I really liked How I Met Your Mother:  Season 2 DVD.  I’m generally not a big sitcom fan, but I find How I met Your Mother to be intelligent and well-written.  Season Two features such sitcom clichés as a couple getting married and a newly together couple, but approaches what could potentially be an eyeroll-worthy episode into something unique and clever that has you...

This book was given to me by my cousin when I was pregnant with my daughter and contemplating the whole breast feeding adventure.  My cousin swears by this book and refers to it as the "Breastfeeding Bible".I did read the book while pregnant and was overwhelmed by how many issues can arise while breastfeeding. Honestly, I tossed the book aside and was going to donate it to Goodwi...

This is a very powerful and emotional book. This book should be read by everyone, but especially if you have loved or are someone who battling addiction or in recovery. This book is unique in that you get the mother's emotions for her child's addiction and eventual recovery. This is not a story for the squeamish of readers who do not like uncomfortable situations, descriptive drug using...

Mother's Day Murder is a Lucy Stone Mystery by Leslie Meier.  I really enjoy reading her books.  Our heroine, Lucy Stone, resides in Tinker's Cove, Maine.  She is a reporter for the newspaper in this small town, and it is amazing how she can always seem to find something newsworthy to write about.This novel delves into a feud between two very competitive moms, Tina and Ba...

I bought this 5 oz. bag of Old Mother Hubbard Assorted Flavors Natural Oven Baked Dog Biscuits at PetSmart for 2.99.

I purchased this Old Mother Hubbard Jumbo Biscuit at PETCO because I thought my dogs would be interested in this flavor of biscuit which was Bac ‘N' Cheese.

It also contained other good ingredients like whole ground carrots and apple...

Everyone wants what is best for their child.  I use disposable diapers on a regular basis, but I do own and do use the occasional cloth diaper.  I truly do believe that it is better for the environment, but time wise, well they are definately not as great.A lot of care goes into the cloth diaper. Mother-Ease diaprers are great because one diaper fits from 8-35 lb.  The little sna...

My daughter surprised me with this beautiful stained glass keepsake for Mother’s Day.  Usually, gifts do not have prices posted on them unless we forget to take them off.  She was unable to hide the price of this gift.  For me, price means nothing anyway.  It is not the price of any gift which makes it special.  The love behind the gift is what makes the gift spec...

I think I just had to review this book,  "Scarlett Saves Her Family: The Heart-Warming True Story of A Homeless Mother Cat Who Rescued Her Kittens From A Raging Fire" by Jane Martin and Jean-Claude Suares even though it was published back in 1997, as it seems to have a more bittersweet poignancy now than ever before.For anyone not familiar with the most glorious true feline story...
