I first discovered Zoobies Plush Pets about a year and a half ago, and I instantly wanted one so bad!  And not just for my sweet little daughter – I wanted one for me!  I’ve always loved stuffed animals, and I think that whoever thought this concept up is a genius. Anyone who has ever...

I dream one day of making my own quilt.  Right now I don’t have the skill or the patience for such a thing, but I hope one day I will have both!  Until then, there is always another option – purchasing a quilt!  Now I have purchased quilt-type bedspreads from department stores, but really...

I am officially in love with BeautyFix.  This exclusive beauty club is THE way to try out the season’s hottest beauty products!  And not only is it FUN, it’s affordable! If you, like me, have seen pricey new beauty products (that you really, really want to try) on the shelves or at your...

I’m so excited to be featuring another wonderful mom-run Etsy shop!  I love supporting other moms when purchasing for my daughter, and I love that what I’m purchasing is handmade with care. And I LOVE buying dresses! Introducing Auntie Bubbles, home of affordable, fashionable outfits...

If I could have all wooden toys for my kids, I would.  Wooden toys and puzzles promote children using their imaginations rather than relying on push-button instant entertainment, something we have too much of nowadays.  This is one of the reasons I love places like ImagiPlay, toy companies that provide...

I’m a self-proclaimed Etsy addict.  Whenever I am in the market for something that can be purchased handmade from another mom, I first check Etsy, a place where anyone can put their handmade goods up for sale!  My experience there has been very positive, with a few exceptions.  The key to...

If you haven’t heard about the Pookster and Bubs series of books yet, you and your children are truly missing out!  But have no fear, I’m about to enlighten you.  After all, no one keeps their favorite books a secret, right?  Book-lovers are among the most pushy of all the people I’ve...

I’m a lover of all all things sparkly, and have been a fan of Swarovski crystals ever since I saw my first glimmering crystal!  My mom makes jewelry and she showed me her stash of crystals in almost every color – so beautiful!  These crystals are special, they are real.  They sparkle...

I am generally **not** a dress person.  I don’t know why, but I’ve never been comfortable in them.  Probably because I’m a bit of a tomboy – I’d rather be climbing trees or riding horses, and how can you do that in a dress? But this dress… oh this lovely dress…...

I’ve never met a Skin Free brand skin care product that I didn’t LOVE.  This is a natural beauty line that I want to use constantly and if there’s a product I haven’t tried yet, I won’t rest until I have! I’ve worked with the wonderful Julie from Skin Free before...

Up until now, I hadn’t listened to much of Sarah McLachlan’s music beyond what I heard on the radio.  So when I was invited to review her new album, Laws of Illusion, it was only natural that I decline politely.  But something about the album caught my attention (probably the beautiful...

I recently was given the opportunity to try Dove’s new line of hair care products, Dove Damage Therapy.  This line includes the Dove Intensive Repair Shampoo and Conditioner System, Dove Daily Treatment Conditioner, and the Dove Damage Therapy System (formulated for specific hair types). Here’s...

I live in a very rainy part of the U.S.  In fact, the last 9 months have been nothing but rain!  So, having a restless two-year-old on my hands who loves to be outside and doesn’t care a bit about the weather has had this mommy thinking about cute and practical rain gear for kids.  You’d...

I love the concept of eShakti – they are all about creating clothing that flatters you.  Have you ever wondered to yourself whether you’ll ever find a pair of pants or a certain style of shirt that looks good on and actually fits you?  Well, it’s certainly hard to find if you’re...
