It turns out that no matter how tough the economy is people are still willing to pamper their pets. A recent poll conducted by The Associated Press shows that pet owners plan to spend an average of $46 on their furry friends this year. That’s up $5 from last year! Toys and treats are topping […]
Creative uses for leftover Halloween candy
Let’s face it, as much as we all LOVE candy. There is such a thing as too much. Whether it be for the kids or for us parents. I just stumbled upon a list of creative uses for extra Halloween candy that I think would definitely be worth giving a whirl. So, if you have […]
Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies
I love anything with pumpkin so I decided to get creative and put a new twist on my chocolate chip cookie recipe.
Report: TV under 2 is dangerous…so why do we let them watch?
The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) just released a report that says plopping children under two in front of a television screen is a no-no. Not shocking, but a little surprising. Being a mom of a 14-month-old I’m very conscious about how much ‘screen time’ is around Chloé. That also includes a show I may […]
Costume obsessed
I wonder if it’s because I’m a new mom? But, over the weekend I purchased my 4th Halloween costume for Chloe. She is only 14 months old and we have gone through multiple ones. The problem is, I keep buying everything online, so it either doesn’t fit, or isn’t what I was looking for. My […]
Halloween costumes for your pet
A recent Savers Halloween Shopping Survey actually found dog costumes are growing in popularity. Pet owners expect to spend $59 on average to costume their four-legged family member. This is more than they expect to spend on themselves or their kids’ costumes! Since we are less than two weeks away from Halloween, some of you […]
How old is too old for baby carrier?

momAgenda, day planners for moms
Even before I had a child I was obsessed with day planners and organizers. That was one of my favorite things to buy when back-to-school shopping. I know, I’m a geek. I feel like at this point, I’ve tried them all. The student planner, the leather “sophisticated” planner, the pocket planner, the free calendar planner […]
Healthy Howl-oween
One of my favorite things about the Rachael Ray magazine is the healthy, pet recipes that are included in every issue. Often I make homemade dog biscuits for Riley because it’s fun, healthy and affordable. Not to mention he whimpers at the sight of them! I’ve never seen him get more excited over anything. He […]
Homemade breakfast bowls for baby
Since my daughter is 13 months now, she can eat almost everything my husband and I eat. Sometimes, when it’s just Chloé and I, I’m at a loss as to what to cook for both of us because it doesn’t always make sense to make a ‘complete’ meal. In my house we have a saying […]
2011 holiday hot toy list announced
It’s not even Halloween yet, but already we’re talking Christmas. In my opinion, it’s never too early because I love the sights, smells and sounds that come with it. The hustle and bustle at the mall I can do without! Last year was my daughter’s first Christmas, and thanks to her I did a lot […]
