If you think about it, it has to grab your attention... right?  I am not quite sure how or when eos came into our lives... but it did... and it has not left.  Nope- not at all.  I believe someone gave me an eos sphere and from that moment on, I was hooked.  I did make the mistake of leaving a sphere easily in reach of my preschooler and he took it upon himself to open it and take a chunk out of it.  LESSON LEARNED.  I started putting it out of reach... but he would still ask to have "lipstick" each morning and night.  I guess he gets it honest, as that is the main times I will ALWAYS apply it.  I

I will start this post by saying that Broxton is not as "into" dinosaurs as other kids.   He likes them and thinks they are neat,but he could not tell you all the different kinds if he had to.  That being said - the other day, he spotted Walking With Dinosaurs The Movie and decided that he really wanted to watch it.  Now, I fell asleep after about 20 minutes or so ... I don't know if it was because I am not a dinosaur fan or what, but I did wake up a few times and he was totally in a dino-trance!  Once the movie was over, he immediately asked if I could let him watch it with his daddy...  (No, he did not get to watch it back to back!)  But - we did go to a dinosaur exhibit the next day (review to

I don't know about you - but if you enter a house that smells good, you just get this extra Welcome feel to the place.  I know that whenever I go home, I notice that my mom has this certain scent to the house... It is a welcome scent and it always makes me smile...  Well, our house never has the same scent - except for when Marc decides he wants candles- then it is the same scent.... but for me, I like to rotate the smells and I have been totally in love with the Air Wick Line.   We have been having the National Parks collection. I admit, I am a bit obsessed with them.  They just ALL smell so good!!!!  Recently, I was informed that they had decided to release a "familiar favorites"  collectio

As I mentioned before, we are still pretty new to the "World of Reading" series... but I am really enjoying the books so far!  I love how the levels mature with the kids... We were recently sent  World Of Reading - This is Captain America   from Disney Books and I personally enjoyed it.  Broxton is a big fan of the Avengers - Captain America being his favorite, but I never really knew "how" Cap became who he was...    Reading this book gave us the background on Cap and we both really enjoyed it.  I know that this will be awesome for him when he starts actually reading next year.   Up next was the World of Reading - Spidey's New Costume .  Being that we are not really "that&quo

I know that Dora is very popular among girls, but as long as he is loving it... I am too!   Actually, one of his teammates on the baseball team has a little sister that is a HUGE Dora fan - she has the backpack, the shoes and all the other things...  I think it is awesome that they incorporate educational things, such as learning Spanish, in this show... you can imagine the benefit for kids that are learning additional languages...  When they are adults, it will really help them out!!!  At least I think it will!  Well, Nickelodeon is helping you help entertain and educate your little ones!  Head out and grab t
