Since my daughter is now in her tween years, I am always looking out for fun and creative gift ideas for her and her friends. I love fun finds that don’t focus too much on outer beauty and am happy to have found iBbeautiful. iBbeautiful sends a monthly box of goodies to your teen or…
My kids are always moving. And now that school is done, they are even more active. We’ve always had a hard time finding a good summer shoe that allows kids to really play. Flip flops and Crocs fall off. Socks and sneakers are difficult to take on and off for trampolines, sprinklers and mud–and make…
Every morning when my big kids head to the bus stop, my 2-year-old little guy insists on joining them. One day (way too soon), he will be getting on the bus, too. But for now, he is happy heading out there with his very own bag–the preschool rolling luggage from Wildkin. Sometimes it’s empty, sometimes it’s packed…
Early summer is the perfect time to detox. Cleansing helps flush out toxins while flooding your body with organic superfoods.. This helps to give your digestive system a break from heavy winter foods and filters the kidneys, liver and gallbladder. Urban Remedy can help you get on track with the perfect cleanse–either using one of…
How many of you have a tween daughter? I hate to call my 9-year-old a “tween” just yet, but she is getting to that “too old for toys, too young for boys” stage. For her birthday this year, she had a hard time coming up with anything she wanted. We’ve been happy to be introduced…
One of my sons loves puzzles. So when I heard about the FlipStir by Enlivense 3D puzzle, I knew he would be the perfect person to try it out. The FlipStir is a 10-piece 3D puzzle that is housed in a plastic cylinder. In order to solve the puzzle, you need to manipulate the wand to…
I am a bookworm. Ever since I can remember, I have loved to read. When I was young, I kept a flashlight nearby to read under my covers after my parents turned out the light. As I got older, my love of reading just grew. Now there is always a book on my night stand…
I can’t believe it’s already Memorial Day weekend! With the weather finally gorgeous here in Michigan, we can’t wait to kick off summer and spend time playing in the backyard with our family and neighbors. While we have a few yard games we like to play, the one that is best for all ages is Baggo….
While I might have a bit of an issue buying more shoes than I need, I try to keep things more simple when it comes to my kids. With their growing feet, I like to only buy one pair of sneakers for my kids. With as quickly as their feet grow, I prefer to buy…
So often when I’m buying toys for my kids, I think back to my childhood and what was fun. Back then, while we did have an original Atari and later a Nintendo 64 (yes, I am that old!), most of my memories of toys were those that were simpler. I remember playing for hours on…
Now that winter is FINALLY gone, I’m shedding my scarves and having so much fun wearing colorful jewelry! I love using accessories to brighten up outfits–from dressing up a plain t-shirt to adding the perfect touch for a night out. But, between you and me, I don’t really own that much jewelry besides some sentimental pieces…
I love to kickstart my day with smoothies. It’s the perfect way to get a few good servings of fruits and vegetables right away and the only way I’ve found to get close to the up-to 9 servings a day recommended. But I have to admit, trimming kale, coring pineapple and peeling mangoes aren’t really…
