My curiosity got the best of me. I just had to know what was out there. I wanted to know what people were doing with my name! So, I set up a Google alert. I get an alert whenever there’s activity with my name attached to it. If I’m mentioned anywhere on the web, I […] Read more…

Dear Stranger…
Dear Random Stranger, Back away from my child! Right now! I’m not sure why you think it’s appropriate to touch him. I am also not sure why you think it’s not appropriate for him to tell you “no”. He’s a person and he doesn’t know you. Why would he let a stranger touch him? Do […] Read more…
Almost Toddlers & Tiaras
*This was written as part of Mama Kat’s writer’s workshop. Have you ever been jilted or just plain mistreated? Yeah, I know, we’ve all been there.

Love & Fashion
In the last few years I’ve been watching what Tory Burch has to offer. Everyone in the office seemed to be addicted to her popular flats for awhile. My conclusion: me likey the Tory Burch brand.

Harmony Valley Foods Review
When I saw the opportunity to review Harmony Valley Vegetarian Mixes I thought, perfect timing. My son is not a big fan of meat at all and we’re always struggling to find a protein substitute he’ll eat. One can only serve so much peanut butter, beans and cheese. We also toy with the idea of […] Read more…
Don’t Kiss That Baby!!!
To kiss or not to kiss? That’s the question I have for you. I was browsing a few mommy sites not too long ago and came across a topic that stuck with me. The post was by the mom of a little girl. She posed the question of kissing your child on the lips. Is […] Read more…
