Rainy Day Indoor Fun: Nerfoop Pro Basketball Set Review

April 27, 2010

I remember my brother having a Nerf basketball set as a kid. We’d spend hours trying to dunk and shoot like the greats – Magic, Bird and Kareem – swearing that we were just as good as they were. When I got word that I was going to receive a Nerfoop Pro Basketball set for [...]

Rain, Rain Go AWAY!

April 26, 2010

Rain is one of the most dreaded things around my house. My energetic little boys simply adore being outside and when they are forced inside from a nasty turn in the weather, things can get ugly FAST. Boredom sets in quickly and before long, my house is turned into a disaster area from their escapades [...]

Tiny Prints Greetings Giveaway

April 23, 2010

Sending cards is something that I always have great intentions to do, but something always goes terribly wrong with the execution. I either buy them early then forget to send them, or completely forget about it until the special date has passed and I am left apologizing for overlooking someone or something.  I really do [...]

Life…It’s a Real Beach

March 30, 2010

Last week we were blessed with a few days of gorgeous weather, so I took the opportunity to get the kids outside and in the fresh air. The last time I tried this, we ended up at a local park where I saw some inappropriate (AHEM!) behavior in the parking lot by the parents of [...]

Make Sure Kids Are Counted: Census 2010

March 4, 2010

Every child loves a good game of hide and seek. There are the fun butterflies they get in their tummies when they’re waiting to be discovered and the pride they feel when they’re able to count to ten and then yelling, “Ready or not, here I come!” But children who are hidden from the U.S. [...]

Is winter ever going to end?

March 1, 2010

Usually I am the first one to get excited when the weatherman says there’s snow coming. There’s nothing I love more than a good, deep snowfall. Something about the falling snow and the thoughts of being stuck in the house for a couple of days makes me feel all cozy and domestic. Until this year… [...]

Disney Left Me With The Warm Fuzzies

February 27, 2010

We’ve been back from Disney for almost 2 weeks now and I’ve yet post about the true magic that we experienced while we were on our trip. I’ve been a little distracted by getting caught up on work, plus I have a cold that doesn’t seem to want to disappear. *hack, hack* I have tons [...]

When You Wish Upon A Star

January 19, 2010

Sometimes dreams really do come true! Wanting to take your children to Disney World is something that just about every parent dreams of and I am no exception. Since J could barely walk, I dreamed of taking him to the Happiest Place on Earth. I spent hours researching costs, hunting down ways to make the [...]

Chuggington is Coming!

January 15, 2010

I’m going to take the broken record route and say again that K and D are total train freaks. Not a day goes by that we don’t have at least one track set up, be it Thomas, GeoTrax, or some other random set. On trips through town, we have to run down the side streets [...]
