Happy Holidays!

December 23, 2011

Yeah, so, I ripped that picture off my blog from a post that’s 4 years old.  (I can’t believe I’ve been blogging that long either.  It might not be top quality, but at least I’m not a quitter!)  Why no picture of my tree this year?  It’s in pretty sad shape right now, actually.  I [...]

My Oral-B Stages playdate & MommyParty

I recently hosted a Winnie the Pooh ”MommyParty” for Oral-B Stages.  Basically that means that Oral-B Stages provided me with some materials to host a fun play date.  I had a Winnie the Pooh viewing party, where we watched the new movie.  We also had some snacks and, of course, play time.  First we set up, popping popcorn [...]

Oh hello December…

December 13, 2011

…and hello blog readers.  I actually haven’t forgotten about you.  I’ve just been….well, doing all those things that you’re probably doing.  The holidays do seem to get busier every year, but accomplishing those holiday related tasks gets exponentially more difficult the more children you have.  And I only have two.  Imagine if I had five–I [...]

I chose the Medallion Print Leggings in [...]

Sam’s Club vs Amazon Mom

November 16, 2011

Recently my sister turned me on to Amazon Mom.  It’s basically free Amazon Prime membership (free 2-day shipping) if you purchase items in Amazon’s baby store.  There’s also special “subscribe and save” prices on items that you can get regular shipments of, like diapers and wipes.  The best thing about that is you can get [...]

Giveaway! Holiday Cards from Shutterfly

November 6, 2011

Since I got married in 2005, I’ve been a stickler for sending Christmas cards.  It’s just one of those nice things that help spread holiday cheer and keep friends a little bit more in touch.  I’ve done pictures of us with a dog, pictures of us with Rayna, and last year just Rayna.  This year [...]

Wordless Wednesday – A Toy Story Halloween

November 2, 2011

I thought Raggedy Ann & Andy would be totally adorable for my pair, but who am I kidding?  Rayna took one look at the Halloween costume catalog when it came in the mail (after I ripped out the scary pages—seriously, Walking Dead costumes for children!?  I sure hope little kids aren’t watching that show!) and [...]

Giveaway! Fall Recipes with Libby’s Vegetables

October 31, 2011

I love pantry recipes.  It’s so easy to have the ingredients on hand all the time, so you can rely on them on nights when you might be tempted to order take out instead.  Recently I was contacted by Libby’s Fruits and Vegetables about their recipe-filled website www.GetBacktotheTable.com.  Get Back to the Table has a [...]
