Leanne by Tyler, editor and reviewer Like everyone under the age of 20, my daughter loves the KIA Soul. The dancing hamsters, the toasters, the “you can go with this or you can go with that” commercials, and most of all, the car itself. Have no idea what I’m talking about? This YouTube video should help … Read more
Oh, Mother’s Day, how I love you. Not because I get presents {although I do love the things the kiddos pick out for me each year}, but because the stores I love have discounts for stuff I adore. For instance, Seattle's own Blue Nile jewelry. Or rather, Blue Nile jewelry for 10% off using the … Read more

Her dolls each have personalities of their own, which she will likely tell you all about should you ever ask. According to her, some of … Read more
Up until just a few months ago, our kids were a parent’s dream at night. We would literally pop them in their beds after their bedtime routine and not hear from either one again until I would have to wake them up in the morning. Yes, true story. But, while my son is still firmly … Read more

The huge Lincoln fan in me has been eagerly awaiting the DVD and Blu-ray release so I could see the movie again {and again, and again}, so I was thrilled when LINCOLN hit shelves last month. As one of my favorite … Read more
I’ve had a bit of a love affair with RedEnvelope since my teens and I now have numerous pieces I’ve gotten as gifts or bought for myself from them throughout my home. Many pieces of jewelry are from them, and they are nicely stored in a wooden RedEnvelope box. My wedding photos are in shadow … Read more
You know when you get something that just clicks so well that you wonder how you ever did without? That was the exact way I felt when the Joovy Caboose Too Ultralight arrived for review.
