I have a new favorite disposable diaper! If you have been reading my blog for a while, then you know that I switched to cloth diapers in the spring. When the summer came around, our schedule changed, we were always on  the go, and I had to pull the cord on cloth for a few months - especially after we ran into a cloth diaper funk issue (that's for another post!) So we went off on a journey to … [Read more...]

With the fall and winter seasons just around the corner, it is never too early to think about keeping your feet warm and comfy. I know, you  must think I'm insane writing about winter while we are still in August, but my feet FREEZE! My husband calls them ice blocks and I have to wear two pairs of socks to sleep because they get that cold. When Dearfoams asked me to review a pair of their … [Read more...]
