Cook’n Recipe Organizer For PC & Mac
Cook’n Recipe Organizer With our family’s recent focus on trying to eat more whole unprocessed foods, my recipe collection has more than doubled. Most of my current recipes are from various places online and are stored/organized in my internet browser bookmarks. This method of organization is not very efficient and oftentimes I cannot remember which particular recipe it was I wanted to use (several sound alike but are not) and I get frustrated … [Read more...]
Closet Organization With ClosetMaid | Cube Organizer & Stackable Drawer Review
Kaytlin has one of the smallest rooms in the house. She doesn’t usually mind, but because of the size she doesn’t have enough room for a dresser. The clutter in her closet was finally starting to get to her. We decided her most pressing issues were her shoes and a place to put her socks and undergarments. ClosetMaid knew just what we needed and sent a 15 cube organizer and a stackable 2 drawer organizer for our review. There were several shoe … [Read more...]
Sony Walkman E Series 8GB Video MP3 Player Review
Sony Walkman E Series 8GB Video MP3 Player Emma loves music. We found this out when she was around the age of 2-3. Emma had difficulty winding down and would have some serious fits that only alone time and music could cure. One day at Josh’s soccer game we gave her our MP3 player to listen to and watch videos on. So began Emma’s “music therapy”. Her mood swings lessened considerably and she seemed overall happier! Fast forward to now. To be … [Read more...]

Sleep Buddy Sleep Training System Review
Sleep Buddy Sleep System It’s the (butt)crack of dawn and you hear little footsteps running down the hall and down the stairs. It’s a typical story happening all over the world. For some reason kids seem to think that the slightest indication of sunrise means it’s time to get out of bed... even if it’s 6am. Because Emma and Ethan don’t know how to tell time we have been on a hunt for a sleep training system with a simple cue for them to get … [Read more...]

I love it when Emma &/or Ethan do little things out of the blue to show me they love me. Emma is working on her writing skills and I stumbled on her playing around on her dry erase board. … [Read more...]
Disney’s Treasure Buddies on Blu-Ray/DVD
Disney’s Treasure Buddies on Blu-Ray/DVD Emma and Ethan have been into “animal” movies lately... specifically, animals that talk. Treasure Buddies “hit the spot” and was a huge hit in our house. Who knew 5 little dogs with huge personalities could be cute, even when talking (yes, talking animals is a bit creepy to me lol). The storyline is attention grabbing for the kiddos and they’ve asked to watch it time and again. ***** The Buddies … [Read more...]
Step2 Tropical Island Resort Water Table Review
Step2 Tropical Island Resort Water Table It’s only March and we are already lugging out the water toys from storage. Can you believe we got in the 80’s already? That’s why when Step2 offered to let Emma and Ethan review the Tropical Island Resort Water Table I said YES! I was excited to review this particular water table... mainly because it looked large enough for multiple kids. Emma and Ethan are in a “everything needs to be equal” “I … [Read more...]
