I will admit that I’m not great at getting outside with my girls. I’m an indoor girl myself, and too focused on productivity and multitasking to just stop and smell the flowers (though now being able to read/work poolside is definitely a huge draw). I love that my daughters have reached the age that I can send […] Read more…
Walmart’s New (and FREE!) Live Better Magazine
You know how I love my magazines, and last month Walmart launched a brand-new (and free) publication.

The picture says it all, really, but my Dad custom-built this amazing treadmill desk for his crazy multitasking daughter. Doesn’t everyone want to write articles and report cards while they exercise? Next step…finding a way to bling it up a bit so it’s not so plain looking. Thoughts? Read more…
femMED Supplements For Women: Win Your Choice!
Giveaway open to Canada and US. Sleep has always been very important for me. (My mother would argue that I am still making up for getting none the first few months of my life.) I’ve blogged about it before, but I like to get to bed at a decent time (9-10ish on weeknights, 10-11ish on […] Read more…
The Great Swaddle Debate
I came across an article in the February issue of Today’s Parent that caught my eye, as it was all about swaddling (“The Right Way To Swaddle” by Lisa Van De Geyn).

Forget about tacking on the “Disclosure” at the end of this post: I’m going to be upfront and tell you that Nestlé sent me a box of their assorted snack size bars as an incentive to share the information below with you. While I will work for chocolate (it it weren’t for my blogging ethics, a […] Read more…
Nitwits: If Head Lice Hits Our House, I Am So Going Here
So far (knock on wood) we have not experienced head lice in our household. If we ever do, I likely won’t blog about it anyway, out of respect for my children’s privacy. But man, if one of my girls ever gets it, I will totally be banging down the door of Nitwits…which I just heard […] Read more…
