I've reviewed several other products by Guthy Renker recently, and for the last month, I've been using their Meaningful Beauty line, endorsed by Cindy Crawford and created by her dermatologist, Dr. Sebagh. Getting Cindy Crawford's skin is obviously extremely appealing to all moms (all women, actually), but does it actually work? As a disclaimer, I'll mention that I tried the products for a month before writing this and I really think I need longer to see full results. As with most of our reviews, we received free samples of the product to try. The 30-day kit includes the following items: eye cream, cleanser, night cream, day cream (SPF 20), mask, serum, and neck/chest cream. I used them for a month, and found that while I ran low on the neck/chest cream, serum, and cleanser, I ... View Post
Lego Kids, Visual-Spatial Thinkers, and Shut-Down Learners
Working with children was a very rewarding experience for me and a never-ending learning adventure. Whether I was tutoring, assisting classroom teachers, using my skills as a school psychologist or teaching my own classroom, I learned so much about children and the variety of ways they learn. It is very clear to most teachers, psychologists, and parents that not all children learn the same, and some do not excel in the popular teaching modalities presented in today's classroom. For some children, it'll take one adult to take notice and help them excel within their talents. For others, it may not be until adulthood that they realize their abilities, while many other others may never learn. For the children visiting the Cooper Learning Center for evaluations and their parents, it may be ... View Post
A Smart Idea – The Breville Smart Oven
Extra time is not something that most of us moms have. And so it really irked me when every morning I would have to practically babysit my toaster in order to get the bread to come out just right. Too light or too dark, it seemed that getting perfect toast was never simple. Then I got smart. Actually I got a Smart Oven. Created by Breville, the Smart Oven is a countertop device that can toast and roast, bake and broil, reheat and keep warm to perfection every time. How is it so smart? First, the Smart Oven's Element IQ ideally adjusts the oven's 1800 watts of power based on which of the 9 preset menu functions you choose. BROIL sends all the power to the top elements to perfectly melt cheese or brown meats. TOAST equally browns both the top and bottom of the bread while ... View Post
Flattening and Slimming Body Shapewear for that Mommy Tummy
Let's face it, very few moms escape the inevitable mommy tummy that happens after carrying one or more kids. Even if you exercise or otherwise try to fight it, often the effects of carrying a child do permanently alter the shape and size of a mom's stomach. After a pretty rigorous exersize regimen where I lost a few sizes, I still don't have the slender stomach I long for. That's why I was excited to try Yummie Tummie, a brand of body shapers that help smooth and slim that tummy. Available in a variety of styles, sizes, and colors, Yummie Tummie actually works from the top down to give your stomach a slender look and feel. I chose a tank in the nude color, which is neutral enough to go with just about everything I own. I tried to decide between two sizes and chose to go up in ... View Post
Home Grocery Deliveries with Peapod
On Wednesday, I had the opportunity to tour one of the Peapod grocery delivery "warerooms" at a local Stop & Shop along with other Boston-based bloggers. I've shopped at Stop & Shop hundreds, maybe even thousands of times, but hadn't ever gotten Peapod delivery. It was really interesting to see exactly how the shoppers work. Each shopper wears a device on their arm that shows which items they need to put in the bin. Items are organized in the way they should be packed - so heavy items are first, so they'll be at the bottom. We watched the shopper get one order ready, and I was actually pretty surprised to see how carefully each order is shopped for - for instance, she checked every egg in a carton, just as I would do. My concern with grocery delivery was always around ... View Post
Mom’s Magical Coach Bag
I'm sure you've all noticed that we at Mom's Favorite Stuff are huge bag fanatics. We love them, can't get enough of them, perhaps have a bit of an obsession with them. It was with much excitement that I have been given another opportunity to review a Coach bag. You can read my first review here. The Coach New Ali Hobo Bag is surely magical. I can't explain how it could possibly fit my carrying needs and yet still give me that extra boost of polish. Let's start with the way it looks. With a shorter length strap, the bag slips over my shoulder and lays close to my upper body. The interior includes one zippered pocket and two open pockets to fit a phone, pens, or other mommy tools. My Ali Hobo Bag is white. While I have never purchased a bag in white, I have been pleasantly surprised by ... View Post
