Educational. Beautifully told. Brightly illustrated. Heartwarming. That is Stellaluna. And how do I know this? Because the first time I put the movie in to show my kids, I was drawn into ity as well and sat and watched the whole thing with them! That is when I realized that this is really a family [...]
About a month ago I got this box in the mail that I had anticipated and was super excited to see! It was.... wait for it... SHOES! I'll hold a moment while you soak it in. Now, I am not a clothes horse by any means. I never have been. And I am not one [...]
“Every mommy needs a pretty bracelet to wear!” Those were my words to Coppin’s Hallmark when they asked me if I could be interested in reviewing their products.

One of the things I have to do this year is get in shape! And I am having to do more than just eat right because I am an almost 40 woman and it just does not happen as easily as it used to! SO 'What's My Sport?". My preferred sport is Tennis. Love it. Played [...]
There is a wonderful movie coming out on DVD, on demand and in digital release March 6, 2012 that is based on a fantastic book by Wendy Mass. Academy Award Winner Mira Sorvino and Emmy Award Winning Joe Pantoliano star in Jeremy Fink and The Meaning of Life. This is a clever movie about a 12 [...]
My kids are pretty good about brushing their teeth. I have to remind them to do it but they think it is kind of fun. One thing I do wish, though, is that they would brush longer. And except for my standing and telling them 20 times to keep brushing, nothing else has seemed to [...]
There are some really wonderful children’s books available these days. Books that educate, encourage the use of imagination and stay with a child for years to come. But there is no way I could find them all on my own. So I am always honored when creative, high quality books are brought to my attention! [...]

Because everyone from Dora to the Bubble Guppies are [...]
