That dreaded word: recalls. After having a baby I get that pain in the pit of my stomach when I hear that there was a new recall from a major company. Some recalls seem silly to me, while others are very serious. When I purchased my daughter's crib, about 3 years ago, I didn't realize that the side of the crib didn't drop down. I felt so stupid for not looking into this and going ahead with such a big purchase. I blamed it on pregnancy brain and ...

Love the Moment in Virginia Beach this Summer #momsloveabeach
My hubby and I have been trying to figure out where we are going to vacation this summer. We want to stay "local" as in wherever we go we cannot fly because we will have an infant with us. Last year we took a trip with my toddler that was about 4 hours away and it was great. We planned a group trip with two other couples and their kids. We all had a lot of fun and we are looking to do something similar this year. I hear a lot ...
Family Game Night Idea: Bop It XT (Giveaway!)
When you have preschool aged children, family game night seems to be every night! Once your little one is off to school and you are settled into an after school routine of homework, dinner, shower, bedtime, then you should designate a little time each week to connect with the family. Family Game Night is a great idea to keep lines of communication strong and relationships healthy. A few years ago a coworker introduced me to Bop It, which is ...
Country Dance All Stars on Kinect for Xbox Review
I'm a city girl and not much into country music, but when you combine dancing with the Kinect for Xbox, then even this city girl will throw on a pair of cowboy boots! If you have a Kinect, then you know its all about being interactive and letting you move hands free. I love these types of "games" that get you out of your seat and moving, especially on cold rainy days when it is hard to get in some much needed exercise. Speaking of exercise, it ...
Gogo’s Crazy Bones DS Review and Giveaway!
I had no clue who Gogo was, let alone what he does with his crazy bones, but when I asked my 7 year old nephew about Gogo, his eyes lit up in excitement and he started rambling about figurines and then ran up to his room and brought me a tin box full of them. I still don't get it, but as with any new trendy game there is always a lot of hype and many ways to play across various platforms. The latest for Gogo's Crazy Bones is on Nintendo DS. ...

Taylor Joelle Designs: Baby Onesie outfit Review and Giveaway!
Having a baby means you can have a lot of fun playing dress up and taking adorable pics of your little one! I was just looking through old pictures of my toddler when she was an infant and all the adorable outfits she had. This was before she chose to play dress up all on her own. I guess I created a monster, because after trying on various outfits, she will always ask me to take a picture of her because she says she looks cute! Taylor Joelle ...
Holiday Gift Guide Sponsor: Disney Princess Ultimate Dream Castle
My little girl is quickly learning about princesses, castles, and everything that comes along with them. At two, I feel that she is too young to really understand, but when she puts on a dress, she tells me she is a princess! She is becoming increasingly fascinated by all things princess, and this holiday season I wanted to get her something special that reflects her personality and fosters her curiosity. Since she can spend hours a day playing ...
