I really love hammock swings.  They are different (and in my opinion, much more superior) than regular hammocks because: 1.  You can completely relax in one without worrying about flipping out. 2. You can spin around in circles on a hammock swing, making it more fun for kids.  Do I recommend this,...

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? ...

Who knew there were so many recipes for dishes that could be made in a rice cooker?  I sure didn’t!  I was recently given the opportunity to review this awesome cookbook – 300 Best Rice Cooker Recipes by Katie Chin.  I love my rice cooker, so I was looking forward to trying some of the...

  If you’ve been to Target recently, you may have walked by the aisle full of Giada De Laurentiis‘ brand new line of bakeware, cooking tools, and food.  Who is Giada, you ask?  Why, only one of my favorite Food Network chefs with her own cooking show dedicated to Italian cuisine! ...

If you haven’t yet used Seventh Generation’s natural green cleaning products, this is a post you shouldn’t miss.  I’ve used their baby products and household cleaning products before and have been very happy with them!  The attraction to this brand for me is the fact that they...

If you’re a mom (or dad), stains are well-known to you.  You’ve probably felt frustration at the fact that a favorite dress or outfit of your child’s was stained and you just can’t get it out.  I’ve certainly been there multiple times!  Especially when you have a little...

Clara Nilles is the artist behind these fun, colorful animal prints.  I’ve fallen in love with them! Clara paints sea life, African animals, farm animals… she’s not afraid to tackle anything!  I’m an avid animal lover, but I never thought of having crabs on my wall.  However,...

When I was a kid, I had a special chair of my very own.  In a world of adults, I was thrilled with this miniature version of my parents’ chairs and sat in it as often as I could.  I loved it! Now I have my own little girl and she has a mini folding chair that is just her size.  She feels...

I’ll admit it – as a mommy I depend very much on my caffeine intake to get me through the day.  My caffeinated beverage of choice?  Coffee!  But I’m very picky when it comes to coffee.  In fact, I didn’t think Starbucks could be beat as far as taste went until recently. ...
