It’s Minnie to the rescue in an all new adventure, coming straight to your home! Summer has us driving all over the place, and when we happen to be home for a short while, I find us popping in a show for some down time. A new DVD was recently sent to us, with Minnie Mouse…
Series 4 Surprizamals have hit the shelves. They are as cute as ever. These plush friends are often included in our backpacks when we travel. The kids love to open them on the plane. They are also fun for a birthday party favor. I also like to keep a few Surprizamals in my “gift…
Last week my family and I ventured out to the Grand Rapids Treetop Adventure Park. I was shocked to see such an expanse of woods in the middle of a busy part of the city! If you live near southwest Michigan and love adventure, you have to try the Grand Rapids Treetop Adventure Park! The…

Bringing in so many tasty eats…
I find that there have been a lot of great additions to the organic & sustainable clothing world, but other apparel and accessories are lagging a bit behind, whether it is shoes or bags.

I’m terrible about eating breakfast. Does my morning coffee count as breakfast? I NEVER skip that. I often grab a protein bar on the way to the gym in the morning. The kids are always begging for a bite. The crunchy peanut butter Zone Perfect bars are my go-to flavor. I was excited to see…
Systemic eczema. No weight gain. Extreme fussiness. These were all ways my infant son’s allergies were showing themselves. When we took him in for his six-month checkup, my youngest child was covered in eczema and had gained only 1 ounce in 2 months, despite my nursing him every 2 to 3 hours. Something was clearly…
