Giveaway open to Canadians. I love television. There, I said it. I also allow my girls to watch TV…almost every day! Of course, I always sit right beside them, watching intently and discussing the storylines. I would never, ever use their TV time to get my own work done, or to have a moment of peace.

Thanks to my friend Krista, I have another fantastic party plan to share: The Pajama Party. Sure, you’ve heard of this idea before, but I am positive there are some details in here that you may not have thought of.

The Secret Life of Bees by Sue Monk Kidd is a few years old (written in 2003), but I just read it for the first time and I was blown away. It’s the kind of book-reading experience where you want to keep sneaking away to devour just another few pages. This novel was our latest book […] Read more…
{2017 Update: While this post is now a throwback, I actually used this idea when my beloved ECE had her second child last October, and it seemed to be a hit again. For her I included dry shampoo, mascara, a fall decoration, chocolates and more!} When Olivia was born, one of the most special gifts […] Read more…
When I was approached about reviewing the Head Snuggler, I was intrigued. It’s such an original idea: a product to keep little ones’ heads from slumping over when sleeping in a carseat or stroller, but I had several questions…plus I wasn’t sure what my girls would think of it!
