My oldest daughter love Christmas, and who can blame her? She can have Christmas all year long- the colorful tree, the music, and anything Christmas themed she will automatically gravitate towards. When it was 92 degrees out in the summer, she was playing a reindeer game on the iPad. When all the kids around her wanted Princess or Pirate themed birthday parties, she wanted a Rudolph birthday party. In September. So, when I asked her if she wanted ...

Come Over and Play With Peppa Pig and Friends!
Have you heard? Peppa Pig is all the rage amongst preschoolers! Everyone has their favorite character, Suzy Sheep being my preschooler's fave, and George Pig being my toddler's favorite. I always thought that Peppa Pig was a "just for fun" TV show as opposed to an educational show, but last month my oldest daughter said something that completely blew my mind, and when I asked her if she learned that in school, she replied that she actually heard ...
Making Holiday Memories with Build a Bear Workshop
My oldest daughter must have been about a year and a half the first time we went to Build a Bear Workshop. She was a little overwhelmed by everything the store had to offer, but within minutes she warmed up and picked out her first furry friend, Remy. Fast forward three years later and we have adopted many furry friends from Build a Bearworkshop. We visit for special occasions or when BABW has something new and exciting to offer. Our latest trip ...
Lalaloopsy Loopy Hair, Jewel Sparkles!
Do you have a Lalaloopsy fan in your life? My little girl jumped on the Lalaloopsy bandwagon last year when she started school and was introduced to Lalaloopsy from classmates. Once the show came on Nick Jr, the excitement for Lalaloopsy grew bigger as she was able to identify with the character. Lalaloopsy is a fun character who comes to life after she is sewn (she's a doll.) If you've ever seen Coraline, there's a few similarities between them, ...
Fun, Cute, and Cozy with #HALOSleepSack at Pottery Barn!
Both my daughters wore HALO SleepSacks from the very beginning. When the weather started to get cooler following the birth of my first daughter, I needed a way to safely keep her warm. Blankets were out of the question because I was afraid she would end up moving and having the blanket over her face. Once I discovered HALO SleepSacks, there was no going back. They were exactly what I was looking for and came in various sizes and levels of warmth ...
Pinypon Toys Know How to Party!
When it comes to toys, my daughter needs things that are always changing, otherwise she gets bored. Downloading free apps on the iPad has been an amazing tool at keeping her entertained, but imaginative play is just as important, if not more important at this age. We discovered Pinypon last year at a play date we hosted, and this is one toy my daughter always seems to go back to. She loves that she can change her character's hair, clothing, and ...
Give the gift of coffee this season and enter to win a Nescafe Dolce Gusto Genio! @DolceGustoUS #Giveaway #MC
Everyone that knows me online and offline knows that I love my coffee. I'm not a "give me any type of coffee" person either; it's got to be a perfect roast, at the right temperature. The way I take my coffee varies by the minute, and always reflects how I feel. The spunky, energetic, comfortable "me" loves a good iced coffee with a hint of sugar and milk. The cold-weather "me" that needs comfort likes a piping hot coffee with a few splashes of ...
