When I heard about the company “Merle & Velma” I was intrigued by the story behind the name. Since I am super sentimental, I absolutely LOVED reading about these 2 hardworking women who had a profound impact on the owner of this company. It is with their drive and determination in mind that the owner…
I knew I hit a significant parenting milestone when the same beloved toys from my youth were now being marketed to my kids. Call it a comeback or complete marketing genius, but toy makers knew exactly what they were doing when they resurrected some of our childhood favorites. Appealing to nostalgia while giving the kids…
The first word my 6-year daughter learned to spell was her name: Reagan. Those 6 letters became a beacon, ones she could pick out anywhere. She loved seeing it printed out and was immediately interested and overjoyed any time she saw it in an unexpected context. Put Me in the Story has found a way…
*I am a Fox Home Entertainment Insider and received this DVD to share in exchange for sharing my thoughts. All thoughts are my own.* This week was the week which that little snail that my daughters have been seeing on the television screen came to our house. And he can come to yours now too! …
My kiddos LOVE Christmas movies. Wait, strike that. My kiddos love Christmas movies, shows, songs, commercials….you name it. We started watching Christmas-themed DVDs while their bathing suits were still in the weekly laundry load. They crack up at the Grinch, they sing along with Rudolph, they ask for “Jingle Bells” as their bedtime song long…

As a little girl, whenever I slipped on my ice skates, I pictured myself doing amazing spins and graceful leaps. Honestly, I was lucky to stay on my feet most days. I guess that means I’ll just have to leave stopping the mean Ice Witch up to Dora! In Dora the Explorer’s newest video adventure, Dora’s…
Whether it’s the first draft of a gift list, a photo idea for holiday cards, or a location for a family gathering, many of us are already thinking of and planning for the holidays. The giving season quickly becomes too busy and hectic. Many of us forget the true meaning of the winter holidays. But…
I’ve lost count of how many times my family has watched the original Shrek cartoon on DVD. Seriously, my husband can recite a good portion (if not all) of the movie from memory. Which is scary and funny all at the same time. If you have Shrek aficionados in your home as well you need…
It seems as though taking your full size camera out of the house these days is archaic. You really don’t hear people talking about that, as sad as that is. Thank goodness there are companies that make our smart phones smart like the full size cameras. I recently received some great items from olloclip to…
A few weeks into having baby #3 home with us, I would round the corner daily to my 4 year old wearing my baby carrier with one of her baby dolls! Completely adorable! She was so into it so I just had to find her something for herself! I started searching around and actually…
This summer, on a whim, I sold my double stroller. We had barely used it since the birth of our third child, despite having two older kids who, in tandem “were so tired and needed to sit” in the ride-along section of our stroller. I loved the idea of having an option for a tired…
