"We had a great day- It was the best day, with friends, it's always better!" Who doesn't like the catchy tunes of The Fresh Beat band? My toddler loves singing and dancing with them and now she can watch them anytime of day because the first Fresh Beat Band DVD will be out on August 14, 2012! Fresh Beat Band: The Wizard Of Song is available for preorder through Amazon at a discounted price, so … [Read more...]
Right before my toddler had the awesome opportunity to be transformed into a Winx fairy, she previewed the Winx Club: The Secret of the Lost Kingdom Movie on DVD. This was a great way to get to know the fairies and what they were about. Is this the first time you are hearing about the Winx Club? Well, they are a group of fairies: Bloom, Stella, Flora, Tecna, Musa, and Aisha who use their … [Read more...]
Remember your high school Social Studies teacher? Do you remember what he wore? Maybe it was a button down shirt with jeans or slacks. Maybe it was a plaid shirt. Either way, it was most likely unstylish and plain. I'm sorry hubby, but you have fallen into that Social Studies teacher pitfall. I knew you needed a makeover when you wore a blue button down shirt with brown cargo shorts. It just … [Read more...]
After I waited so long to meet my newest little girl, I couldn't wait to share the news with family and friends once she was born. Of course, everyone got the quick Facebook update but I'm not a fan of posting pics and stats on social media sites, so I knew a traditional birth announcement was in order. Before my baby was born, I did a quick skim of the announcements at Tiny Prints, but I wasn't … [Read more...]

My toddler is going through a phase: she thinks she's a cat. I thought by now she would have outgrown this obsession with cats, but it's still going strong. She insists she's a cat and will even respond to me by meowing. Whenever anyone asks her a question, her response is "kitty cat." I'm really hoping she grows out of it soon, because it's starting to freak me out just a bit, but until then I … [Read more...]
Last night was a "curl up and watch a movie" kinda night. We had tornado-like storms with high winds, a lot of rain, thunder, and lightening. Unfortunately, there is no such thing as a movie night around here because my toddler usually can't sit still long enough to watch anything longer than 10 minutes, so we decided to dust off the Wii and play a game. It's been a while since we played a new Wii … [Read more...]
It is rare that you will catch me shopping in a mall. I simply don't like stores, crowds, pushy salespeople, and flipping through shelves or racks looking for what I need. Then you finally get to the counter, wait on a long line and you realize that you don't have a coupon for that. This is why I feel that I get the best deals online and choose to stick with online shopping. I always find a coupon … [Read more...]
Do people really watch soap opera these days? I don't know anyone of my peers that are interested or even has time to watch soap operas. My grandmother is really the only one I know that still watches them and two of her favorite shows have recently ended. Sometimes I feel that Facebook is its own soap opera because some people can be so dramatic, share every aspect of their lives, and while we … [Read more...]
This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Boost Mobile for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine. Uploaded with Skitch! I love my smart phone, but I really don't like that I'm stuck in a contract. Oh, and the $150 bill each month for a family plan isn't going over too well with my budget either, so it's time to start thinking of better ways to obtain cell phone … [Read more...]
