Nothing screams out summertime like a cool, refreshing watermelon. Did you know that watermelon also comes in a yellow variety? When I was younger and we would spend summers at the beach house, I remember my mother would get us a sweet yellow watermelon every once in a while. I think the last time I had a yellow watermelon was when I was about 8 years old. I have been telling my hubby about this mystical yellow watermelon for years. I hadn't ...

Go Diego Go Fiercest Animal Rescues
This has to be the BEST Diego movie out there. We were fortunate to preview this one before its release on July 19th. We thought we would share the pleasure with friends of ours who have a son who is almost 4 and a daughter my daughter's age. They couldn't get enough of this video! I cannot believe that the three kids sat for the entire running time of 92 minutes. As soon as the credits ran for each episode, there was a request for more Diego, ...
My Baby Clothes Boutique Review and Giveaway
One of the joys of having a little girl is dressing her up in cute outfits! When she was born, I knew that we would have a lot of fun dressing her up, and I loved to put cute baby headbands in her hair because she was born with A LOT of hair! I didn't realize how much of a fashion diva she was until recently. Just a few weeks shy of her 2nd birthday, she is pretty demanding when it comes to dressing her. She will not put clothes on that she ...
This time, last year
This time last year I was beyond stressed. I had recently lost my job as a teacher and was scouring the internet and newspapers for prospective openings in my field. When people tell you, "Don't worry, it will work out for the better," it is hard to believe them when you are in the moment that torments you. I suppose this is how wisdom is earned - because as I sit here listening to hubby and my little girl demolishing blocks, I have a naive calm ...
Dora’s Big Party Pack
This DVD set is so exciting, just in time for my little girl to turn two. This has really helped ramp up the excitement for her birthday. I am so excited that there are three games on these DVDs. My little girl is wanting to play on the computer, as she sees me blogging so much and this gives her the opportunity. This is also an incredible deal! Amazon is selling it for $17.99 with free shipping and you get 9 episodes and 3 games. You can hardly ...
Kiddie Academy Success Stories: Corey and Summer
It seems that people that are in their 20's are not taken as seriously as someone in their 40's when it comes to business ventures. I'm not sure why that is. Cory and Summer Bullock are living proof that the words "young" and "successful" can be used in the same sentence. Cory and Summer started their first Kiddie Academy franchise in Texas in the summer of 2008. They are the youngest business owners in the Kiddie Academy community. Cory and ...

Discovery Girls Magazine Review and Giveaway
It is very scary to have a daughter in today's society with all the influences that are out there. The magazines that feature size 00 women and the TV shows that are on TV-Y14 can be pretty scary to a mom of a young girl. I am happy to say that Discovery Girls is a really great influence! The first thing I noticed when I received the magazines is that the tweens look like tweens - not like overdone young girls that are made to ...
