I bought some Bic Soleil razors the other day. Who knew Bic made something else besides pens? The pink colored ones looked cheerful, so I put them in my basket and off I went. Once home, I saw they had lavender scented handles. Hmm, okay. I feel a little strange picking up my razor and […]

You know when you see products that make you say “I’m such a bad mom”? Well this is one of them! With my second child, I have become kind of laid back about my baby’s germ intake. Is it wrong that I let her eat food scraps right off a restaurant table (after wiping with […]

My wonderful aunt gave these Flash of Brilliance alphabet flash cards to my son when he was a baby. He spent many hours going through these thick glossy cards, looking at the colorful photos and learning so many new words and, of course, his alphabet. Later on, he got into the big photos of the […]

These kid-size utensils made me smile. And they smiled at me too! I think these would make a great gift for a special 3 or 4 year old. $42 at Uncommon Goods

In my quest to create a more organized home, I finally understand what a difference it makes to use boxes with lids. It seems like such a simple concept, but now that I understand this, I have sworn to never buy an open-top basket for storage again. I’ve learned that containers with lids are stackable, […]

I think I like these bags more than my kids do. My mom gave one to my son a few years ago. I especially love the little finger puppets that tuck into the pumpkin pocket. And since we kept the candy away from my son for his first few Halloweens, the size of the bag […]

I buy boatloads of these Antibacterial Wet Ones packets at Target. I was never one of those moms to use the “safe shopper” big blanket thingys with feet cutouts that lots of moms use to keep their babies germ-free in gunky highchairs and shopping carts.

I am a big fan of the “Life is good” product line. Their positive, carefree attitude and the colors and styles of all their tees, bags, and the rest of their cool stuff suits me perfectly. I was looking at their website today, and was quite happy to find the cutest long-sleeve pumpkin t-shirt ever. […]

Growing up in the middle of an area that was once an orange grove, my all time favorite memories are driving down the road in spring, windows wide open, inhaling the overpoweringly delicious orange blossom scent. So of course my favorite body product scent is neroli, or in non-spa terms, orange blossom. And one of […]
