Last week, I took a trip down memory lane.  As part of a promotion, General Mills, Target Stores and Atari have teamed up to bring sexy the good times back.  Now, in Target stores across the country you can find five limited-edition General Mill cereals sporting retro looks. Each box features a game or toy.  Remember cutting out the back of the boxes?  Ha!  This promotion lasts until March 7th.  General Mills cereals also sport Box Tops 4 Education.  (I collect these puppies faithfully.  If you ever need a place to sent your extra box tops to, email me.) How many readers remember having an Atari?  In 1982, about 10 million people owned and used Atari VCS consoles. We had one…which... [more]

I love football.  High school, college and pro.  I love it all!  Of course, I bleed red with my Nebraska Huskers, but we’re also fans of the New York Jets.  While I was disappointed that they didn’t make it to the Superbowl, I’m a fan of the New Orleans Saints…it’s all good! That said, the Superbowl is one of my favorite days of the year.  I make finger foods for the family to enjoy all night long.  Last year we had, spicy wings, spinach artichoke dip, bbq meatballs, 7 layer mexican dip and stuffed puffed pastry bites.  It was delicious…and fun!  I’d have to rate it as a perfect day.  I guess that is why I’m excited for the game on Sunday. ... [more]

I know I have dry lips…it’s the time of year where everything is incredibly dry.  My hair stands on end, my lips peel and my hands are cracked.  I’m used to it…but that doesn’t mean I like it.  Recently, I took the Neosporin 3-Day Challenge provided by Mom Central.

See that button on the on the right, the one about the Itzy Bitzy shoes?  There’s a story behind it. Back in December, I bought Paige these shoes: Not from the Itzy Bitzy Store, but that’s irrelevant.  What I was thinking…I don’t know, because I ordered them 2 sizes too big.  Yeah.  That’s a problem…but Paige doesn’t care!  She loves these shoes and wears them everywhere.  Even though they are two sizes to big!  They are squeaky shoes…so I can always hear her.  You wouldn’t believe how many people compliment her shoes.  Which Paige totally eats up.  At the young age of 29 months, that girl has a passion for shoes.  She knows what... [more]

This giveaway is now closed.  Congrats to Laurie Murley, comment # 76! In my quest to get organized, I’ve come across Joey Junior Purse Organizers. I have been using the Original Purse Organizer for a while and I have to say, it works!  I carry a large handbag, I always have, always will.  Usually, my stuff ends up at the bottom and I’m left digging.  Keys, iPod, phone, tissues, chapstick.  It drives me nuts!  Since I’ve been using the Joey Junior Purse Organizer, I’m able to keep my purse tidy.  Instead of carrying a bag full of stuff around, I feel like I carry my wallet, a current book and the Purse Organizer.  When I feel like changing purses, I have 3 things... [more]

When I was little my brother and I had a table and chairs set.  My mom ended up saving it and it lasted until Johnny was 4.  At that point, it was close to 25 years old and Johnny had taken it apart and put it back together so many times it finally fell apart. I was interested in finding a table set for Paige, but wanted something that she could pass along to her children…and so on.  I found that in the Mini Furniture by Svan found at Anka Baby Store. The Mini Furniture is a child-sized table with 3 chairs and an adult friendly stool.  Through my search, I’ve looked at many table sets.  The Mini Furniture was the first set that offered a seat for adults.  Very important for... [more]
