Popcorn Cupcakes

Popcorn-Cupcakes1

I am so not a cake maker.  I typically buy my kid’s birthday cakes from the grocery store (and thankfully they think they’re great) but there’s something to be said for the pride a mama has when she makes something special for her kid’s birthday.  I get that. Since I can master cupcakes I decided [...]

Its-Raining-Men-shower-gel

Hallelujah, It’s Raining Men Shower Gel ($8.95 – $24.95) is back for good! This divine shower gel was a limited edition product from the LUSH Valentine’s Day collection and customers clamored for it after it was gone.

I’m Making the Pledge With Energizer (and you can too!)

Energizer Pledge

Positive energy flows both ways, doesn’t it?  It always makes me smile when I do something kind and get that heart-swell feeling when I know I’ve made a difference in someone’s day, no matter how small the act of kindness.  Apologies for sounding like a Care Bear for a moment but it’s true.  When we [...]

Thursday marks our 10 year wedding anniversary!  It feels like our wedding was just a few years ago, and it’s hard to believe that a decade has gone by!  In that time we have lived in 3 different towns, had 3 beautiful children and certainly our fair share of adventures! I think the fact that [...]

Zutano Gift Certificate Giveaway

zutano

What I love most about fall is the beautiful colors not only in nature, but also in stores!  Rich tones of brown, green and burgundy are everywhere.  It’s nice to see that baby clothes are not always focused on pastels anymore but they also, for the most part, are not very adventurous in terms of [...]

couponology – the science of smart shopping

couponology logo

I love the tagline for this site, couponology: the science of smart shopping.  It’s true though, you need to shop smart and if you’re not using coupons (like many of my friends, sigh) you’re paying too much.  I could never understand why people would prefer to pay full price for items instead of taking a [...]

Stop the Facebook Game, People.

Stand Up To Cancer

It’s happening again. Last year I wrote this post about the cutesy Facebook game going around where women were asked to post, as their status, where they kept their purse as a way to support breast cancer awareness.  You see, having something provactive in your status like “on the kitchen table” makes people inevitably think [...]
