Beauty and the Beast 3D Hits Theaters Tomorrow

I always say that you can tell how old someone is by asking them what their favorite Disney Movies were as a child.  If they say Snow White, Cinderella, or Sleeping Beauty – you know you’re dealing with someone a bit older.  But if they say Aladdin, The Lion King, The Little Mermaid, or, my personal favorite Beauty and the Beast, then... [Read more of this review]

I Need More Coolsculpting! (A Review/Giveaway)

If you’re a frequent reader of my blog you know that last year I tried the Coolsculpting® treatment for the first time.  Even though the procedure is totally safe and non-invasive, I was terrified (I’m a big baby).  I was in a room, with not too much on in the way of clothing (do paper bras and panties count?) and this giant machine... [Read more of this review]

Thank You Reese Witherspoon

I just came across these photos of Reese Witherspoon in Hawaii last week vacationing with her family, and I was inspired to write this simple post just to say thank you, Reese! Thank you for being a normal size yet being successful. Thank you for being confident in your own skin. Thank you for setting a good example for women and little girls everywhere... [Read more of this review]

Picplum: The Perfect Gift For The Holidays {A Giveaway}

  I remember the day that I discovered picplum very clearly.  It was August 19th, and I was flying back to Louisiana for my 29th birthday after having spent 3 weeks in Southern California with my fiance’ and his son.  It was actually the last time I would ever fly “home” to Louisiana and I knew that it would be – because... [Read more of this review]

Holiday Gift Guide: Littlest Pet Shop Magic Motion Treehouse

Audrey Grace loves Littlest Pet Shop, so we were so excited that Hasboro sent us the Littlest Pet Shop Magic Motion Treehouse Playset for review this Christmas.  If you’re looking for a gift for the little girl in your life (I’d say ages 4-8) this is it!  It’s the perfect price point (under $40 on Amazon) and will definitely provide... [Read more of this review]

Holiday Gift Guide: Glowberry Bears {A Giveaway}

A few years ago when we visited Walt Disney World Audrey came home with one of those Minnie Mouse figures that when the button is pressed, her skirt spins around and she lights up.  At the time I thought it was a novelty, but it has turned into a “thing” – being that she can’t sleep without some light that she can control, in... [Read more of this review]

Holiday Cards at Tiny Prints

Even though I have all year to prepare, the time to order our Holiday Cards always sneaks up on me.   I don’t know how it happens, but right around December 5th I start panicking when I realize my time is limited to order, address, and send my cards in time. I’m here to tell you that your time is limited, too.  It’s time for us to... [Read more of this review]

Jake and the Neverland Pirates – Holiday Episode Airs TOMORROW!

We love Disney in this house, not that you ever doubted that considering that we are all season passholders! It’s funny though, because when My Friends Tigger and Pooh went off the air, my daughter was crushed.  CRUSHED.  She has loved Tigger since she was 6 months old, so to lose her pals on Disney Junior – well it didn’t go over... [Read more of this review]

Holiday Gift Guide: Rockboard Scooter

Remember a few years ago when scooters were all the rage?  (and yes, I totally just said all the rage.) Well, this year kick scooters are back with a vengeance, but this year they look a little different – or at least the Rockboard Scooter does!  The difference between this cool scooter and the scooters of Christmases past lies in it’s... [Read more of this review]

Holiday 2011: Fresh Wreaths From Lynch Creek Farm {Giveaway CLOSED}

I am in love with Christmas.  I’m the total opposite of a the Grinch.  The Grinch hates everything about Christmas, and I love everything about it. So, considering that this is the first Christmas my fiance’, myself, and our two children will all be together as a family – I really, really wanted it to be special and feel completely... [Read more of this review]

Hanes 3rd Annual Sock Drive – How You Can Help!

There are more families than we might realize that are living in shelters across the state and country who need a helping hand.   While we often picture homelessness as something affecting adults, there are staggering numbers of children counted among the homeless.  According to the National Center on Family Homlessness (the NCFH) 1 in 50 children,... [Read more of this review]
