Have you vowed to get organized in 2010? Is this the year when you will finally have all of your family’s important information safely in one place? If so, you’re not alone. I typically begin each new year with a trip to my closest big box store to buy my new planner. This year will…

The holiday season is solidly upon us, and if your family is like mine, you’re currently getting ready to travel to see family for Christmas. Whether you’re driving across the country to visit family or across town to holiday shop, it is important that your child passengers are riding safely and that child safety seats…

I first tweeted with Sprig Toys representatives in the weeks leading up to the Type-A Mom Conference last September. They were corporate sponsors, which right out of the gate made me like them. Any company – especially one on the smaller side – that invests in the mom blogging community deserves at least a second…

Dear Members of the Traditional Media, There’s something I’ve been meaning to talk to you about for some time. Lately when I pick up my favorite magazine, turn on the news, or check out the e-version of the newspaper – because let’s face it, no one is buying the print copy – I’ve noticed that…

As much as my kids love electronics – the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree – what we love even more is sitting on the floor in front of the family room fireplace playing a game. We all love Candy Land and Chutes and Ladders, of course, but over the last year I’ve found…

This is a post that I have been writing and re-writing for weeks. In light of this week’s events, it is time to finally hit “publish.” For those of us who work online, we’ve known for some time that while truth is a lovely ideal, perception is king. When we pick up “parenting” magazines in…

It’s time I bear my sole to you. Yes, that pun was intended. You see, I have a shoe problem, and it’s not what you think. Unlike many women who spend insane amounts of money on shoes, here are the three pairs that I wear 99.9% of my days. The main issue is that I…

The time has come. It is time to say goodbye to what I have come to affectionately call my dinosaur desktop. While it was not purchased in the Mesozoic Era, it has been several years which means our desktop is essentially obsolete. After much research – much research – I decided that I needed an…

When my children fall in love with a show, one of the first things I do is check online for related merchandise. I know that shortly after watching their favorite episode for the one hundredth time, someone is going to request a stuffed animal/t-shirt/CD/plastic something related to the show’s characters. There are many cases –…

In the last year there have been so many blog conferences for moms, women, techies, foodies, non-bloggers…okay, that last one was a stretch…that it has become literally impossible to keep track of what is where and when and why… But lately I’ve noticed that interest in these conferences has begun to slow down. Could this…

Thank you so much to Suzanne Shaffer for sharing this incredible story with us. Her post is part of my continuing series of Twitter friends’ favorite Disney stories to celebrate my own families vacation this year. “When my children were in high school, I was diagnosed with breast cancer. Since my mother died from the…

If you’re looking for a unique gift this holiday season I am recommending Craft Caravan. Keri at Craft Caravan contacted me to see if I would be interested in reviewing this service, and while the craft they sent is adorable and perfect for my daughter, I was honestly sold on the idea just from the…

In preparation for my family’s vacation to Walt Disney World, I interviewed AJ from Disney Food Blog. Disney is a foodie’s paradise, so I’m happy to turn the reigns over to an expert when it comes to wining and…

I have blogged more than once about my love for catalogs around the holidays, but I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention it again during this review. Apparently this love of looking at all items available to purchase is genetic, because my children will sit and look at mailers for hours, returning again and again…
