Baby Einstein is 10!

There could have never been a more perfect “product review” for me and my family than when Mom Central asked for people to check out the 10th Anniversary Special Edition DVD of Baby Mozart, as well as touch & feel Baby Einstein Touch & Feel Board Book ANDDDD Baby Einstein Classics  Lullaby cd.  My family LOVES the Baby Einstein.  We covet the  Baby Einstein.  I only wish I knew about it 10 years ago! We only really became true Baby Einstein fans last year afte...

Seat Snug – a review

My baby girl (who is 5-1/2 years old and weighs all of 32 lbs.) just recently moved to a booster seat in the car, from a regular strapped in car seat.  The problem we’re finding with booster seats, particularly with our minivan, is that there’s nothing to keep it secured in the vehicle.  So the child in is top heavy, and therefore, gets tossed around when you’re going around corners or, heaven forbid, in an accident.  Personally, the person who created minivan seats to be lik...

Tokbox – A review

I never gave video chat a 2nd thought before I moved away from my family and had kids.  But once they came along, it was important to me that my family see my kids, not just in the occasional photo, but really see them – even when they’re not at their best, so we invested in a video camera a long time ago. The problem came when it was so choppy and lagged, thereby making it nearly impossible to hold a conversation.  The cam has sat there, collecting dust, for quite some time. Then...

Time to shop!

One of the reasons why I do not shop online very often is because of the shipping & handling fees.  I don’t mind paying reasonable fees, but when they’re based on a percentage of what you buy, rather than what it’s actually going to cost them, that bugs me.  It bugs me enough that I won’t buy from those sites. So when MomCentral asked me to take a look at shop.com, the very first thing I clicked on was their link for Free Shipping!   They have HUNDREDS of shops that offe...

A party for your mouth!

Seriously, that’s what these new Chex Mix® Bars are like.  A big party!  Caramel-covered Corn Chex® pieces, Wheat Chex® pieces, chocolate, peanuts and pretzels.  All in one bite!  I (virtually) had to beat my family off with a stick in order to get any of them to actually try for myself. lol   They even have 4g of fiber and 8 grams of whole grain per serving, so they’re even good for you.  With only 150 calories, they taste a lot more decadent than just 150 calories. It really is just pure deca...

Hello, my name is Dawn and…

I’m a chocoholic. There, I’ve said it.  Fortunately, I’m not alone with my addiction. I’ll bet at least a few of you reading this are chocoholics too.  Yeah, I see you nodding your heads.  It’s good to be in good company.  But, something else I have to admit to is I’m a chocolate snob. That’s right – a chocolate SNOB.  I don’t like cheap chocolate.  There’s very few kinds of chocolate that I actually enjoy.  With my first taste of GOOD chocolate, I realized how much I’d been missing! So, wi...
