Something Special for Mothers Day
| April 30, 2011 | Posted by barb under beauty |
|
We have but 9 days until Mother’s Day and though I’m very excited, I’m not expecting too much. Money’s been tight so I told my family not to make a huge fuss over me. I know the girls will bring home something beautiful and hand crafted from school. They always do. But I told my… Keep Reading…
Our #GoGos Crazy Bones Party
| April 29, 2011 | Posted by barb under kids stuff |
As you know, Piper turned 8 on the 18th. We invited a few friends over to have some cake and ice cream. Most of the kids that showed up were close friends of ours (as well as a few class mates) and it was nice. I was hoping more kids would have showed up, but… Keep Reading…
Squinkies Nintendo DS Game Review
| April 29, 2011 | Posted by barb under Games |
My girls are huge fans of Squinkies. They’ve got quite the collection to prove it. They’re favorites are the little people and babies, but they do love their cats and dogs, horses and pigs too. The girls knew we were getting the Squinkies game about a week before it was due to arrive and let… Keep Reading…

Catch of the Day from Educational Toys Planet (Review)
| April 28, 2011 | Posted by barb under Reviews |
My girls love fishing. They’re actually obsessed with the thought of someday catching the biggest trout in the world. They’ve already made a deal with dad that when this fish is caught, he’ll be their taxidermist (LOL). These girls are so funny. So, needless to say; when “Catch of the Day” arrived at our doorstep,… Keep Reading…

Do you know what the water GPM or PSI is in your area? That’s Gallons Per Minute and Pounds per Square Inch…incase you didn’t know. Well, I didn’t…until just recently.

Our Easter Sunday At the Beach
| April 26, 2011 | Posted by barb under Family |
Hey everyone…I hope you’re doing fantastic today! I just realized I hadn’t shared any pictures with you, from Easter. So I decided to make something better…a video.

Morning Star Farms: Veggie Corn Dogs (Review)
| April 26, 2011 | Posted by barb under Reviews |
At our house; we have what’s called ‘fend-me’ nights where everyone basically ‘fends for themselves.’ We do this because, sometimes, I just don’t have the time to cook or because I’m just a little too lazy. We started fend-me nights when the girls were old enough to make their own sandwiches and/or learn to use… Keep Reading…
Mega Bloks-Dora’s Garden Gazebo

|
So it says on the box that this particular toy is for ages 3 and up. Now, most people would assume that it’s for the younger “toddler” group of 3 and up (for those still in daycare, Pre-K or Kinder)…not an 8 year old. Right? Well. This didn’t stop my 8 year old from enjoying… Keep Reading…

The family and I have always used Crest products. In fact…when it’s time to stock up on toothpaste, the girls will usually ask for Crest for kids.

| April 17, 2011 | Posted by barb under Giveaways |
I have never been a real fan of dairy milk. Patience is lactose intolerant and can’t drink it. The rest of the family could care less really; as long as there’s something to add to their cereal, dip their cookies in and/or have with their pancakes. So when I was asked to “Switch to Silk”… Keep Reading…
