Recipies, reviews and random rants from a mom of two!
This is a sponsored post from OneToOne Network and Barbie. I'm super excited that I'll be attending the Barbie is Moving Tour stop in Chicago and can't wait to tweet all about it! Did you hear?

She's especially fond of the purple one, because purple is her favorite color, and likes the red one as well. For her, getting a cough and cold is a treat because if she's bad enough, I'll give her some medicine to help with the … [Read more...]

My little princess loves the colors pink and blue and I'm pretty sure W has always been her favorite letter in honor of Walt Disney. She loves playing with makeup, pretending to cook in the kitchen and acting like she's a magic princess. Lately I haven't been able to spend as much time with her as I've wanted to so I decided it was time for some mother/daughter … [Read more...]
I'm pregnant. I remember the first time I said those words out loud. It was a mix of joy, surprise and excitement! After waiting until the end of my first trimester to make the announcement to family and friends, the fun part started. I began to plan my daughter's room (I had a scan at 15 weeks where 18 out of 20 ultrasound techs in the room thought it was a girl, … [Read more...]
Don't shoot the messenger but did you realize that in a few months, we'll be getting out the holiday decorations, planning our family meals and shopping for presents?! If you're like me, you like to do most of your shopping online.

You see, I moved from a city with a handful of parks … [Read more...]
