I think most mommies can say that their wants have gone on the back-burner since having kids. Gone are the my days of designer handbags and department store makeup. I still love pretty things, but my budget is limited and diapers take precedence over high-end accessories. I just fell in love with a Ramiro Encizo black clutch bag that is just perfect for a night on the town, or a formal event. The Jamila Clutch in glazed sapphire python is so ...

Give The Gift of Netflix This Season!
Now that winter is in full swing, we are home more, and have even started family movie nights with the kids. My husband and I found ourselves constantly ordering movies through our cable box and decided it was getting a bit expensive, so we started looking into unlimited viewing subscriptions that would cater to everyone's viewing preferences in the house. A few of our friends have recommended Netflix, so we decided to join the bandwagon and ...
Deck The Halls With Nick Jr. Favorites! (Giveaway!)
Does your child love Nick Jr? How about adding some friendly faces into their Christmas stocking this year? My toddler has quickly become intrigued by anything that has to do with the holidays, and when she sees her favorite characters on TV talking about their holiday traditions, I know she is getting something educational out of it, as well as entertaining. Her favorite Nick Jr. show use to be The Wonder Pets, but now she thinks it's only for ...
Smart Apps Make Learning Fun! #CypherKidsClub #CBias
I've heard of augmented reality, but I still hadn't check it out yet. I figured with the changes in how kids learn, and their dependency on technology, it was time to break the ice and check out the latest in learning trends. If you haven't seen them yet, learning cards work with your smart devices, such as iPhones, iPods, iPads, and even with the camera on your computer! They are a great way to bring information to life and make a real-world ...
I’m Taking a Break This Weekend
I didn't realize it was as bad as it soon became... The news from Sandy Hook Elementary is weighing heavy on my heart this evening. I took my little girl to school this morning and headed to my mom's for a few hours. I don't watch much TV, and if my mom wasn't home, I probably would not have turned on the television... but how could you not hear the tragedy that struck this Connecticut elementary school? It's all over Facebook. I saw the news ...
Make it a @BaskinRobbins Holiday!
Every weekend my hubby and I have dinner with either his parents or mine. It's nice for the kids to spend time with their grandparents and it's awesome to get a day off from cooking and doing the dishes. I know some families have a traditional family dinner once a week, but with us it's almost an impromptu, but expected family dinner. Does that make sense? We never plan it until the day of, but if we don't visit our parents then we might get that ...
Pajanimals Are Here!
A few weeks ago, I was flipping through the OnDemand channels for kid's shows and came across Pajamimals. I hadn't heard of them before, but decided to put on something new for my tot while I prepared dinner. My toddler started off by saying, "this is for babies" but was immediately intrigued by the friendly characters on the screen. I wasn't too sure what they were all about, but as I was listening in, they were singing songs and teaching life ...
Stomp Stomp Stompeez Giveaway!
My daughter is at an age where she sees things on TV and has to have them. Everything. It's been pretty easy to patronize her and tell her "ok" each time, and she doesn't whine, complain, or remind us that we promised her every item. Yet... Except for one thing. Stompeez. Each time she sees a commercial for Stompeez slippers she says, "remember, you said you would get them for me!" Thankfully Santa will be here in under two weeks and her can ...
