Some people can be so difficult to buy for at holiday time, right? I have a solution that I want to share with you; I think it's perfect for so many people on your list - your boss, a coworker, your aunt, your cousin, even your main 'mo. Blue Sky just launched a special line of planners and calendar products with special designs by Egg Press. (Read Egg Press' blog about the coop here.) A word about the designs: bright, lovely colors grace this collection, with quality paper and … [Read more...]
I'm pretty brand-loyal when it comes to scented candles. When someone gifts me a scented candle by any other name, I snub it. Maybe I'm a candle-snob, if there is such a thing. So when my friend Maryann told me she was becoming a consultant for Gold Canyon Candles, I was skeptical. To be honest, I didn't think the brand would live up to my expectations, but I was surprised in a good way. I started burning my first Gold Canyon candle the other day, a 5-ounce jar of Mrs Claus's Kitchen … [Read more...]
Who doesn't love a beautiful hair accessory? (Scrunchies aside!) I hadn't heard of Lilla Rose until very recently, but they seem to be the hair accessory mavens of the moment. 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...]

I have been a diehard devotee to a certain leading brand of diapers since Jack came into this world a year and some change ago. I never even tried any others, honestly, just liked what I saw, then the usability, and I went full on loyalty from then on out. But Huggies recently offered me a trial of their Little Movers brand diapers, specifically, the Limited Edition Santa print, and how could I resist? Of course I said I would give them a whirl. I didn't know what to expect but I was … [Read more...]
Have you ever tried to bake a fancy new cake for your holiday host? The problem with fancy new cakes is that they sometimes take some practice. I don't know about you, but I want to make sure I'm presenting a host or gift recipient with something that's perfect and delicious. I can't always count on those two qualities when I'm trying to whip up something in my kitchen. So why not have Bake Me a Wish do all of the hard work? And they'll deliver it to your friend's door with a lovely … [Read more...]
Congrats to our winner Jennifer! When browsing the toy aisles of the department store, I see a lot of the same old stuff. The toys are great, and there are tons of things that appeal to my daughter, but sometimes you want to buy something a little unexpected. And I always find great, fun, unique gifts at HearthSong. Emmas favorite arcade game is skee-ball, so when I found the toy room equivalent, I knew this was the perfect game for her playroom. The Whirl Ball Bounce features game … [Read more...]
Congrats to our winner, Donna! This Christmas, my parents are hundreds of miles away in Florida, so unfortunately we won't get to spend the holidays with them in person. Sniff, sniff. So I've been thinking about getting them Christmas themed food gifts this year as their gift. Something that they would thoroughly enjoy but may not buy for themselves. It's much easier sending edible goodies as gifts when companies like Shari's Berries will ship right to the recipient along with a … [Read more...]
The winner is Jessica! Emma's love for her baby dolls hasn't faded all that much since we reviewed these dolls by Goldberger Toys last year. Just when I think we have enough dolls, I learn that there are never too many by her calculations. I think we're working on creating a full-fledged nursery for her playroom at this point! My daughter can be hard on her toys, so I really appreciate the fact that Goldberger Toys has a lifetime guarantee on their dolls. All you have to do is ship … [Read more...]
The winner is scottsgal! A common misconception when it comes to cleaning is that it can't be done well through natural means. We've been programmed to think that we need all of those chemicals, but in reality, we don't. I use things like lemon juice and white vinegar to clean utensils and appliances, just like my grandmother did. Even though I've used Seventh Generation laundry products, I hadn't tried their all-natural dish soap until recently. Going by past experience, I knew their … [Read more...]
