Potty Talk

October 31st, 2007

Have you ever been in a public restroom minding your own business, when all of a sudden you hear a child in the next stall asking their mom really embarrassing questions or making really embarrassing statements? That’s my child. And then you hear an obviously embarrassed mom trying to shush her child or […]

Halloween Pumpkins

October 30th, 2007

Last night I made Halloween goodies for my son to take for his preschool class (yes, the dirty laundry is still there). It’s another idea I found on brightideas.com (you didn’t think I came up with this stuff myself did you?). Though my pumpkins didn’t turn out quite like the ones on the site […]

October 30th, 2007

Bumbo “baby sitter” seats have been recalled due to reports of serious head injuries to young children. Please read more from the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission.

Spider Cupcakes

October 29th, 2007

To get ready for Halloween I baked these cute spider cupcakes with my sons. I found the idea on brightideas.com. I know you’re saying that there is no way you have time to bake cupcakes but you can do it. Part of being a busy mama is accepting that you can’t do […]

Halloween Confetti Jello

October 28th, 2007

This morning my daughter and I decided to make some Jell-O (she’s always excited to do something in the kitchen, even it’s only to leave a trail of cookie crumbs all over the floor). This is a great recipe that’s not too difficult to make - especially compared to its more elegant layered cousin, Rainbow […]

The Snuzzler. A Wonder Product!

October 26th, 2007

Probably one of my favorite baby gifts from my daughter’s baby shower was the Snuzzler by Kiddopotamus. When I first saw it I had no idea what is was and if we could even make use of it. Then again, as a new parent I didn’t know what anything was or what to […]

Halloween sale at Pottery Barn Kids

October 25th, 2007

I love Pottery Barn Kids and enjoy looking through their catalogs at all the cute things but rarely bring myself to spend the money unless it is on sale. Right now they are having a great sale on their Halloween items. Treat bags starting at $4.99 (reduced from $12) as well as decorations, […]

7 days to Halloween

October 24th, 2007

Still don’t have a Halloween costume for your child? Don’t panic. Here are some last minute costume ideas I found on the Disney Family site that are easy to put together. Trust me I have made both costumes and if I can pull it off anyone can!
The first is a Lego costume which […]
