Earlier this weekend I wrote about my love for the Wish Book and how I wished someone would create a Wish Book for grown-ups. All the fashion, tech, gadgets, and gizmos you can imagine. But, alas, I just can’t seem to find one. So, until I do find that Wish Book, I’m going to share with you a few items, now until Christmas, that I think would make this year’s book.
One of the hottest items yet again this year is the tablet. And making it’s way to the top of that list seems to be the Motorola Xoom! Read the rest of this entry…
Did you ever page through the Wish Book when you were a kid? Oh that thing was the best thing ever! I remember that my grandma would get the Wish Book a few weeks before Christmas and we would all take turns page through it, ear marking or circling the items we would just love to have!
I think they need to create a *wish book* for grown-ups {keep your minds to the left of the gutter, please}. A book full of the latest fashions, gadgets, tech gear, kitchen goodies, books, music, and more. Can you imagine that book? Read the rest of this entry…
La, la, la, la. La, la, la, la. Elmo’s World!
If you’ve watched an episode of Sesame Street in the last 5 years or so, you totally have that song stuck in your head now! Sorry! But you’re going to thank me when I tell you that those lovable characters from the happiest street are headed to Grand Rapids! Read the rest of this entry…
We’ve spent a number of Halloweens with the Folletts since, well, before they were officially “the Folletts”!
Before we all had kids, we used to spend our Halloweens going to haunted houses together. As a matter of fact, I’m pretty sure the first time Tara & Scott met was when we drug them both to a haunted house with us. Oh goodness, remember that night Tara? Anyhow, now we both have kids so our haunted house days have now turned into crazy chaotic trick-or-treating! Read the rest of this entry…
I was really bummed when I realized that there were really no Halloween cartoons on tv for the kids this year. Somehow we missed It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown! and our only other option in some Shrek show. Sad. I remember there being a lot more shows on tv Halloween weekend/night when I was a kid.
Thankfully we had Biscuit to get us in the Halloween spirit! Read the rest of this entry…
Despite my inactivity here on this site, we’ve actually been doing quite a bit. Unfortunately, with everything else that has been going on with moving and such, that quite a bit didn’t make it on here. So, time to take our life out from the shadows of moving and share it with you.
Somewhere amongst the boxes and chaos… Read the rest of this entry…
This morning I was scanning through Facebook and I came across a post from Good Morning America.
My first thought, Don’t click on it, Stacey! Leave the page. You’re only going to get irritated by the comments. Don’t. Do. It!
But did I listen? Nope. I clicked. I read through numerous comments. And I got irritated. No surprise. Read the rest of this entry…
Last year it was all about the Zhu-Zhu Pets. But, to be honest, I just wasn’t feeling it. It was not a toy that jumped on to my kids’ radar and I was ok with it. But this year, I feel Cepia LLC. might have hit the mark — well, at least they hit my kids’ radar — with the Xia-Xia Pets!
Today the girls and I decided to invite some friends over to check these Xia-Xia Pets out for ourselves.

“I believe humans get a lot done, not because we’re smart, but because we have thumbs so we can make coffee.” ~Flash Rosenberg
As the weather gets colder and the days get shorter here in the MidWest, I’m finding myself reaching more and more for that hot cup of coffee first thing in the morning. There is just something about getting up when the sky is still dark that makes me crave that jolt of caffeine!
And, so, I am very excited to be hosting another Twitter Party around this fabulous nectar! Read the rest of this entry…
When we lived out in the Hamilton house, I was so much more relaxed when it came to the kids and food. More so, I was fine with them eating lunch as a picnic in the living room or spilling once in a while or the baby spitting up on the floor or…or…or. Don’t get me wrong, I cleaned it all up. It was just that the carpeting in the house was this old{ish}, industrial-like berber carpet that could pretty much hide anything. And it did.
Now that we are living in the condo again and the flooring is a little nicer, well, the “food” rules have gotten a little more strict! Read the rest of this entry…
