The other night, I gathered up a few friends, set out some goodies and headed to my nearest Blockbuster Express to rent Bridesmaids, a movie I have been dying to see! But, being of funny mind and evil spirit, I had a plan for this girls night that was like no other! But, first, to [...]
Last weekend I called my friends and their children, made some froggy cupcakes and had a blast playing with the new LeapPad learning tablet, the Tag Reading System and the LeapFrog Interactive World Map with them! I have a LeapFrog Party! We are not a huge 'electronics' family. I mean, we have some things for [...]
With every toy out there seemingly needing a charger or batteries, I find myself craving a toy that needs brain power instead of electric power for my kids. I mean, those toys are great, but I want my kids to learn how to think and use their minds instead of having things flash at them [...]

On October 12, 2011, a new DVD hit store shelves that is sure to please any child, boy or girl, come holiday time! Chuggington: The Chugger Championship grabbed onto my girls attention – aged 2 -5 – and entertained them throughout the six episode DVD. In fact, we watched it each episode at a time during [...]
My 5 year old is on the verge of reading! Really reading! I am so excited for her because now she can open any book and read it to herself and get most of the words to the story through her sight words and thus the general idea of the book. Her world is about [...]
A few weeks ago, I got a pretty package in the mail with four packages of Sante Nuts in it. I looked over the flavors, told my salivation glands to simmer down, and opened the package of Candied Pecans. And finished the whole bag right then and there. I did not even have a chance [...]
Almost a week ago, I was TRILLED to pick up a 2012 Chevrolet Traverse White Diamond Crossover SUV to test drive for Chevy for two weeks. I'll admit that I was a little nervous about its size. It is one of the perks to being a Houston Chevy Girl on the Go! I drive a [...]
My husband is mad at me. No, I did not forget to wash his socks. I did not throw kids at him the minute he walked in the door from work. I did not tell his friends that he has a habit of leaving his boots right where I can fall over them. Nope… nothing [...]
In the interest of trying to provide a cleaner, healthier house, I am developing an interest in the more natural products that are on the shelves for my family. I have seen Green Works by Clorox. Even picked up a bottle or two, read the label, and then put it back. Not because I did [...]
Every once in a while, while lost in the world of popular tv shows and DVD’s for kids, I long for something different. Something classic and fun for the whole family to sit and watch over and over again! Academy Award Nominee, The Gruffalo, narrated by Helena Bonham Carter, is a breath of fresh air [...]
Believe it or not, it is time to start thinking of wonderful Christmas presents for the stocking and under the tree! And there is no better place to get started than a movie for those cold, snowy afternoons when the family curls up under warm blankets and you listen to your children laugh with glee [...]
