Upcoming Totsy Sales

Post image for Upcoming Totsy Sales

Now that the weather is a little more consistent (and should be even warmer over the next few weeks), it’s time for me to re-evaluate what we have in the kids’ drawers and figure out if we need more new stuff for the summer and fall.  I always head to Totsy first, because they have some great sales of fun and fashionable items.

Coming up over the next few days, you’ll find some great sales – like Girls Playground Outfits, Sweet and Soft Baby Boy Sets, My Favorite Character Bags (I love the Agent P backpack), and Robeez by Stride Rite Baby (including some adorable Robeez socks).  I’m excited to check them out!

If you haven’t already, check out this video below of my latest Totsy haul!

If you haven’t yet joined Totsy, you can use this invitation link.

Disclosure: I’m compensated as a member of Totsy’s Mom Committee.

The Motherhood, in conjunction with ConAgra Foods, is continuing their Cooking Connections series this Thursday.  Celebrity Chef George Duran will appear on a live video feed to show you how to host the best picnic this summer season.  Since I’m eating a vegan (ish) diet while finishing up Accutane, I specifically asked George to talk about how to best prepare picnic foods for vegans and vegetarians.

Here are the details:

What: A virtual cooking school class called Delicious Summer Picnic Recipes. The class is part of the Cooking Connections series on The Motherhood.  You can check out great easy picnic recipes ahead of time on recipe website ReadySetEat here.

When: Thursday, May 17, at 1 p.m. ET.  It will last 30 minutes.

Where: The Motherhood – click the link to see where the class will be held.

About the class: Who doesn’t love a summer picnic over Memorial Day, July 4th, and beyond? Chef George Duran will appear on live feed video to demonstrate how to cook up great picnic dishes and discuss easy-to-prepare recipes that will keep your menu filled with new tastes and flavors, and keep your picnics far from reaching a state of “same old, same old” by summer’s end.

Giveaway! We are also giving away a summer picnic gift basket for class participation – don’t miss out!  Here’s how to enter: Attend the live chat and answer the question, “Which picnic recipe from ReadySetEat are you most excited to try?”  You can check out the recipes on ReadySetEat.

The class is sponsored by ReadySetEat.com and ConAgra Foods, and it is hosted by The Motherhood.  I’ll be there with nine other bloggers to co-host the class, and I hope you’ll join us.

Last week, I attended my fourth Mom 2.0 Summit (this year, held at the Ritz-Carlton in Key Biscayne, Florida).  I’ve been to Mom 2.0 since the very first year, and while I didn’t love my experience last year, I’m glad to see that the Summit is back on track.  I’m always pleased to see the [...]

At Home Gel Manicure With Red Carpet Manicure

May 8, 2012

If you’ve heard about gel manicures, you know that they are long-lasting and help harden your nails.  They are also somewhat expensive and time consuming to get, which makes the concept of an at-home solution sound appealing to me.  When I was getting my hair cut and colored at Ulta a few weeks ago, I [...]
