My husband is a watch fanatic, he has 3 TAG Heuer's, an Oakley and a Rolex and is always looking for more to add to his collection.  I, on the other hand, am usually quite happy with any brand, and I had been wearing the same Coach watch for almost 8 years.  While getting my wedding ring inspected for its semi-annual "check-up", we were looking at watches and the TAG Heu...

Anyone traveling with small children knows how important keeping them occupied is.  The more distracted the child, the quicker the trip seems to take, whether it's by car, plane or train.  With that in mind, I knew that we needed to purchase a portable DVD player for a trip we were planning from CA to CO.  Luckily we were flying, but we knew we'd need that DVD player none...

In keeping with the straight hair trend, I recently purchased a flat iron made by Bed Head.  It's one of the more expensive flat irons that can be purchased at Target, so I was hoping that it would be a great product.  Visually it was quite appealing with the flat iron being a pretty bright blue color, and along the sides of the iron there was an area that lights up when on. ...

With my first child, I tried baby wearing and it didn't work out.  I had a wrap sling and by the time I figured out where to fold, tie, loop, swoop and swirl the fabric, I was exhausted!  For baby number two, I wanted to try baby wearing again, but using something easier and more time friendly.After much googling and asking other mommy friends, I stumbled across Hotsling products....

Tramontina brand steak knives are quite possibly the best knives I've ever used!  They were a wedding gift eight years ago from our family butcher, so I knew that they would be good quality.  After all, butchers know a little bit about knives!  This 12-piece set has six steak knives, which we use on everything from steak, chicken and other meats, to cutting veggies and o...

I had been wanting to get my teeth whitened for quite some time now, and I finally decided to start with an at home kit to see where those results take me.  There are a lot of products on the market, from trays (ick, I didn't want to deal with trays, I'm assuming you can't even talk when you're wearing those!) to stick on strips, to dissolving strips.  I decided agains...

I love Starbucks coffee but can't afford the "real thing" every day, so I decided to do the next best thing and purchase a Starbucks coffee mug and use that to get my daily caffeine fix.  There are a few designs in the store to choose from, usually they're seasonally themed.  The travel mug that I selected has all of the Starbucks "lingo" on it in outline t...

After having not used birth control in over 5 years, I was a bit overwhelmed with all the options now available.  Since I was nursing our daughter, I didn't want to use any type of hormonal birth control, and it was going to be a while before my husband would follow through on his promise of getting the big "V", so we decided to try out condoms.After being very unsatisfied wi...

"Can you catch a little bubble on your finger?"  That's the beginning verse of bubble time at Gymboree, and the bubbles start flying!  Once you do catch one on your finger, you realize that these aren't just any ordinary bubble, these are a lot higher quality.I'm sure all of us have used regular bubbles, dug the wand out from inside the bubble container and turne...

I love being crafty and giving unique cards for birthdays, congratulations, thank-you's and anything else.  Hand making cards for each individual person on my birthday list alone would take me all year, not to mention adding in more cards for congratulations, thanks or even sympathy.This awesome assortment of cards at Costco of 40+ cards includes Birthday, Thank-You, Friendship/Blank, ...

I've used other Burt's Bees products and love their quality, and especially the fact that they use all natural ingredients, so I was excited to try out their Mama Bee Belly Butter when I was pregnant with my second child.The tub of Belly Butter is 6.6 oz and was more than enough to last my entire pregnancy (although I never did remember often enough to use daily) and I didn't need v...

People are getting bitten nationwide by the bug...the CRICUT bug that is!  This great machine is changing the life of scrapbookers, card-makers and crafty people in general.  Pronounced "cricket", this portable machine works with different themed cartridges to cut shapes and letters of varying sizes onto paper, vellum, even vinyl!  You can also use a special pen to draw...

When we were at Legoland (great place for small children, by the way), my parents told my son he could pick out a set of Lego's.  He decided upon a train set as he really likes his "choo-choo's".  It was a toss-up between a Thomas train set and the non-Thomas set, and we decided on the non-Thomas one.What a great decision we made!  His cousin ended up with the T...

I received a $20 Dale and Thomas gift card as an incentive to re-join Netflix, which I was planning on doing anyway when Blockbuster raised their rates - yet again - so I was more than happy to get something for nothing, so to speak!  Once I received my gift card, I jumped on their website at daleandthomaspopcorn.com to see what goodies I had to choose from.Oh. My. Gosh.  I thought I ...

Overall I love The Children's Place!  They feature relatively inexpensive clothing for both girls and boys, from newborn sizes up to children's sizes.  Their toddler sizes range from 2T to 5T, and my 2.5 year old son is wearing 3T and 4T sizes.I really like their plaid button down, short sleeve dress shirts.  I purchased a red, blue, and white plaid shirt in size 4T for m...

I needed new nursing bras after having my daughter as my previous ones were over 2 years old and had been used a lot; they were still fine for use around the house, but I wanted some new ones to wear out in public.  It can be very difficult to find any selection of nursing bras, my last ones were purchased at Target, but I couldn't find any the last time I was there, so I checked out W...

After being back to work for a few weeks and pumping breast milk for my daughter, I was aware at the rate I was going through breast milk storage bags.  I was pumping about 16 oz. a day, and I would split that into 4-oz increments for my daughter's meals the next day, so I was using at least 4 bags a day.  The bags I used came in 25/box, so I was going through a box every 6 days, ...

After having an electric hedge trimmer for a couple of years in houses with minimal landscaping requiring trimming, we moved into our current house.  Now we were proud owners of bushes flanking our garage on each side, a row of bushes between our house and our neighbor's house, jasmine growing up our house by the front door, jasmine growing up our walls in the backyard, and an entire b...

I found a great value at Big Lots on a "Kandoo" potty package.  Included was a potty seat to go on the toilet, a step stool, and some reward tattoos.  Having recently purchased just a potty seat for around $12, I felt that getting a step stool and reward tattoos for another couple of bucks was a great bonus!When we got home, my son and I eagerly opened the box to put his sea...

I love that Oshkosh B'Gosh has a line of clothing at Target, although I'm not sure what my husband feels on this subject as I come home with this line of clothing a lot!  The clothing line is called Genuine Kids, and it has all the style and comfort of regular Oshkosh clothing, just at a lesser price.  The toddler size of this line goes from 2T to 5T, the shorts pictured above...
