Life with toddlers is really hard, I am sure I don't need to tell you. There are times when you simply cannot get home in time to put baby down for a nap. My little girl often falls asleep while I am out running errands. I usually drape a receiving blanket over her stroller so she can get a restful sleep, but it often falls down and just doesn't fit right over the stroller. Snoozeshade has to be one of the best inventions. It blocks your ...

Ravi Wine Chiller Review
I know it seems taboo- but I love my wine chilled. Whether it is red, white, or rose, I feel that when it is chilled, the true personality of the wine comes out. When I heard about the Ravi Wine Chiller, I knew I HAD to try it out. Most of my friends are ok with warm wine, so I liked the idea that the entire bottle of wine did not have to be chilled - so everyone could enjoy it their way. The most difficult aspect of trying out the Ravi was ...
Flip Flop Wines Review
I was never a big wine drinker until I spent more time with my hubby’s family. Wine is a big part of their social gatherings, whether it is a backyard barbecue or a wedding. I do not consider myself a connoisseur of any sort – all I know is what I like and I always stick to the same brands of wine. Whether I have white or red wine, it has to be cold – some people like to taste the bold complexities of a room temperature red wine – but I can still ...
Did you breastfeed?
As many of you may know, I have been approved by Medela to be a Medela Mom Maven. I have qualified for this title through my experience of exclusively nursing my baby until she was 12 months old.

Now that I am ...

Steps4Kids DVD Review and Giveaway
Being raised in a family of teachers, my daughter, nieces, and nephews have someone in just about every subject to help them out in any school subject where they may need some extra help. Sometimes a one on one session just isn't enough when it comes to education, and children need to use other tools that will hopefully make the information just "click." Steps4Kids multiplication DVD offers visuals - which is very important when learning any ...
Keurig Brew over Ice Review
You already know how much I love my Keurig coffee maker but ever since I discovered Brew Over Ice K-Cups I've been in Iced Tea heaven! I love FRESH iced tea and I never opt for the bottled stuff because it just doesn't taste like tea-more like an over-sugared drink. I usually brew a batch and let it sit in the fridge for a few hours before I have my perfect iced tea with just a touch of sugar and a hint of lemon. Now, what if I can have a ...
