Stokke Tripp Trapp High Chair – Review

Tripp Trapp High Chair

When it comes to infant products, I try to invest my money wisely.  I look for quality products that will last.  I research everything before I buy and always try to find the best value.  Two things I'm not willing to sacrifice quality on are car seats and high chairs.  I'm brand loyal when it comes to both of these products.  Our high chair of choice is the Stokke Tripp Trapp. We bought our first one when Bryson was a baby and started using it when he was right around one year old.  I … [Read more...]

Seventh Generation Brings Natural Scents to the Kitchen #Giveaway

Seventh Generation Logo

In our first home, we didn't have a dishwasher.  Let's be clear: I hated washing dishes by hand.  So much so that I made a deal with Justin- if he would clean the dishes up after meals, he'd never have to touch the laundry.  For the most part, we kept that going until we sold that place.  When we found our current home, I was so excited to see a dishwasher.  And a laundry room.  Our first home didn't have a dedicated laundry room either- just a washer and dryer in a little nook in the … [Read more...]

Need a Gift for the Guys? Enter the Sportula.

Sportula

Buying gifts for men can be difficult.  The men in my life buy whatever they want, so there is never anything they actually need.  I like to find fun and useful gifts for my leading men. Enter The Sportula. It's not a spatula.  Well, really it is a spatula, only way cooler.  My husband and my dad have a running rivalry when it comes to being the grill-master.  They bicker and argue over who cooks the best steak, how long a steak should be cooked, how hot the grill should be, … [Read more...]

You are never too old for Hello Kitty.

I’ve loved Hello Kitty for as long as I can remember.  My mom would take me school shopping and I would pick out Hello Kitty pencils, backpacks, and clothing.  If it was made in a Hello Kitty design, I probably owned it.  My dad always said he thought I’d grow out of it.  Well, my dad isn’t wrong too often (hi, Dad!) but he was wrong about this.  I’m grown with a daughter of my own and I still adore all things Hello Kitty. When I saw the new line of products at Sparkle Bee from … [Read more...]

>BEKA Bain Marie Review (Chocolate!)

>Since giving up the microwave (something I’ve been meaning to post about) I’ve only melted chocolate once.  And it was a big flop.  I burned the chocolate and gave up on my dipped bananas in frustration.  I’ve worked with BEKA on a couple reviews before and I can honestly say that I LOVE their cookware.  I use both my Eco-Logic Pan and my Pancake Pan regularly.  Because I’ve had such success with their cookware lines, I jumped at the chance to try their Bain … [Read more...]

Play, Learn, & Snack with Dry Erase Placemats

I know that I’ve said it almost every post lately, but I’m going to say it again.  There is just something about age 2.  I never, ever thought I would love toddlerhood like this.  Watching Bryson take in the world around him, watching him explore, answering his questions, seeing his little mind ticking away with ideas- he amazes me everyday.  We’ve started a little bit of learning lately.  Bryson thinks we are simply playing or coloring, of course, and that’s just the way I want … [Read more...]
