Have you ever slathered a toddler with sunscreen only to realize that they look like you threw them in powder? I tend to over-do it with the sunscreen and my little girl always looks like Casper by the time I am done with her. As much as I rub in the sunscreen, her skin is still sticky and white from the zinc. Smart Girls Who Surf came out with a Kid-friendly, non-whitening mineral sunscreen that has a broad spectrum UVA/UVB protection. By ...

Atopalm Review
My skin has a mind of its own. In the summer I have mostly combination skin and in the winter my skin leans toward the dryer side. Because of this, I am very careful about what I use on my face - because I tend to break out with certain products that are made for dry skin due to the over powering moisturizers that clog my pores. I had the opportunity to review Atopalm products which are specifically made for dry, sensitive, or sun damaged ...
Experience Heavy Monthly Bleeding? You have options!
As women, we have many different "pet names" for our monthly visitor. from my own experience, I would hate to give something that gives me so much grief, a pet name - after all, aren't pet names usually reserved for someone we love? After speaking with my friends, I know that I am not alone when I say that I dislike going to the gyno VERY MUCH. I often want to be in and out, and usually do not ask all the questions I probably should ask. When ...
Have you ever had yellow watermelon?
Nothing screams out summertime like a cool, refreshing watermelon. Did you know that watermelon also comes in a yellow variety? When I was younger and we would spend summers at the beach house, I remember my mother would get us a sweet yellow watermelon every once in a while. I think the last time I had a yellow watermelon was when I was about 8 years old. I have been telling my hubby about this mystical yellow watermelon for years. I hadn't ...
Go Diego Go Fiercest Animal Rescues
This has to be the BEST Diego movie out there. We were fortunate to preview this one before its release on July 19th. We thought we would share the pleasure with friends of ours who have a son who is almost 4 and a daughter my daughter's age. They couldn't get enough of this video! I cannot believe that the three kids sat for the entire running time of 92 minutes. As soon as the credits ran for each episode, there was a request for more Diego, ...
My Baby Clothes Boutique Review and Giveaway
One of the joys of having a little girl is dressing her up in cute outfits! When she was born, I knew that we would have a lot of fun dressing her up, and I loved to put cute baby headbands in her hair because she was born with A LOT of hair! I didn't realize how much of a fashion diva she was until recently. Just a few weeks shy of her 2nd birthday, she is pretty demanding when it comes to dressing her. She will not put clothes on that she ...
This time, last year
This time last year I was beyond stressed. I had recently lost my job as a teacher and was scouring the internet and newspapers for prospective openings in my field. When people tell you, "Don't worry, it will work out for the better," it is hard to believe them when you are in the moment that torments you. I suppose this is how wisdom is earned - because as I sit here listening to hubby and my little girl demolishing blocks, I have a naive calm ...

This DVD set is so exciting, just in time for my little girl to turn two. This has really helped ramp up the excitement for her birthday. I am so excited that there are three games on these DVDs.

Amazon is selling it for $17.99 with free shipping and you get 9 episodes and 3 games. You can hardly ...
