| October 30, 2010 | Posted by barb under Family, kids stuff, Reviews |
Piper was really excited when I told her that she could choose between being a pilgrim or an Indian this Halloween. I told her that if she chose one of those two, she’d not only have it for Halloween but that she’d be able to wear it in her Thanksgiving play at school too- SOLD!… Keep Reading…

Capri Sun is one of those drinks that tastes great and the kids can never get enough of. What’s interesting though is that I’ve recently learned about a company called TerraCycle. This company makes pencil cases, book bags and tote bags from Capri Sun pouches. Have you seen them yet? The funny thing is; hub… Keep Reading…
Hasbro Boy Toy Gift Ideas
| October 28, 2010 | Posted by barb under kids stuff |
I think boys are so much easier to shop for. For the most part, and I don’t think they ever grow out of this…they like action figures and remote control cars; video games and comic books. They love baseball cards and battle ships; listening to music and so much more. I mean- seriously. I can’t… Keep Reading…

Soap Soundz- Perfect Stocking Stuffers
| October 26, 2010 | Posted by barb under kids stuff, Reviews |
Maybe I’m goofy this way, but I like filling the kids stockings with soaps, lotions, toothpaste, toothbrushes , deodorants, mini shampoos and conditioners; just to name a few. Just about anything that promotes good hygiene is a gift I like to shove in their little faces (LOL- Just joking…well, kind of). I do this because,… Keep Reading…

I recently tried a neat looking Refrigerator/freezer thermometer and set it in my freezer. So far- the temperature is staying in the safe zone (from what I can see). We bought this fridge when Patience was a year an a half. At one point, the fridge stopped working. We ended up getting it fix but… Keep Reading…

The Boo At the Zoo Event Was Fun

I don’t know if I’m just getting old for my time, but geesh- working events take a lot out of me. It didn’t help that water costs so much at the zoo. I only drank one bottle in seven hours. Yes, I was parched. By the time we disassembled everything and loaded it into the… Keep Reading…

It’s starting to get chilly out there isn’t it? Well, maybe not for Texas, but up north- I’m sure it’s cold enough to start pulling out jackets and warming up your toes with thicker socks.

Community Coffee- My Favorite
| October 19, 2010 | Posted by barb under food, home, Reviews |
My most favorite part of the day is morning time. I can’t say I’m 100% ‘happy-go-lucky’ morning material, but I do love knowing that I’m more focused and alert at this time. I start every morning with a freshly brewed pot of coffee. Usually this gets prepared the night before so that I can wake… Keep Reading…
