One of the fun perks about doing this blog is the occasional offer to review a product that I had never heard of but instantly love. After Jillian was born I was given the wonderful gift of designing a Fill In The Blankie blanket for her. It is much more than personalized, you get to [...]
Our kids go through phases of only wanting one show until they’ve seen every episode a million times and then move on to the next one. We have been in a Curious George phase for months now and when we were sent a Curious George Super Helper game to review I knew the kids would [...]
I can not believe my little baby is 5 months already. Since 4 kids seems to be our max I am feeling like this is a bittersweet time for me. I just wish she could stay my tiny baby forever! She is the sweetest baby though and gets more so every day. She is changing [...]
