Congrats Katie! You are the winner of The Help giveaway! Earlier this week I had the opportunity to attend an early viewing of The Help, one of the most anticipated releases of the Summer. And… It.

Congrats Staci Wykes! You’re the winner of the Cars 2 prize pack! I can’t believe that almost exactly five years ago we were sitting in a theater in Alaska watching Cars with our (then) 6 month old Abbi!

It’s Thursday. We are leaving for our weekend camping trip and I have a ton to get done. And, of course, my kids want to be big helpers, which translates into them following me around asking, “Mom, are you ready yet? Can we go yet? When can we go? How long will it take to [...]

One of my favorite gifts to give are DVDs! Honestly, it’s because they are so darn easy!!! There are so many great dvds being released each and every day and you can usually find a dvd for just about anybody on your shopping list! First, you can give just a straight up dvd or dvd [...]
