I remember shopping for my first special coat. There was a special occasion that took place in the winter, and my grandmother felt it was the right time for me to have my own winter coat that created a classy look, as opposed to a regular winter jacket. I still have my first coat, although it doesn't fit me anymore, because there was something special about going shopping with my grandmother to pick out the perfect coat. My toddler may never ...

Riley the Magic Elf is here! #ElfMagic
New holiday traditions are starting now that my toddler is old enough to understand and enjoy everything the season has to offer. She remembers Santa from last year, but was not old enough to put her thoughts into words and write a letter to him. This year, I have started the tradition of writing a letter to Santa. I asked my daughter if she wanted a visit from a special Elf, and of course she excitedly responded. Then we got to writing... I ...

Get Perfectly Cooked Meat Every Time with @iGrill
I never realized how much pressure was on the cook during Thanksgiving until it was my turn to host. I've been hosting Thanksgiving for 4 years now, and each year it does get easier, but the pressure to not burn the Turkey is always present. You can undercook the string beans and over cook the potatoes... but whatever you do, DON'T MESS UP THE TURKEY! My mother never used a meat thermometer.

Wouldn't it be nice to extend the use out of some of these infant items? When I found out about ...
