We are so excited to get to be one of the first to see the new TOMS Spring Shoe Collection. Just recently TOMS debuted their TOMS Ballet Flats as part of the TOMS Spring Collection! The Toms Ballet Flat Shoes are causing quite a bit of commotion in the fashion industry. Major fashion houses and […]
I’ll admit it: I’ve always been a little bit neurotic when it comes to car seat safety. A few years ago, my kids and I were in a rollover car accident, and when the paramedics came to the scene, they told me that if my kids hadn’t been properly secured in their car seats, their […]
You’ve heard the term “staycation” before, and we’ve talked about some ideas for vacationing without leaving your general area. Sometimes, though, you might not be able to spend much money at all on your kids’ spring break. Even a day trip or a visit to a local museum might break the bank. If that’s your […]
When I was little, I remember asking my parents, “If Mothers’ Day is in May and Fathers’ Day is in June, when is Kids’ Day?” They chuckled and said, “every day is kids’ day!” At the time I didn’t understand, but as a mom, now I do. Still, though, it has recently come to my […]

Our resident TopChef and cooking advisor has some Turkey tips for you this holiday season…… It’s just my husband and I in our household, so I rarely make turkey. Perhaps a turkey breast now and then, but never a whole turkey. Besides I never needed to. Thanksgiving was always celebrated at my uncle’s house with […]
With a special holiday involving flowers, chocolate, and hearts coming up soon, you may have been planning to spend your extra money on Valentine’s Day items over the next couple of weeks. If you’re hoping to save money in February, though, those are definitely not the items that will be on sale… at least not […]
If I asked you when the best time is to stock up on school supplies, you’d say July, right? It’s when all of the big box stores tend to have boxes of crayons for fifty cents or two, 10-packs of markers for a couple of bucks, and those spiral notebooks that get caught on everything […]
