kids' products, family travel, family meals, and mom beauty products
I’ve written lots about Totsy before – I’ve gotten some fabulous deals on great brand-name products over the years. But now, Totsy has recently introduced the Totsy Layette Collection, which is their very own line of basics for baby. The line includes exclusively designed one pieces, bodysuits, bibs, blankets, burp clothes, hats, gowns, and much… [read more]
Imagine this scenario – you’ve just purchased an On Demand movie when a child or spouse comes in and takes over the television – or something comes up and you need to shut off the movie. Perhaps your child wakes up from a nap early. How are you going to finish watching your movie? If… [read more]
My kids, especially my son, love playing computer and video games. My son will sit with his Leapster or iPad and quietly play for hours, which especially works well when we travel on family road trips. So, when I saw the original Sifteo Cubes last year, and the new updated Sifteo Cubes at BlogHer this… [read more]
I’ve been using Bluebird by American Express for a few weeks now, and I’m especially a fan of the exclusive member benefits that you receive with the card. I like the fact that you can easily use it for budgeting and the website and app are great for seeing your expenses. Since I write so… [read more]
It’s no secret that I’m completely obsessed with office supplies. I can just wander around Staples for hours looking at everything, and when I redid my home office earlier this year, I enjoyed picking out each individual item. When Martha Stewart and Avery announced their partnership for office supplies available exclusively at Staples, I stalked… [read more]
My kids already have several Interactive Story Buddies from Hallmark. First, I won a Christopher at the Mom 2.0 Summit, and my daughter couldn’t get enough of him. In fact, she even decided to make her own YouTube video focused on the features of Christopher. If you haven’t seen it, you can check it out… [read more]
Kids’ stocking stuffers aren’t always the easiest to buy – small items are sometimes a waste of money, or are too expensive to just throw in a stocking. Here are four items that I like for both boys and girls – they are a nice size/price ratio and are toys kids will really want. Micro… [read more]
I love cheese, and I love bread, but I know that my body works better when I stay somewhat vegan and gluten free. When I went vegan earlier this year, one of the things I realized is that there really are lots of great substitutes to dairy products. In fact, even though I’m no longer… [read more]
We first made the switch to FiOS back in 2009. We were with a standard cable company before that, and had lots of major problems. First, we lost cable/phone/internet with almost every major snow storm because the cables were above ground. Since I worked from home, and live in the Boston area, this happened frequently… [read more]
Last year, as an Aveeno ambassador, I had the opportunity to attend the Independent Spirit Awards in Santa Monica, stay at the amazing Shutters on the Beach Hotel, and have a full spa day with Aveeno products. My pre-Accutane skin was seriously flaring that weekend. Despite my emergency dermatology appointment to have three of my… [read more]
I’ve made no secret of my love for American Express – whether it’s the purchase protection benefits that you receive (so much better than the benefits I’ve experienced from other cards), to the access to entertainment events and roadside assistance. Since American Express cards aren’t necessarily right for everyone, I was happy to see American… [read more]
I love taking photographs during our family vacations, and I often decorate our house with image on canvas prints of some of my favorite photos, including a Martha’s Vineyard beach and the Nantucket ferry terminal. I got some fabulous photos of my trip with my daughter this summer to the Cayman Islands, and was definitely… [read more]
