It’s funny – when I first had domesticity thrust upon me roughly 8 years ago I did everything in my power to avoid cooking. I automatically assumed I wouldn’t be able to handle it or do it as well as everyone else, so I just decided that I didn’t like it. I did however, take […]

This year Walmart graciously gave us $100 to purchase toys to donate to the charity of our choice. As is our tradition, we brought them to Toys for Tots. (more…)

In my work with Walmart I’ve been fortunate to have the opportunity to travel to the hub of all of the action on more than one occasion (remember my trip to Walmart’s Shareholders meeting?) in Bentonville, Arkansas. However, I was especially looking forward to my last trip there because it was the highly-anticipated Holiday trip […]

It is no secret that I love (love, love, love) beauty products. Not only am I determined to stay 29 with ‘x number of years experience’ for the rest of my life (therefore needing lots of anti-aging products, and most likely a miracle) but it’s just a fun hobby for me. A trip to Sephora […]

I grew up shopping in Walgreens stores. Our prescriptions were always filled there (I’m a huge fan of drive-through pharmacies) and being an avid photographer I use the photo department pretty heavily. When I lived in Louisiana I literally had a Walgreens right down the street – and now that I live in California […]

Naturally each year our kids make Christmas Lists. This year some of their highlights include a blue Furby (“Mommy, I hope that when you went shopping on BROWN FRIDAY you remembered to get me a blue furby.”) and Skylander’s Giants. And every year I write about the things the kids want. Which is fine and […]

A few weeks ago I gathered with fellow fashion, style, and beauty writers to celebrate Salma Hayek’s line Nuance at CVS at Bungalow 3 at the Chateau Marmont. Naturally as a writer and mother of a 5 and 6 year old I can either be found behind a computer, driving carpool, doing homework, or refereeing […]

Every year, one of the things that I look forward to most is finding the perfect Christmas outfit for our kids. Since even before Audrey Grace could walk I have been searching for the perfect holiday dress for her – and this year is no different. Since we frequently shop at The Children’s Place it’s […]

Every year it feels like the holiday season sneaks up on us. If you’re anything like me you’re probably busy planning your Black Friday plans of attack, or stashing away Easy Bake Ovens in the attic in preparation for Santa’s arrival on December 25th. (more…)

You may recall that we lost our family dog, Lilly, at 14 years of age last September. Lilly had diabetes and for the second half of her life received insulin shots from us twice daily, ate a super-special diet, and was just generally loved and pampered by us. In the last year of her life […]

I take a ton of photos – I took over 1,000 in the first 4 days of little AG’s life alone. That was 5 and a half years ago, so as you can imagine, we are always looking for creative ways to use and display those photos in our home – it can become a […]

I’m kind of obsessed with Oreos. And the Holidays. So when Walmart came to me with the opportunity to sample a brand new Oreo cookie flavor that was being released just for the holidays, you can be sure the request was met with a resounding “yes”! A few days later I was opening my […]

I’ve been blessed in so many ways in my life, but one of the standouts is that I’ve had the incredible opportunity to travel throughout my life. My parents gave me the travel bug back in 1986 when they bought an RV and we subsequently spent every summer driving around the country in it. However, […]

I’m sure if you search this site you’ll find 80 billion mentions of Tigger because he is my daughter’s favorite and he gets mentioned all of the time around these parts. So of course this year when I asked Audrey Grace what kind of pumpkin she wanted to carve for Halloween the response came quickly […]
