So, I am not able to get to my computer to finish up a couple posts that need to go up... BUT, that just means a little bit more than normal will come in the next couple days! Some are reviews... Some are giveaways... But all mean GREAT ideas for the holidays! I will tell you that we went to YET ANOTHER Pumpkin Patch... This is THE ONE I wanted all along... Sooooooo Yes!!!! You will see a couple of my favorites!!!! What does that mean? Extra entry for any of my giveaways when you comment on that post!!! Shhhhhhh Don't get to excited!!!! But, I am very happy with them!!! Hope you all had a great weekend!!! Here is to a Happy Monday!!!!

As we all know, as a parent of a young one, you just never seem to have enough hands!!! Some of the feeding accessories for young ones really are not that helpful when you are trying to juggle all sorts of things at the same time. Broxton and I have been reviewing the Baby Dipper and I wish we would have had this when I was having to feed him all the time! Just what is the Baby Dipper? The Baby Dipper is a bowl that is perfect for when you have to feed them, but it is great for when they are feeding themselves! You can only move the spoon or fork around the bowl so many times for the remaining food before you give up on it, right?! Not anymore!!! The Baby Dipper is in the shape of a triangle! Yes, no more circling the bowl to get the rest! you can just scoop it into the corner and there you go! The bowl bottom even slants to one end, so that is the end it all goes to! Great thinking!!!! I like the way it looks. At first, I thought it was glass and I was a bit concerned... I for o...

When I first had Broxton, I was exhausted... I felt like every single second was needed to devote for him... Sometimes I barely had time to get a shower, much less wash my hair! :) Please, do not let me be the only one! Truthfully, I do not wash my hair everyday... I have not done that in a while now. I do rinse everyday... but not the whole shampoo and condition! Back in my days in the "bar biz" it was always go, go, go. Not always due to work, but you know what I mean! I wish I would have had Shampowder then!!!! For the days when a quick touch up would be nice, you could use this!!! Have you heard of Shampowder before? Basically, they have 3 to choose from: Dark for brunettes and redheads Light for blondes Black for black hair... I have to laugh at myself when I think about it... I was curious as to why you would need to know the hair color when ordering... Duh!!! Just like powder for your face, it has to blend!!!! The Shampowder absorbs the oils in your hair... The powd...

Welcome to this week’s edition of Aloha Friday. In Hawaii, Aloha Friday is the day that we take it easy and look forward to the weekend. My question : Do you travel out of town for the holidays?

Please do not forget, lots of contests going on!

If you really think about all the trash that results from grabbing to go food... We are all really making a HUGE impact on the landfills! I am not even counting the containers/bags... I am just talking about the to-go utensils. Think about it... You are out of town for work. Maybe you do not want to go out to eat every meal, so you grab something and bring it back to your hotel room. There you go... To-Go Utensils. You grab something to take back to the office... To-Go Utensils... I am not going to go on and on, because we ALL know what I am talking about. BUT, I do want to tell you a CUTE way to help eliminate your part of the problem. Have you heard of Green Ostrich ? They have several great green gifts that are sure to be a hit with everyone on your list! Quick side note... I wanted to know why they picked an Ostrich... Education right here : (from their site) Why did we pick an ostrich ? The ostrich is one of the most Earth-friendly animals in the world. They compare favorably wi...

With the holidays approaching, I am sure parties have entered your mind... I love to party... but I am not good at getting the food together for the party! I have things in mind, but can not seem to get it worked out! Now, I can at least have cheese to serve! (and it not only tastes great, it looks great too!) I was able to review Alouette Cheese . Now, I have noticed it before at the store, but I have never bought it... I am glad I did!!! I tried the Garlic and Herbs... YUMMY!!!! (They even give you a few serving suggestions... Like on a sandwich, or topped on a baked potato! Can not wait to try these!) Spinach and Artichoke is up next for me to try!!! But, I think my favorite was the Sundried Tomatoes and Garlic Spreadable Cheese Log. The tomatoes were still moist! I was expecting it to be like dried flakes.. but not the case! I am not going to lie... If we have people over during the holidays, this will be served! I will plate it all nice and pretty... Add different types of cr...
