Our family rules!

Sports Radio on Television?

February 7, 2012

As I mentioned two weeks ago, I’m working with Ball Park on their new campaign, Men: Easier Fed Than Understood. I already wrote about how I cannot understand the interest or appeal in fantasy sports, but there are loads of other hobbies that men have that I just don’t “get”. For instance, my husband loves [...]

Early Numbers Skills With Leapfrog Numberland

February 7, 2012

I’ve seen lots of educational and entertainment DVDs, but of all of those, my favorites have been those from Leapfrog. I truly believe that the Leapfrog: Letter Factory and Leapfrog: Learn to Read at the Storybook Factory helped my daughter read. So, I’m always ready to check out the newest ones, including Leapfrog: Numberland, which [...]

When Mommy Gets the Norovirus

February 6, 2012

When mommy gets the Norovirus, things around the house just don’t get done. Lunchboxes aren’t emptied. Kids aren’t hugged the way they want to be. They climb into mommy’s bed, begging for hugs. It’s hard to leave mommy alone. Suddenly, mommy’s tummy is even more appealing to jump on. Daddy tries, but he isn’t mommy. [...]

Navigating the Nutritional Supplement Aisle

February 6, 2012

Over the years, I’ve been told by various doctors, nutritionists, estheticians, and even my chiropractor, that I should be taking various different supplements. Fish oil, vitamin D, B-complex, probiotics …. these are all just a few things that have been recommended to me. But, navigating the nutritional supplement and vitamin aisle is really confusing! Do [...]

Puppy Products from Martha Stewart Pets at PetSmart

February 5, 2012

The whole family is in love with our little puppy, but we aren’t always thrilled with her tendency to chew up the kids’ stuffed animals. We’ve gotten her some of her own toys, but they don’t seem to be nearly as appealing to her as the stuff that she’s not supposed to touch. PetSmart recently [...]

This One Hurts…

February 4, 2012

I’ve worked numerous freelance writing jobs and they always seem to end the same way – eventually the site shuts down or scales back and the bloggers are let go. It’s a sad truth. Sometimes the news seems to come out of thin air (I’m looking at you – AOL TripVine), and sometimes the writing [...]

New Crispy Wings From Schwan’s – Perfect for Your Next Party

February 3, 2012

I enjoy hosting parties, but picking up or preparing the food is such a hassle. Toting two little kids through a store (or having them try to help me prepare multiple items) can be such a pain, when I’m also trying to clean up the house and get everything else for the get together. So, [...]

Unstopables Super Bowl Commercial and the Touch Downy Contest

February 2, 2012

I admit that I usually watch the Super Bowl primarily for the commercials, not for the actual game. However, since my home team, the New England Patriots, are playing in the big game this year, I’ll be watching it for both the commercials and the game. This year, Downy Unstopables, a product I’ve already raved [...]

New Plant-Based Plastic Bottles from Pantene

February 1, 2012

I always have lots of guilt about the amount of plastic my household consumes. Even though we try to recycle as much as possible, I know there’s still a lot of waste and environment damage when it comes to plastic. Pantene is doing their part to reduce petroleum-based plastics by using a new plant-based plastic [...]

Redoing the Home Office

January 31, 2012

Like many residents of the Boston suburbs, we don’t have the largest home around. While I’ve never had a home office, we always had a dining room separate from our kitchen. Since we always eat in the kitchen, the dining room has gone almost completely unused – pretty impractical for a relatively small house. This [...]

Giveaway: Shabby Apple’s Fashionable Dresses and Skirts

January 30, 2012

While the majority of days are spent running back and forth to my kids’ school and sitting in front of the computer typing, I do still spend some time going out to parties and events. So among my mommy clothes, I need a few nice dresses and stylish items, and I’m always trying to find [...]
