Product reviews, giveaways and helpful articles for moms
Lots of moms like me feel that we're just too busy to work out. Well, except for this cardio here: Besides toddler dance sessions, I just don't have time to get to the gym. Despite this, I long for a toned, taut look, and of course, I wish I had the time to 'indulge' in a little exercise to get there. Somehow, the dance parties and hauling Jack around just don't seem to whittle me away in any measurable amount. The good news is that Shatobu is here to our rescue. Now, I know … [Read more...]
The ladies (and gents) over at InStyleSwimwear.com were lovely enough to recently send me a beautiful beaded cuff bracelet earlier this month. They have a dizzying array of beautiful swimwear, footwear, cover ups and jewelry. I know not everyone is thinking about swimwear at this time of year, but we'll be ready to use it again in no time, so why not consider it for a Christmas or Hanukkah gift this year? I know that if I get away somewhere tropical this spring (here's hoping!) I'll be … [Read more...]
As much as I've suffered during this pregnancy with more pain and sickness than I had with my first, there's one thing that I have yet to endure: swollen feet. I think that has a lot to do with the seasons. The last time, I became severely swollen right away during the hot and humid summer months. This time, it's a bit cooler since I only just became pregnant in August. But with my luck, I'm pretty sure that I'm not out of the woods yet; There are still 4+ more months to go. That's not to … [Read more...]

The specialize in hair bands, upscale bobby pins, hair sticks ( love these, brings me back!), "you-pins," O-rings, and a lot more. You have to Go Shopping on their site to see all the cool things they have to offer. I selected the Flexi Clip Intricately Designed Dangle in medium. The Lilla Rose sizing … [Read more...]
Congrats to mframe! Ahoy-hoy! I'm in looooooooove, can I tell you? Something About Silver sent me a very special package last week, the Near My Heart hand stamped silver pendant necklace. And that's just where it's been hanging out since it's arrival - right near my heart - because I haven't taken it off. The presentation was lovely, to start. A linen bag with antiqued looking logo held my Near My Heart necklace, complete with pendants signifying my most near and dear - my … [Read more...]
Courtney D. is the winner! From May through September, I live in sandals. Most of the time I wear flip flops, but never anything with a closed toe. Nothing says easy, stress free living like America’s favorite summer shoe. Perhaps that’s why the majority of the shoes in my closet have always been sandals and flip flops.After perusing the selection of Okabashi footwear, I decided on the Splash sandals in black. They were just what I was looking for, a simple yet stylish thong … [Read more...]
When I take a quick trip to the store, I’ll often just bring my wallet in with me and leave my purse in the car. But I’m never more than a few feet away from my cell phone, so it usually gets squeezed into a pocket, if I have one available. Otherwise I tote it around in my other hand. It may sound crazy, but my smart phone is just as essential as my credit cards. Whether I use it to check best prices or send a photo to my husband to make sure I’m picking up the right … [Read more...]
Congrats to Megan! I’m often toting around a bag that doesn’t match my outfit because I didn’t have enough time to move the contents from one to another. Wouldn’t it be nice if your bag could transform itself so you didn’t have to worry about transferring your stuff? This is where the Miche bag becomes your new best friend. You buy your base bag, and can then choose as many different shells as you like. The base bags are available in three sizes: Mini, Classic and Big. Of … [Read more...]

Charming Xcess is a manufacturer that takes those silly bandz to the next level. Their Band Charmz have fun shapes that kids love to wear, but they are also adorned with silver-colored charms that go along … [Read more...]
Gift it to – any purse-lovin’ girl Sometimes I wish I had two of everything. Two sets of car keys, lip gloss, cell phones, coupon books, wallets – double the cash would be nice too. I’m not greedy, just insanely disorganized. During the week I use my diaper bag purse, but when I go off on my own I have to switch the essentials over to another bag, and most of the time I forget something. Usually it’s the thing I need the most. There’s a clever solution to this … [Read more...]
