Bebe au Lait Burp Cloths – Virtual Baby Shower

Bebe au Lait Burp Cloth

When I was pregnant with TJ I received a lot of burp cloths from friends at my shower.  I remember thinking to myself that there was no way possible that I would need all of these burp cloths.  Boy was I wrong!  It is amazing how much mess a little baby can make.  I went through several of those burp cloths a day!  Those moms sure knew what I needed.  I still have some of them, and I use … [Read more...]


The Mamaroo Review and Giveaway – Virtual Baby Shower

Mamaroo plush

Call me shallow, but one of the first things that I thought about after finding out that I was pregnant was the fact that I could now get a Mamaroo!  I have been drooling over this swing/bouncer for over a year now just wishing I had a baby so that I could buy one.  I mean just look at it!  It is modern, yet functional all at the same time. The only infant seat that moves “like you do,” … [Read more...]


The Pong iPad2 Case

Pong iPad2 Case

Do you ever worry about too much radiation exposure?  I mean, we are using cell phones, laptops, and numerous wireless devices that we have to be experiencing some kind of exposure.  I have worried about it as I have been typing on my laptop on my lap for over a year (I finally have it set up at my dining room table instead of the couch) I am sure that it has hurt my legs in some form or … [Read more...]

Summer Infant Slumber Buddies – Virtual Baby Shower

Summer Infant

One of the very first things that I registered for with TJ was a monitor.  Kinda silly now that I look back on it because our house is so small that you can literally hear anything that happens inside of it from most any place, but it did come in handy when we went on trips or if we were hanging out doing something outside while TJ was sleeping.  My last trip to the baby store included a walk … [Read more...]


Umi Baby Review and Giveaway – Virtual Baby Shower

Umi Marlane

Many of you already know about my obsession with children's shoes.  I absolutely love finding adorable shoes for my children.  TJ has been a little majorly rebelling about wearing anything cute.  He won't wear anything other than his Cars2 light up shoes.  It has been driving his mom crazy!  Now, with the upcoming arrival of little girl, I can once again buy adorable children's shoes without … [Read more...]


It’s Tax Time – X-ACTO Pencil Sharpener Shop #CBias, #XACTO

Our Home Office

I can't believe that it's that time again, tax season.  I can't say that it is my favorite time of the year, but it is necessary.  As a blogger, I have to round up all my receipts from the year and figure out how to claim it all.  We have a desk in the basement where we store all of our personal and blogging stuff for the year.  It is also my husband's retreat for when he wants to get on the … [Read more...]

Valentine’s Day With Red Envelope

I can't believe how fast the year has already gone, it is already the first of February.  Today at school all my kiddos were so excited about Valentine's Day.  I was trying to tell them all about the other holiday's this month, but they only had eyes for the 14th.  Who can blame them?  Valentine's Day is a day full of candy and love and presents!  It got me thinking that I only have a couple … [Read more...]
