This post is from from my other blog here As a mom blogger, I'm approached by all sort of companies promoting their baby products, toys and clothes. Usually, it's the same old thing. Occasionally, I do find products that are out of the ordinary. For example, an online store featuring high quality, educational, lead free toys or gorgeous personalized children's books. But I'm happy to report I've found a terrific online store out of Georgia that not only makes personalized baby clothes, burp pads, bibs and baby blankets, but also carries great toddler and sibling gifts that will get your kids drawing, writing, cooking, and making believe. Read my ...

This post is from from my other blog here  I'm always on the lookout for cleaning products that will make my life easier. First, I signed up with Shaklee so I could get their Get Clean Starter Kit. Their product do a great job on counter tops, in the laundry, and on glass. Plus, they're environmentally friendly. Another "green" cleaning product I tried was Clorox's Green Works. (You can read my review of Green Works here.) Again, another great product that works well on surfaces and glass.
But nothing could touch old fashioned Scrubbing Bubbles when it came to cleaning my sinks and showers. You see - confession ...

This post is from from my other blog here  "What's that noise?" my friend Karen asked me as we were walking around the track during our community's Relay for Life event.
"Oh those are my keys," I said. I had hooked them to my shorts. "But it sounds like bells," Karen said. "Well, that's because there's a bell on my key chain," I replied. I then explained to Karen that I had bought a little tiny cow bell on our trip to France last year thinking that when I drop my keys, I'll hear the noise. You see I had gone through a few months of losing all ...

This post is from from my other blog here  How's your summer? All I can say is that I'm looking forward to school starting - only 55 days to go!
Our school district is starting early this year on August 18. I hear other areas of the country are starting even earlier. Heck, before you know it you'll be seeing school supplies on sale. I remember last year - I made several trips to various stores to take advantage of their sales. (I buy extra supplies and donate them to the school and teachers.) One day, I went with a friend to shop. Between the two of ...

This post is from from my other blog here Here's a guest post from Karen of the Scraps of Mind blog, which is about the fine art of digital scrapbooking. I don't scrapbook (digital or otherwise) since I'm more of a writer than a crafter. (That's why I blog!) However, if you're a busy mom who loves to scrapbook, but doesn't have the time for it, you need to check out her blog and her new service Step by Step Digital Scrapbook.

This post is from from my other blog here 
My daughter Lucie got her picture in the Carbon Valley Edition of the Daily Times-Call today. (I was featured last week in their business spotlight section - ‘Mommy blogger’ has found outlet for her writing.) The photograph was taken by Morgan Varon from the newspaper. It's a wonderfully creative shot. Nathan was mad that he didn't get in the newspaper. Actually he did a few months ago when the paper took pictures of kids playing basketball at the rec center. Lucie and Nathan were part of a group of kids from our school who participated in a community ...

This post is from from my other blog here  Today was the first day of Lucie's summer preschool camp. The theme was "Pirate Adventures" and boy did the teachers go to town with their costumes. Miss Debbie was a swashbuckling pirate lad and Miss Jodi, a buccaneering pirate captain. There's nothing like having the preschool director walk around in a giant fuzzy red hat, an eye patch, and a drawn on mustache to make your day.
I must say, it was a hilarious start to the summer preschool camp season. The children made their own kids costumes such as: |

I'm not sure why the Hindus decided that
