Don't put baby on their belly to sleep. Don't wake a sleeping baby. Don't co-sleep with baby.All this information we are bombarded with between the last push and the ride home. Halo makes one thing easy: keeping baby warm and safe!When I was pregnant my first purchase was actually a Halo Sleep Sack. I found it at an after Christmas sale at one of the big baby stores and only paid $5 for it (remember - this is a savings blog for a reason!) The ...

Apple Pork Spare Ribs recipe
I don't think I ever mentioned this, but my family is originally from Europe. Cyprus to be exact (we are Greek). Traditional Greek recipes come out of the oven, not from a crock pot. I never saw a slow cooker in my life - that is until I got married and someone decided to buy it for us. I stored it away in a closet for about a year. A friend had suggested a few recipes for me to try and raved about how much she loved her crock pot. I decided to ...
Whats for dinner Thursday?
The first thing I think about in the morning when I wake up is "What's for dinner." I often ask my husband what he wants for dinner in the morning and he thinks I'm out of my mind (he's probably right.) This morning I planned on making macaroni with meat sauce. I knew I had ground beef on hand - and pasta.. so this was an easy decision. When I checked the fridge, I had no parsley and no tomatoes. So I had to think of an alternative. I had a bag ...
Boon Potty Review and Giveaway!
Baby Shower Extravaganza:Boon Potty Review and Giveaway!It's Potty Training time in our house! I have NO idea what I am doing. As a matter of fact, I think Little Luna has more of an idea than I do. She announces every time she dirties her diaper, so I started showing her the potty. Every day she sits on her Boon Potty and "practices." A few times she was successful and this made her want to go more! I have tried 2 potties for her: The ...

I went to the Macy’s Spring Career Fashions Event at Roosevelt Field Mall in Garden City, NY on Saturday.

By Appointment and Bifen Xu, Fashion Editor at New York Magazine hosted the event. They gave tips on budgeting for your wardrobe while still being able to ...
Customer Service: Like or Dislike?
I just wanted to let everyone know about utilizing customer service when you have a problem with a company.On Saturday I was trying to purchase the Step 2 Kitchen for Little Luna. This set would have come with a free Golf and Baseball set ($19.99 value). I had received a 20% Toys R Us coupon in the mail Saturday morning and thought this was a great opportunity to use my Cookie.com Toys R Us credit I had gotten.So I looked up the item I ...

Spring Fever = Spring Cleaning!
This happens EVERY year. The sun comes out and even though it's still only 30 degrees outside, I get that little ounce of excitement. Spring is just around the corner. I LOVE Spring! This is my nesting time every year. I pull down all the curtains and throw them in the wash, I take the shades off and scrub them down in the tub. I open all the windows - and then get yelled at by my husband who reminds me that it is STILL only 30 degrees out. ...
