The music buzz this week has definitely been the world of Country Music with the Country Music Awards taking place this past Wednesday in Nashville. So, it only seems appropriate that my Friday Favorite this week is Norah Jones’ latest album …Featuring!

I’m traveling this week. To LA (more on that later). By myself. I don’t know the last time I actually traveled by myself — at least someplace further than a few hours away, let alone on an airplane. I think it was college, which was more than 10 years ago. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve [...]

A few weeks ago we went to visit my sister and her family.  They just moved to the St. Louis area this summer and this was my (and the girls’) first trip to St. Louis.  Even my parents made the trip down, which made it that much more fun… Breakfast just isn’t breakfast without Ronald [...]

I’ve written here before about my favorite iPhone accessory — the Credit Card Case for the iPhone 3G and the iPhone 4 from Case-Mate!  I could easily start raving about it again now and about how much I would love to just head over to Case-Mate.com and buy the purple or green case now that [...]

Congratulations to Kelly D. for winning the Method “Fight the Flu” kit! You can all win even more prizes tonight at the #ecowed Twitter party (10p-11p EST). Don’t forget to follow @MethodTweet and @TheSmartMama! Sounds like an oxymoron, doesn’t it? Cleaning while pregnant? Who does that?  Sadly, unless you’re one of the lucky ones who [...]

The time has come for the girls to share a bedroom.  Yikes!  We were holding off as long as possible but we also wanted to make sure we gave them some time to get used to it all before the baby comes. Why were we (and by we I  mean me) hesitant? It’s just been [...]

This seemed like the longest Halloween weekend ever! I think it was mostly due to the fact that our area just couldn’t decide on just one day to do trick-or-treating! Weird, I know. It was a no-brainer for most communities around the country…you trick-or-treat on Halloween night (i.e. Sunday night). But communities in our area [...]

Congratulations Laura! You are the winner of the iTunes Gift Card! You will be receiving an email from me shortly about claiming your prize. It’s like crack for babies and toddlers! Crack that envelopes all of their attention with it’s music and puppets and little toys dancing across the screen! It’s a beautiful, wonderful thing. [...]

Growing up I remember my Great Aunt Margie making us these little Halloween treat bags for when we came to her house trick-or-treating. They weren’t anything much but they were special. Different. Just for us. I loved that! As a mom of a preschooler, I love the idea of doing fun little themed treats for [...]

We compromised! Finally, after much debate and a pretty irritated mommy, Abbi and I came up with a costume she could wear to her Imagination Day Celebration (aka. Halloween Party) at school! Originally she was going to be Tinker Bell and then, somewhere in the last week or two, she decided she no longer wanted [...]
