My hubby and I grew up playing video games so it was only natural that we have a few gaming consoles in the house. We still enjoy playing video games with each other and we just introduced Wii games to my toddler. Yes, I know she's a bit young - but think of the first time you picked up your older sibling's Nintendo controller. You probably weren't older than five! I LOVE fantasy and role playing games, but for children 8 and older I think ...

Team Umizoomi Review
"You can watch anything on my belly belly belly screen!" That is my little girl's favorite line in the Team Umizoomi beginning credits. The music hypes her up for a half hour of learning solving math. Grandma, the math teacher, would be happy to see her getting excited over simple arithmetic in this action packed interactive adventure. The DVD contains four episodes, special features, a Math Mission card for on-the-go math problem solving and ...
The Simple Garden Review and Giveaway 3 Winners!!! (Rafflecopter test!)
Living in the city, I don't have much of a garden, although I am very fortunate to have the 5' x 10' patch of land that I can actually plant in. I have tried to plant a few things in there, but most things that do well are flowers and plants, not really crops. Before my little girl was born, I used her room as my "sun room" because it seemed to be the best environment for plants. I had a variety of orchids and plants for two years, and then when ...

Nutrisystem Week 10 #NSNation
I can't believe I am more than 1/2 way through the Nutrisystem program. It feels great shedding the extra pounds and I was actually surprised this past weekend when I put on my swimsuit and my belly was finally flat! I still have a lot of extra booty baggage I would love to let go of, but these Meditteranean thighs might be here to stay! I feel that I have a lot more energy and I am more satisfied when I eat. I find myself only grazing for ...
Aquadoodle’s new toys!
My hubby and I have been taking more weekend trips out to the beach house with our little girl. We try to pack as light as possible, which is an oxymoron when you have a toddler, but there are a few favorites that go with us on every trip. Items we take with us have 2 requirements: #1 - does not include too many pieces and #2- must be mess free. When we go to the beach house, the last thing I want to do is clean up MORE mess! My little girl loves ...

Keurig Giveaway: Christmas in July Sponsor – NOW OPEN!
I have a confession to make: I'm a coffee-holic. Apparently I have loved coffee since I was a kid, because my mom tells me that I use to beg her to give me some of hers. To please me, she would put a few drops of coffee in some milk to trick me. I love coffee even more, but I wouldn't exactly call myself a coffee connoisseur. There is something about the smooth aroma that entices my tastebuds. Just the smell of coffee alone is enough to excite my ...
