*I was sent the Aladdin Mason Entertaining Collection to use and review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.* With Easter right around the corner, I am starting to think about my table settings for my family dinner (that sounds SO Martha of me, doesn’t it? Haha). Sure I could use these adorable Aladdin jars […]
Energy Efficient Lighting with the GE Reveal Light Bulb
*I was sent this product to review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.** We have been on a spring cleaning, make-our-home-more-energy-efficient kick lately (a result of the unusually harsh winter we had in Philadelphia with its sky high electric bill? Possibly.) Switching to higher efficiency light bulbs has been on our list, but we […]
Avero Bar Italiano in Wayne Pleases This Fussy Italian!
I am a little particular when it comes to Italian food, and for good reason. I am half Italian (my mom’s side) and she raised me on old-school, homemade stuff. So I have pretty high standards. Keeping this in mind, when I was invited to a blogger dinner at Avero, I wasn’t sure what to […]
Post-Dinner Snack Attack
Every other Monday is a marathon in our house. I get my daughter off the bus for dance class and then return to the studio to pick her up and whisk her off to Brownies. After trying to coordinate schedules that seem more complicated than international peace talks, her Chinese lesson ended up starting at […]
Big Game Day Entertaining Without Inviting Norovirus
Entertaining is tough on any occasion – especially with a bigger group. You have people with different tastes in music, food and general group related activities. The nice thing about having a party on Super Bowl day is that: ONE, there are a buzzillion fun, warm recipes floating around the Internet to flavor the buffet […]
Eat Like a Dino and 5 Other Ways to Introduce Kids to New Foods
My first child ate everything but I knew not to take credit for that. Some kids are just more cautious than others about new foods. Sure enough, my second (and now third) kids required more coaxing to get a balanced diet. My second child loves dinosaurs and when he was a kid, we would tell […]
Fuel for Afterschool
We’re on the road, trying to make it to gymnastics by warm-up with enough time to pull on leotards and hit the restrooms, and the kids are squabbling: “Gimme, it’s mine.” “You’re going to break it.” “Well, you’re a rooty-tooty face!” What is up with these kids? And what the heck is a “rooty-tooty face,” […]
Getting a Great Start with Kellogg’s
We’re a busy family. Isn’t everyone, these days? In between running my own business and volunteering, I take care of my four children, ages 7 and under (including the newborn who joined the team this November). So, I am teaming up with Kellogg’s this winter to learn about getting off to a great start. Over […]
Host a Festive Holiday Sweater Party with Goodwill!
I swear the days go by faster and faster every year. Here we are, in the midst of the 2013 holiday season and where did the year go? A fun way to commemorate holidays past is to host, yep, you guessed it, a holiday sweater party! If you don’t have anything to wear, take […]
Stokke Tripp Trapp Chair is Perfect for Growing Children
* I received the Stokke Tripp Trapp® Chair to facilitate this review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.* There comes a point where your little boy or girl simply outgrows their high chair, but they are still too small to sit in an adult sized chair at the table. So we buy booster […]
