I know this post is a little late, but maybe it will help someone for another holiday, or special time. I was searching on the web for a gift for my mother for mother’s day, when I came across this site. It is actually a site I have been to previously, but just had forgotten about. This is a gift site, and is a wonderful one at that, it has so many great selections, it is hard to keep it down

Happy Mother's Day, to all the mothers out there! I know it is just another day to some people, but when my child brings me something she hand made, that just lights up my whole day!Families have to start with a mother, or else the rest of us wouldn't be here! Mothers tend to be the glue to the family. Now I am not saying that fathers don't have that impact on their families, because they are

I was web surfing again, looking for some activities for the kids to do, when I came across the Crayola site. I wandered around for a little while, then I happened upon this activity, called the "African Trading Beads"African Trading Beads used to be traded for goods way back when...they weren't necessarily from Africa, because I know native americans had a barter system similar to this as

It is time for me to start introducing the sippy cup to my 19 month old daughter. Actually it was probably time quite a while ago, but my husband keeps sabotaging my efforts.Aren't husband's great like that?! So, I read in my Parents magazine the other day that a good way to start the introduction is to water down the bottle... Meaning save the good stuff for the sippy cup.I tried this the

I posted this on my other blog, The Hodge Podge Blog, but I think it is more appropriate here. When I was surfing the web the other day, I found this ebook. It gives you 10 ways to save on your grocery bill.We all need to save money every where we can these days. This economy is sucking everything we have out of us. We need to learn how to be frugal, and save where we can.Just a disclaimer,

If you are reading this, most likely you are a parent of a teen, or pre teen. All of us as parents hope that we can instill our hard learned lessons into our children, without them having to experience them. We all want our children to learn from our mistakes. Chances are though that they won't learn from our mistakes, and they will make their own. It is just the nature of the beast,

I am always looking for new recipes to try out on my family. I frequent Recipezaar.com, and usually find what I am looking for. I only come across a truly excellent recipe once in a while, the rest seem to be just mediocre, or nothing spectacular, but they are edible.This is one of the recipes I found to be exceptional, with a couple of tweaks for my own tastes!Scalloped Potatoes and Ham (link

I came across a blog today that brought back some memories for me, and maybe for you as well! It is called Funky Soul Vinyls Blog.The author talks about his adventures growing up, and all his memories of the music he loved. I especially liked his post about the time he met his wife.If you want to bring back some memories from the 70's, definitely check it out!

The Vtech Rhyme & Discover Book was given to my youngest daughter as a Christmas present. She was just over a year at that point in time. She has just started to use the book, and absolutely loves it now. It has 6 of the classic nursery rhymes and is very easy for her to use. And very durable, I might add, with how many times she has thrown it!The buttons are as big as the palm of her

I bought these gripper cups in hopes that my daughter would soon be off the bottle and onto a sippy cup. I was drawn to them because of their simplicity, and the fact that they are supposed to be leak proof. I was wrong... on all levels! She does use these occasionally, but they have started to leak if left tipped over. I have a feeling it has to do with the nipple portion of the cup being
