Last week we explored some food related goodness such as recipes and foods from our childhood.  This week’s prompts are dedicated to motherhood since there’s a special holiday coming up.  That’s right, Mother’s Day is right around the corner...

Mother’s Day deals, yay!  Let me remind you that these do contain my affiliate links which may help me buy my mother something nice if you order through me. But first… May the Fourth Be With You! Did you know that all...

Do you ever look back at some of the things you ate as a child and wonder how you loved it? Or maybe you like something now that you loathed as a tot? Sometimes I wonder what happened.  I know...

Do you have any idea what it is like to sleep in the same bed as a toddler?  I never intended to cosleep until my daughter was born.  A few weeks after she was home she refused to sleep...

A few days ago I was looking through posts from a year ago.  Last April was super exciting… it’s when we discovered we were expecting Baby X and I was headed to New York City for the first time. It’s...

I dug into the home movie archives to bring you a conversation with my 4 year old self.  Seems I actually started vlogging in 1985.  So of course the quality will be questionable, but it is still entertaining.  Also,...

Have you ever heard someone ask how they are supposed to explain gay marriage to their children?  Today, I have an answer.  An answer taught by my own toddler.  An answer so simple that I missed it. I support marriage...

This is a follow up to my review of Rita Hazan Root Concealer since I am still using this product a year later. Ever wonder which products your favorite bloggers continue to use months – even years – after you...

Whether you are traveling near or far from home, a travel crib can come in handy.  Xander isn’t mobile yet, but I often used a portable crib/playpen to keep Rissa safe and contained when I needed to leave her...

Rissa found a new way to enjoy snack time… She wanted me to join her. Bless her heart that she still thinks I can fit into a box. Can you caption this? Have a great rest of your...

Do you use your smartphone or tablet a lot? Do you use them for business and entertainment while on the go and far from an outlet?  Yeah, me too.  I even use my phone a lot at home, but...
