My little nephew is such a man when it comes to toys. Everything has to be cars, trains, or sports. It is amazing to see the difference between him and my toddler princess, who loves pink, dolls, and tutus. Not that my little girl is opposed to playing with "boyish" toys, but she prefers toys that you can dress up rather than take apart. When I had both toddlers over for a playdate, I pulled out the Fisher Price Little People Lil' Fixer Ride On ...

Grilling Up Potatoes on The Barbecue!
Barbecue season is here! Every day I smell the aroma of grilled meat and I just crave it the nights we dont' barbecue. We throw just about anything you can think on the grill when we barbecue- burgers, steak, shrimp, chicken, pineapple, potatoes- you name it, it get's grilled! Yes, I just said POTATOES! How do you grill potatoes you may ask? Very easy! I tear open a bag of Ore Ida Grillers and throw them on the grill along with the other food. ...
Disney Princess Sparkle Dresses Available at Walmart!
I just got back from a mini vacation at our beach house. It was our first time traveling with both kids, but we learned from all the "over-packing" mistakes we made with my first baby so we were better prepared this time around. We also stopped packing food and we just hit the stores when we are closer to the house so that we don't have to worry about ice packs and coolers. It works out much better for us this way! We don't have WalMart in ...
Don’t Mess With My Iced Tea! (Recipes Included!)
I'm a water drinker. I don't like sugar, colors, or flavors in my beverages. When I go out to a restaurant with friends, I'm always the odd ball with my drink. Water, that's it... or unsweetened iced tea. Most waiters get it, and will brew me some hot tea and throw ice in it. Some don't believe when I say "unsweetened" and bring along an over-sugared bottled tea, and once I was asked if I wanted sugar in my unsweetened iced tea (my husband had to ...
Does Tria Blue Light Therapy Work?
For the past month I have been trying to get a clear complexion. I heard of the latest technology in blue light therapy and knew this was something I would love to try. I've suffered from horrible acne flare ups since I was a kid, and while I don't have extreme acne problems, I do have problem areas that just don't look great. My "spot" is not the infamous T-Zone, but rather my chin. An aesthetician once told me that chin flare ups have to do ...
Some Baby Items You Can’t Live Without! Diaper Pail Review
When I became pregnant with my first child, I knew there were a lot of baby items I would need, and others I could do without. Since we live in an apartment, I didn't want to clutter it with baby gear items that we would only use for a short time. Take for example the bassinet, bouncer, and swing. All these items have a very limited lifespan for a rapidly growing infant. I ended up with all three items, but in retrospect, the amount of time they ...
It’s a Puppet, No, It’s a Blanket, Wait- It’s a CuddleUppet!
Have you seen the commercials for the latest craze? The CuddleUppets are on every child's list this year, mine included. My toddler saw the commercial and just had to have one of these fun blankets that have a cute puppet attached. Remember those little lovies your baby had as an infant? The CuddleUppet is just like an infant lovie, but much bigger in size. Even older children love to cuddle up to something soft when they are ...
Treating Summer Booboos On the Go!
Last year my toddler did something seemingly funny- she walked into a concrete wall, knees first. Now, it was funny to my hubby because he always mocks that she is just as clumsy as her mama. It wasn't so funny to me because even though she didn't cry, she was left with a bloody knee. Now, if you remember being a kid, scraped up knees were just a part of growing up. Some may even say it's a sign that your child is actually having fun. My toddler ...
