A different way to give your spouse a gift

November 28, 2012 By Courtney

After spending years with a significant other or spouse sometimes buying gifts can be daunting, especially if your husband or wife has everything they need. My husband Walt and I are definitely in that boat this year. This will be our 9th Christmas as a couple and our focus for this holiday season is mostly […]

Baby sprinkle for second child with nearest and dearest

November 26, 2012 By Courtney

We’ve got less than seven weeks to go before Baby Boy Buteau makes his debut, and I was lucky enough to get ‘sprinkled’ with some much-needed necessities from family and friends over the holiday weekend. For those who haven’t heard (believe me, I didn’t know either at first!), a baby sprinkle is a step below […]

One week until Black Friday, are you ready?

November 16, 2012 By Courtney

One week and counting until Black Friday, and if you’re one of the millions who plan to shop, it’s best to arm yourself with some helpful tips. You’ll need it! I’m more of a Cyber Monday shopper myself, but I’ve gotten some great deals on Black Friday from computer monitors, to a flatscreen TV, to […]

My first Thankful Thursday

November 15, 2012 By Courtney

Since next Thursday is Thanksgiving, and I’ll probably be too full to move an inch, I most likely won’t be posting. So, it’s only fitting that my first ever “Thankful Thursday” post be written today. An online group I’m a part of called Rhody Bloggers, posts each week on this very topic and I noticed […]

Top 10 Maternity Must-Haves

November 13, 2012 By Courtney

Since this is my second go-around with pregnancy I feel pretty comfortable about what products I need vs. products I think I need. There are so many gadgets out there that it’s easy to want all of it. My list for maternity must-haves is all over the board, but to me they’ve all been helpful […]

Just in time for the holidays: Secret Pinterest boards!

November 12, 2012 By Courtney

Secret boards

As if us moms need another reason to start pinning on Pinterest, but just last week users were allowed to finally create a secret board! The private board can be used to collect ideas for things that you don’t want the whole world to see. This is great if you’re trying to collect gift ideas, […]

For the digital mom: New online ways to donate to Sandy victims

November 7, 2012 By Courtney

Being eight months pregnant and a full-time working mom to a two-year-old sure keeps me busy. But, it should definitely never be an excuse to not help others in need. Working at a television news station I’ve seen my share of horribly depressing stories and it often leaves me feeling like I wish I could […]

Booster seat ratings released and mine is on the ‘Not Recommended List’

October 25, 2012 By Courtney

This morning, The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety released it’s latest “booster seat” ratings. The group found 15 of 17 seats introduced in 2012 have earned their “Best Bet” rating. However, two boosters are not recommended because they don’t provide proper belt fit and consumers are advised to avoid them. We happen to own one […]

It’s National Reading Month, so curl up with your kids and a good book!

March 7, 2012 By Courtney

March is National Reading Month and it serves as a good reminder for families to read some new books, re-visit old ones or to step up their story-time game with their children. Since Chloé was a baby I have made sure to incorporate reading into our everyday routine. We don’t just save it for bedtime, […]

Best free or low-cost iPhone Apps for Moms

February 7, 2012 By Courtney

Thanks to my husband, on Christmas I became the proud owner of an iPhone. While I consider myself a techie mom, this was the first time I’ve ever had a smartphone. Why wait so long, you ask? Well, I couldn’t justify paying for the data plan when I work all day on a computer and […]
