Most of my husband's family is overseas, and although he did not grow up with them, he does miss them a lot. The last time he saw them was about 5 years ago, when they came for our wedding. It was nice that they could share our special day with us! He often talks about missing them and wished they were able to watch our little girls grow. He speaks with them at least once a month, but seeing them is completely different than just having a phone ...

VTech Connect to Cell ! {Holiday Gift Guide}
If you are like me, and rely on your cell phone as your main phone, then I have a great device that will help you out when you are at home! While I usually have no problem using my cell phone when I'm out, I do experience issues at home. I can't talk on the phone when I'm in my kitchen because I don't have service. Ironically, this is where I spend most of the time on the phone- I usually talk to people when I am washing dishes or making dinner, ...

Vespa Cibobuono
A girlfriend of mine recommended this little Italian place on Northern Blvd that we would have never discovered without her suggestion. My husband is from Italy so it's never easy finding an Italian restaurant that isn't too “Americanized” or “old-fashioned Italian”. Vespa Cibobuono not only exceeded our expectations but has become our go-to date night spot. In fact, this past weekend was our 6th wedding anniversary. We wanted to go somewhere ...
Manage All Your GiftCards through Gyft & Win a Sephora or Amazon Gift Card!
I don't know about you, but I have become inundated with gift cards. I'm not complaining- I love the flexibility with gift cards and the ability to get whatever I want-apparently I'm a hard to shop for person! What I don't like is that it takes me FOREVER to use them because I'm not a shopper. If I happen to go to a store, it is not planned and I don't carry around all the gift cards I have. Fortunately, "there's an app for that!" Gyft is the ...
Shop Local During ASTRA’S #toystoreday
Where do you shop for your children's toys? Before I had kids of my own, I would shop at big name toy stores because that's all I knew. I don't think I paid less than retail during that time, and I didn't really know the difference between quality toys and run-of-the-mill toys. Now that I have my own children, I know how important quality toys are, as well as the benefits of shopping at local stores. ASTRA is celebrating their 3rd annual ...
Need Low Price Flooring? Check Out Floor & Decor
Right before we moved into our home, we had a lot of remodeling to do. Everything, down to the walls and floors were changed. We knew that this project would cost a lot more than we wanted to spend, so we looked into places where we could get discounts and low price flooring. Since it was the first time I ever had to remodel a home, I had no idea where to even begin. The first person I went to was my mom. She has remodeled her own home and had ...
