BabiLovLinks Review – Jewerly for Mom and Curious Babies | Giveaway (10/10)

If you're a nursing mom, you know that when your nursling starts actually holding on to things, nursing your little one becomes a little less sweet and a little irritating! You know what I'm talking about.  That's right.  When the scratching and pinching starts, you know you've got to have something for a distraction.  Jett is almost 2, and just because he knows better than to scratch me when he's nursing, doesn't meant that he still doesn't do it!  Lately, he's started gently rubbing with his fingertips while forming a fist.  It doesn't hurt at all, but on extra sensitive…

Motorola Talkabout MT350R Review – Great for Emergency Preparedness

Hurricane season is in full swing, and although we haven't had any worrisome disturbances hit the Texas coast, it doesn't hurt to be prepared. We've had our fair share of pretty tough weather in the Houston area, and now that our family has moved closer to the bay, of course, hurricanes are definitely a threat.  When Hurricane Rita came in 2005, and Hurricane Ike came through in 2008, this area was affected by the storms. If you're in a hurricane zone, all I can advise is to be prepared -- and don't rely on your cell phones!  I'm so glad…

Chicco Red Bullet Balance Bike Review

Not too long ago, one of my neighbors paid another one of my neighbors (teenager) to teach his son how to ride his bike.  He learned in about 10 minutes, so it was pretty much a quick payday for the teenager!  However, we still have several little ones in the neighborhood to teach to ride a bike, and we'll either have to do it ourselves or go broke fairly quickly. One of the products that we've found is a great help at a really early age is the Chicco Red Bullet Balance Bike to help them learn how to balance…

Creepiest Halloween Decorations – Ever | #halloween

I didn't say scariest.  I said creepiest.  I know we used that phrase all the time "creepiest ever!" or "best ever", but there is something about a zombie mom holding a corpse baby that's just plain creepy and almost not right. My daughter and I found this in one of those Halloween stores that are only open for a couple of months each year. Just looking at it was enough to make our jaws drop, but when you step on the little foot pedal that's supposed to be hidden under something for guests to unknowingly step on when they walk…

bluum Monthly Boxes for Moms and Kiddos Review

It seems like every time I turn around, there's a new "box of the month" site that pops up.  Just this weekend, Andy was telling me that they even have them for adults!  It's a really neat concept, if you think about it.  You pay a monthly fee, the company sends you a box with stuff you probably wouldn't have even thought about buying,  and you're instantly turned on to new brands!  Genius. At first, I was skeptical, but when my box showed up, I was really excited to see all of the great (and yummy) stuff that came in…
