My hubby always makes fun of me when I rave about appliances I love. He says "that's such a MOM answer- maybe I can get you a vacuum for Christmas!" What he doesn't realize is that yes, as a mom, appliances ARE important. They simplify my life. The right vacuum makes cleaning up easy. The perfect dishwasher will save me a backache from leaning over a sink. The best washer and dryer will save us money and clean clothes effectively. Appliances are ...

Baptism Invitations by Tiny Prints
It seems that the little things happen so fast. I was pregnant, had my little girl, celebrated her birth and shared her announcements, and now I'm planning her Christening. I'm not sure exactly what I want to do- I love butterflies, but it will be in the fall, so autumn butterflies? I have so much to do: lose the rest of this baby weight, get a dress for myself and my tot, book entertainment, and order centerpieces. One thing is a no-brainer: ...
Back to School with HP!
Last weekend marked the end of summer, back to the old grind of hitting the books, making sure pencils are sharpened, and ink tanks are filled. My hubby and I are no exception. With college classes starting earlier than younger grades, we are back to routine before anyone else. We know too well what procrastination does; you know, when you are suppose to hand in a paper tomorrow but waited until now to print it, only to find out that you ran out ...
Back to School with Masterlock!
I'm sure you are not surprised to hear that theft happens in a majority of schools nationwide. Most middle and high school students are required to bring a lock for their locker to minimize theft and keep their items protected. Teachers aren't exempt from this, and many times they also need a reliable lock to safeguard their property. My husband is required to have a lock to keep his items safe in his classroom, so he needed a reliable lock for ...
SleepSafe Tips for Baby + HALO SleepSack Giveaway!
September is Baby Safety Month! I think that parents generally try to exercise safety at all times with their children, but it is nice to have a month where safety precautions can be shared and parents can learn tips that would ensure the safety of their child. One of my biggest fears when I had my oldest daughter was SIDS. I heard so much about it and even had a friend who's relative died at a young age from SIDS. There are so many theories and ...
Safe Play Time with CUBIKALS {Giveaway}
Keeping baby safe isn't only for sleep time or travel time, it is also during PLAY TIME! Now that I have an infant that is becoming more mobile by the minute and insists on tasting everything, I am more conscious about which toys my toddler plays with. Toys for older children tend to have smaller parts which make them a choking hazard., so I tend to be wary when purchasing these types of toys. While my toddler is 3 years more advanced than my ...
Baby Safety Month: MAM Baby Products
You might remember my post about MAM pacifiers and the ability to personalize them. These were the first pacifiers I made for my newborn, but since there was a size smaller in the MAM pacifier product line, I decided to give her the newborn pacifiers first. Within a few weeks she had outgrown her newborn pacifiers and started taking the next size and I was finally able to introduce her to the personalized "Mute Button" pacifier I made her. My ...
Applegate Deli Meats {Giveaway-2 Winners!}
Healthy eating is a top priority in my household. That doesn't mean that we don't indulge or enjoy foods that might be considered unhealthy, but the majority of our produce is organic, and our meats are generally antibiotic, hormone, and steroid free, and may also be grass fed. Some may think that eating this way may be expensive, but the fact is that the impact it has on your health in the long run is much more important than the price tag. ...
