If you're new here, I hope you'll subscribe to my RSS feed so you won't miss any fantastic giveaways! :) Thanks to Mom Central and Huggies, I was given the opportunity to test two new Huggies products on my 15-month-old diaper-annihilator, Isaac.  Huggies is my go-to brand for diapers because they fit...

Emma is totally horse-crazy.  I’m not sure where it originated, though I suppose I may have encouraged it… a bit.  ;-)  I had a horse as a teen so I think they’re the coolest animals on earth.  But Emma developed a natural love of them, and has been collecting everything horse-related...

A few months ago, I was being repeatedly plagued awakened by my 3-year-old daughter who would come bounding into my bedroom at unholy hours of the morning ready for the day.  This of course woke her 1-year-old brother (who still resides in my room at night).  Let the weeping and gnashing of teeth...

Sweet and simple jigsaw puzzles and artistic children’s books together – I love it!  My Birdie and My Bunny are two new puzzle books released by Abrams Books for Young Readers. The illustrations are bright and colorful and the stories are simple and whimsical: My birdie has one bright...

One of Baby Einstein’s newest baby/toddler toys (recommended for ages 6 months and older) is the Count and Discover Treasure Chest, a musical piggy bank type playset.  Isn’t it cute?  I love the “buried treasure” theme and the vivid colors! When Emma was a baby, she absolutely...

It’s Valentine’s Day!  Here’s what I had made for Isaac on his second Valentine’s Day ever… A personalized book from I See Me telling him who loves him and just how much!  I was able to add 6 names or sets of names so I chose Mommy and Daddy, his sister Emma, his grandma...

I’m one of those moms who can’t bear to see certain things go after my kids grow out of them.  Isaac’s first tiny booties.  Emma’s sweet classic Pooh bib with the ruffle.  Some of our favorite onesies and baby blankets.  There are some things that are irreplaceable, you know? ...

I know it’s 2012… this is the last addition to my gift guide (I was asked to delay the post until now).  :) Emma and I did something really fun last week.  We designed our own stuffed toy!  Thanks to Happy Toy Machine, we were given the ability to make any kind of toy be it animal,...

I’ll admit I was skeptical about this craze when I first heard about it.  Fashionable jewelry that doubles as a teether for your baby?  Is it really something that would benefit both mom and baby, or is it a money-making scheme?  I wasn’t sure, so I decided to test it out myself.  And...

I always recommend the HALO SleepSack as a total necessity for new moms.  I’ve used these wonderful zip-up wearable blankets with both my babies and they are awesome for keeping little toes warm in the cold winter months!  They’re not just for cool nights, though, they keep baby covered...

The second season of Shaun the Sheep is finally available on DVD!  YES!  If you read my blog regularly, you know that my whole family adores this series.  My husband is the one who introduced me to Wallace and Gromit, and I in turn introduced him to Shaun and his sheep friends, pig enemies, and the...

Am I the only one who has a problem finding cold weather footwear that actually stays on a baby’s feet, keeps his or her toes cozy and warm, and is easy to put on?  Leather shoes are usually too thin or leave a chilly gap between the hem of my son’s pants and the top of the shoe, and baby...

A Rockin’ Rider Deluxe Talking Spring Horse from Tek Nek Toys! I have always wanted a spring horse!  Okay, I mean when I was a kid I wanted one.  ;-)  But I still think they are the coolest toys ever, and was beyond thrilled when I was given the opportunity to review one!  My horse-crazy...

Find out how to get a free Dragon Knight umbrella at the end of this post! I’ve been a fan of Kidorable’s stylish rain gear for kids ever since Emma received her first set (raincoat, boots, and umbrella) from them when she was 2.  Their products are available in many fun themes that will...
