I love spending time with my little girl baking cookies and sweet treats. Before I was a mommy, I spent many hours in the kitchen coming up with delightful concoctions of indulgent goodies, and my hubby, aka my taste tester, never complained! I love the versatility of a simple pound cake. You can decorate it, color it, flavor it, you name it! I have a basic recipe from The Road to Blue Ribbon Baking by Marjorie Johnson that I love to use, and I ...

Seventh Generation Baby Care Products
Little treasures in our Christmas stocking was a special tradition my mom started with us, and I have continued it with my own children. When I was a kid, we were allowed to open only our stocking gifts until everyone else was awake to open presents together on Christmas day. My kids aren't old enough to truly enjoy this tradition each morning, but my toddler is excited to see what the big man (or woman) leaves in her stocking. Even my littlest ...
Prep & Landing and Naughty vs Nice Review
If you really want to get in the spirit this holiday season, be sure to check out Prep & Landing on DVD and Blu Ray. This movie is a hit with my toddler who is definitely into the holiday spirit and loves to watch elf movies. The fun characters in Prep & Landing had her giggling the entire time, and she asks to watch it almost everyday! Check out the synopsis for both shows below: Prep & Landing On Christmas Eve, a high-tech team ...
Gorgeous Centerpieces for Your Thanksgiving Table
When it comes to Thanksgiving dinner, the only thing on my mind is the menu. Since my mother and mother in law have decided that I will be taking over Thanksgiving, it has been a little overwhelming trying to place everyone at the table, as well as not mess up one of the most important dinners of the year. That's a lot of pressure to put on a person! My husband is always the one that thinks about holiday decor, or at least centerpieces. He's ...
Meet Ubooly, The Newest Virtual Friend (And Win One Too!)
We've adopted a new member to our family! Her name is Ubooly and she is now our resident pet! My toddler has been begging me for a cat for some time now, but I'm not sure I'm ready to commit to all the needs of a real pet. When Ubooly showed up at our doorstep, I "prepped" my toddler. I told her that Ubooly has needs, just like a "real" pet and must be taken care of. I had already downloaded the Ubooly app for her onto her iPod Touch, and ...

It’s RSV Season. Keep Your Baby Safe #protectpreemies #rsv
It's that time of year again. The time of year where we bundle up before heading out and sanitize our hands after every encounter with people that seem to be sniffling or coughing. It is also the time of year where RSV becomes a real threat to children under two. RSV stands for respiratory syncytial virus and can be fatal in babies, especially those who are premature. Premature babies, those who are born before 37 weeks of gestation, may not ...
The Perfect “Road Trip” Car #kiasocialclub @Kia
Content and/or other value provided by our partner, Kia Motors This coming February my husband and I are planning to take our family on a road trip down the east coast. We will be renting a car for this trip and have so many options to choose from, I was a little overwhelmed at first. After thinking of our family's needs, and crazy fuel prices, I decided a crossover vehicle would be best for us. One of the cars at the top of my list is the ...
