My son's current obsession is trains. He has a train set that he puts together almost everyday and will play with his trains for about an hour at a time. He loves his "choo choos." When I heard that Thomas the Train would be within driving distance of Indianapolis, I knew I had to take the boys. So, a couple of weekends ago I took TJ and his cousin to Connersville, IN to see Thomas. We … [Read more...]

I do not know what we would do without Mickey Mouse! My son absolutely adores Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. He even had a Mickey Mouse themed birthday party last month. He can sit through hours of the show without complaining or moving a muscle. He has seen most of the episodes a least a half a dozen times. I was so relieved when we were offered the chance to review the newest DVD, Mickey's … [Read more...]
We have been batteling exceama with my son since he was born. He has had skin issue after skin issue. We tried just about every cream and perscription available for a newborn. Luckily he has grown out of most of his skin issues, but we are also very careful what kind of lotions and detergents we are using. One of my favorite products that I purchased for TJ was his HALO® Technical … [Read more...]
I am still in shock that my little man turned two last weekend! It seems like just yesterday that we were looking through a book of Baby Names trying to figure out what we were going to name him! Of course I had to pick the perfect theme for my little guy and he loves nothing more (except for his daddy) than Mickey Mouse! I wanted to do something else, but I just couldn't when I saw how much … [Read more...]

Each Caillou episode is about a simple everyday life … [Read more...]
Coco is finally at the age where I feel that shoes are necessary for everyday living, rather than just being cute and for looks. Since he is all boy, I wanted to find a stylish yet comfortable pair of shoes that he could grow into and that he would actually keep on. Most importantly, I wanted to find protective footwear for him that would offer healthy assistance as his feet grew. When my … [Read more...]
I grew up on Welch's Grape Juice. I loved it as a kid, and still love it today. My son also loves grape juice (even dilluted with water) and is often the only source of fruit he gets (being the picky eater that he is). In honor of March and National Nutrition Month, Welch's is partnering with bloggers in a "Paint it Purple" contest. We received two bottles of Welch's 100% Grape Juice made … [Read more...]
When we found out that we were having a boy, I thought my husband and I would have to go through marriage counseling after trying to decided on a boy name. It was a difficult decision to name someone. We didn't want the name to be too cutesy because he would have to live with it for the rest of his life. We also wanted the name to be classic but not a name that we hear all the time. And … [Read more...]
