My son is always asking for a snack in his backpack for after school. He just cannot wait to get home so he wants something with him. sandwich doesn't stay fresh by 3pm, fruit kinda gets warm.
A granola-type bar seems to be the perfect solution but finding one that he likes (without too much sugar) is my goal. Clif makes a bar that seems to hit the spot. It's low fat, filled with vitamins, whole oats, and no preservatives. It has the chocolate chips that he loves, with the wholesome goodness I want him to eat. It's a perfect match. Try the Spooky Smores bar- 130 calories and 3g of...continue reading
You know how it is... On any given week, we moms feel like we gain weight or lose weight. Skinny jeans that fit last week are very tight this week! Pants that you swear you wore last month seem like they were from ages ago... It's horrible! Blame it on water weight, right?
How about using this awesome little invention that is a removable and reusable button that can be adjusted along the waistband (up to one and a half sizes) on a daily basis, to achieve a tighter or looser fit instantly and WITHOUT requiring an alteration or a belt. Pretty cool! It's perfect for in-between sizes and the...continue reading
Who doesn't remember playing with Colorforms? This company has remained true to itself for the last 24 years. The styles have changed, but the product is still as fun and innovative as it was long ago. I think I spent half of my childhood putting these tiny glossy reusable stickers in different scenes!
Now Fun Pockets are perfect for on the go play. They are mess-free, easy to carry, light-weight and super cool. Your kids will love to choose from super cool characters like SpongeBob, Dora, Super Why, Diego, Wonde Pets and more. Different backdrops, small carring pouch, reusable...continue reading
I bet you are like me and have tons of your kids clothes misplaced and lost over the years. I'm always saying "where did you leave your jacket?" How many sweatshirts have your kids left at friends' houses? Shoes left at the park during a quick cleat change?
I keep a bag of "unknown and unclaimed" in a closet of everything left at my house. I try to return it- but with no names, it is impossible!
I know I can iron traditional labels on my kids' clothes, but frankly- me with an iron? Doesn't happen all that often. Mabel's Labels has a great solution. Stick on name tags that require...continue reading
A great must-have for your closet. Think about the times that you need to belt your jeans, top or dress but don't want the bulky buckle to show and stick out under your belt. Invisibelt is a small rubber belt that does its job amazingly well, but at the same time has no large buckle to "bulk-up" your look. It's hard enough for me to look like my tummy is flat without adding more "fluff" to my top. Yes, belts are very "in" right now, but we all know that sometimes our wardrobes need a belt without the bulk.

It's hard to find great sun blocks with high SPF that are tinted. When they come across my desk, I am going to share the good ones with you.
In my opinion, sunblock is not a treat- it's a necessity! It's a must have that is always in my purse (and Brooke's too!) I think it is so important to wear sun block everyday and who wouldn't want a little tinted coverage to smooth out your look?
Mersoleil makes a great one and I have used it for the last couple of weeks and really liked the results. The rest of the Mersoleil line is also amazing- a children's sunblock, after sun care, creams...continue reading
Do you ever do yoga or stretches on a yoga mat and find your hands or feet sliding off the mat - especially when you start sweating? Well, I discovered something that will help.
YogaTraction is a towel that is thin and soft with cute little raised flowers that provide traction during your workouts. The increased stability helps you get the most out of your workouts since instead of sliding; you can hold the poses or stretches.
The other part I love is that it is great to put on the mats at the gym or on the floor so you can keep other people's germs and grime off your body. And, way more...continue reading
I don't know who wanted this toy more - me or my toddler! Rody is the super cute, bouncy ride-on horse that reminds me of the jumpers I used to have as a child.
Rody is made in Italy (ooh la la!) and it is great quality. It is the same concept as the traditional bouncy ball with the handle (that I loved as a child too)!
Your child will love jumping all over the house and backyard holding this cute little pony's ears. Make sure you are close by with tiny ones because Rody can tip over if your child is not ready to balance, but Rody is so cute you can't resist! It is a little expensive,...continue reading
