I never had a fear for the dentist the way other people did. I never had cavities or issues that needed any oral surgery until I was a little older. My dentist visits were always standard with an x-ray and a cleaning. It was not until I had to have my wisdom teeth removed that my fear for the dentist emerged. You see, I had an infection from the impacted tooth, so Novacain was not sufficient to numb my pain. I felt EVERYTHING, from the tugging ...

Lollacup Review
My little girl has been using a straw cup since she was about 10 months old. She mainly uses her straw cup for water, since she still has her milk in a (gasp) bottle. I know - The bottle should be taken away, but I've decided to pick and choose my battles with my toddler. She gave up the pacifier with no major issues, but she needs her bottle to sleep, and I need to sleep, so the bottle is here to stay for now. I have tried purchasing novelty ...
dENiZEN Jeans Review
I have a VERY difficult time with jeans. To be honest, there is only one brand of jeans I liked until now, and they are very hard to find. The reason I liked my previous jeans is because they were forgiving. They were stretchy enough to accommodate my movement but stiff enough to be considered jeans. I don't like restrictive clothing and I feel that jeans in general are restrictive. Until I tried dENiZEN jeans from Levi Strauss. They are the ...
We Can Cook Book Review and #Giveaway !
My niece and nephew have spent most of their summer with me since school is out. When they stay over, meal times have to be creative because my niece is one picky eater. It is impossible to get her to eat anything besides pizza and pasta. My nephew, on the other hand, will eat anything. While juggling their own personal preferences for food, I have my toddler who will eat anything one minute but be picky the next. I try to make foods fun for ...
Fanboy and Chum Chum Brain Freeze
Fanboy and Chum Chum is full of large vocabulary words-one episode alone had marvelous, spectacular, dazzled, gumption and many more. It encourages a lot of imaginary play. Each episode is filled with a few different imaginary situations. It offers a lot of different characters and this DVD is mostly focused around the ever loving "FROSTY FREEZE". We had the pleasure of reviewing this gem a few weeks early. The DVD hits stores on August 16th, but ...
We had a Fijit Party!
My niece and nephew spend a significant amount of time at my home, so much that they even has a few friends in my neighborhood. Now that it is summer time and school is out, they can stay over for days at a time. My house is always full of children because apparently I have the "fun house." Thanks to my hubby who set up a basement full of toys and gaming consoles (I think those are for the big kids, but the little ones have a great time with it ...
Look good and stay cool in this heat!
Makeup and me- we have a love hate relationship. I love it, it hates me. I can never pick the right cosmetics for my skin type or tone. When I do fund cosmetics I like, I can't seem to find a shade that matches my skin tone. Apparently I'm in between colors. When I was contacted to try out the new Avon Extra Lasting Liquid Foundation, I actually had to think twice. How can a PR rep pick out a color for me when I can't even do it myself? You can ...
SPF 50+ Shirt Review and Giveaway
One of my dear friends had skin cancer years ago. When I had the opportunity to review the Yellowman Flower Clouds Sun Tee, I knew that I had to pass this one along to her. She was so grateful that I shared this with her that she wanted to give her own personal account of what she felt about this shirt. Here is her review: As someone who had skin cancer removed a few years ago, I try to avoid the sun at all costs. I wear a gigantic hat that ...
