Holiday Recommendation: Zhu-Fari Fun #Giveaway
I just knew that ZhuZhu Pets would be a quickly passing trend when we started investing money in the different pets and accessories, but surprisingly my daughter still plays with her ZhuZhu pets and is now excitedly playing with the new ones – ZhuZhu Zhu-Fari! Cameron has 6 different hamsters and more accessories than I could count, and when the Zhu-Fari package arrived she was as excited as she is on Christmas morning. Thanks to a special … Read entire article »

Helping Plan a Wedding
I’ve never been married myself, and I have to admit that I am glad after helping a friend this past week with some of her plans. Well not so much glad that I’ve not been married, but glad that I’ve not had to plan a wedding. When/If I decide to take this plunge, courthouse here I come. From the big details to the little like finding wedding videographers, it’s all too much for me. Who knew there were so many little aspects and details to deal with? Ugh! … Read entire article »

Coming Soon: Jake & the Never Land Pirates Holiday Episode
If you’ve read my blog much, you know that we are big Disney fans. I love to sit and watch the Disney cartoons with my daughter (maybe more than she enjoys them). One of my favorite of the Disney Junior cartoons is Jake and the Never Land Pirates (of course I’m also a pirates fan). Since its launch, Disney Junior is continuously breaking all previous records for Disney Channel’s preschool programming. Jake and the Never Land … Read entire article »

Unique Gifts for School Personnel
There are a few people on campus that are really good to my daughter and that she always want to buy something extras special for on Christmas. Our school nurse is one of those (she is also a close family friend). I am thinking that we may buy her nursing scrubs from Marcus this year. They have some very unique scrubs and the prices are not that bad. If you have any nurses on your … Read entire article »

Hot Stocking Stuffer: FyrFlyz
My daughter is really bad about the “I want that” for every commercial with anything geared towards her age, and this time of year, the companies are doing some major promotion on television. There are always the big things – this year it’s a new iPod Touch and a Kindle Touch., and it’s usually pretty easily for me to decide what I’ll buy off of her big lists, but then there’s all the small things. … Read entire article »

School Year Worry: A Lice Visit
Each year as the school year is officially back and we are settled in to our school routines, there is always at least one lice scare. Because I teach at the same school as my daughter, I know when lice is going around, and I become paranoid. I swear my head starts itching from the moment I hear the word (yes, I’m itching right now as I write this post). As we enter the tenth week … Read entire article »

Fun Toys with a World Vision
My daughter is almost out of the doll stage, but occasionally one comes around that she still “has to have.” When I learned about Trash Can Kidz, I thought this is one that she’d love, and I’d love to promote as TrashCanKidz.com contributes 20% of all revenues received to improving the lives of the abandoned children in the world. Many companies are generous, but not many are this generous. So we signed up to be … Read entire article »

Unique Way to Display Your Honors, Artwork, & So Much More
I love displaying pictures, artwork, and other treasured mementos. My walls are covered in photos. You could almost say that my walls are wallpapered with family pictures. Additionally my refrigerator is covered with not only my daughter’s artwork but that of my niece and even family friends love to come display their artwork on our refrigerator. There are always some items though that just don’t fit in a traditional frame or on the refrigerator. How do you … Read entire article »

The True Story of Puss ‘N Boots
While I remember my parents reading me fairy tales growing up, I don’t think many children today can say that. I have to admit that even reading to my own daughter, there was such a large selection of books that a lot of the classics were overlooked. One overlooked fairy tale is that of Puss N Boots. When I mentioned that we were receiving The True Story of Puss ‘N Boots, my daughter was really excited. … Read entire article »
