My mother always says to me, "We never had ______ (fill in the blank) and we managed just fine. While I agree with her that simple usually is best most of the time, I really can't go back to using an ordinary washer and dryer. My Whirlpool washing machine is about 80% smarter than my old washing machine in ways I never thought would matter in an appliance. Whether I have a stain in my toddler's favorite leggings or a shirt that really should be ...

Holiday Gift Guide: The Story Nook Giveaway
I use to be an avid reader until I hit college. At that point I just didn't have time to read for enjoyment and I never really got back into reading since then. After my little girl was a few months old, I started reading stories to her. I would enjoy taking walks to the local bookstore with her to pick out a new board book for her to chew on, and for me to read to her. Now that she is two, she is picking out her own books and choosing stories ...

Holiday Gift Guide: Mint Automatic Floor Cleaner
Quite a few of my friends have automatic floor cleaners and I have always been skeptical about them. I don't understand them - how do they know where to clean, what not to bump into, and whether or not they missed a spot? Not one of my friends have ever complained about their floor cleaner, so I suppose they must be working well. As a matter of fact, they usually have great things to say about them. When I was contacted to ...

Holiday Gift Guide: Family Games!
When the family gets together during the holidays and the kids are all together, you need some way of entertaining the sugar-rushed, over excited younger generation. There are two holiday games this year that make a great family bonding experience. Lumps is a fast paced dice game that challenges players to make risky decisions with every roll. To start off, the player gathers all the pieced of coal shaped dice in their hands, and toss them. ...
Holiday Gift Guide: Neuro
My hubby is not really an H2O kinda guy. He enjoys drinks that have some flavor and is usually reaching for those drinks with the added vitamins, hoping they may help him in some way. I've always been skeptical about drinks like that, but he enjoys them so we always have over-sugared, brightly (artificially) colored "vitamin" drinks at home. Lately, his hours have been hectic, and he stays up most of the night to get his work done. His new ...

We LOVE PlayDoh in my home. This is the one thing that can keep my toddler occupied long enough for me to clean the bathroom or get dinner in the oven.

We love it so much, that on her second birthday, all our guests walked away with a Play Doh duffle bag loaded with Play Doh and enough accessories to keep any child busy for a good amount of time. When we were asked to review the new ...
