The minute we walked in and sat down we knew this was a much better venue. Last year the seats were … [Read more...]
#HGG Little Tikes Gourmet Prep ‘n Serve Kitchen Review [CLOSED Giveaway]
Little Tikes Gourmet Prep ‘n Serve Kitchen My kids (all four of them) have loved playing kitchen at some point in their lives. Emma and Ethan fight over who gets to help me in the kitchen, so it’s no surprise that they adore pretend kitchen time as well.

The California Wine Club : Month Two : Review
Last month was our first month of receiving a shipment from the California Wine Club (see the review here). If you remember, I mentioned that we are not very knowledgeable when it comes to wine, so we were excited to try a few bottles of some premium wines (normally we would stay in the $5-$10 range when buying one on our own). This month we received another bottle of red and one white. Both were from Castroro Cellars and both were from 2010… … [Read more...]
Philips PD700/37 7-Inch LCD Portable DVD Player : Review
Philips PD700/37 7-Inch LCD Portable DVD Player My recent trip to Atlanta was fantastic… including the plane ride. At first I thought for sure I was in for a l o n g ride because of the young child that planted his behind just a couple of seats away from me. Then his mom pulled out a portable DVD player and that was the last peep I heard from him. That made me think of several instances that a portable DVD player would come in handy in my … [Read more...]
#HGG Plow & Hearth Weather Minder Review [CLOSED Giveaway]
Wireless battery powered Weather Minder There have been many times when getting dressed or dressing the kids when we have wondered what it was like outside. Temperature is an important factor, but when considering a jog… it’s nice to know what the humidity is as well. If you can cut the humidity with a knife (which happens often in Missouri)… an afternoon run might be slightly miserable. When Plow & Hearth agreed to a … [Read more...]

New omBooks : Tacky’s Christmas & Five Little Monkeys Jumping on the Bed
With the arrival of my new iPad comes the begging and pleading from Emma & Ethan to “play with it”. At first I was a bit hesitant, but a good friend introduced me to omBook (Oceanhouse Media digital book). The wonderful thing about these is they have several “play” modes. They can read the book themselves with the “read it myself” option, there is a “read it to me” option (but the kids have to turn the page) and there is an “auto play” … [Read more...]
