If you know me, you know how much I adore cleaning gadgets. Even a good scrub brush makes me happy, but if the product actually saves me time and energy, I’m ecstatic. Such is the case with the Shark Duo Carpet and Hard Floor Cleaner that I was sent after meeting the Shark team at the MomTrends Shark party during BlogHer.
Isn't this gorgeous? The view isn't half bad, either.
As someone who doesn’t go to fancy salons, I’m always a little behind on hair trends. In fact, I don’t think I even owned a flat iron until 2008 when I got a top-of-the-line model at the time. Even though that doesn’t seem like that long ago, it really feels like flat irons have come … Read more
I adore my kids, and I love *most* of their toys. I just hate when their toys are all over my house. While toy boxes are one solution, I find that their favorite toys tend to get buried in a big box and then they dump out the entire contents to get that one beloved … Read more
by Tyler, editor and reviewer Last week I was spoiled by STI – The Drive Experience Company. While I am currently driving the newest car I have ever owned {a spry 18 years old} I really don’t spend a lot of time in newer cars. But, this last week I was lucky enough to drive … Read more
Fun fact: just like blowing bubbles or skipping through a park, I firmly believe it is impossible to jump and bounce on a trampoline without smiling. While I don’t have any scientific proof this is true, I remain 100% convinced this is a fact and could show you hundreds of pictures of us bouncing on our JumpSport Trampoline over the last few weeks as “evidence”. Just the thought of someone frowning and grumpy on a trampoline makes me laugh.
As for me, I think I have a genetic disposition that causes me to giggle uncontrollably as soon as I set foot on our JumpSport trampoline. I say this is genetic, because every single person with a blood relation to me has the same trait, including my siblings, cousins, and my two adorable kiddos. Maybe this is why they beg to bounce daily and why we’ve spent most of our summer thus far on our trampoline.
Do you remember when video cameras came in a suitcase? Not much smaller than the film cameras used in Hollywood, video cameras of the 80s required a strong shoulder to keep them steady and they were anything but portable. I always felt really sorry for the poor parent holding the video camera, not just for … Read more
Get Out and PLAY Event – Day 21 If you’ve been in Washington over the past two months, it’s likely that you saw us crisscrossing the state with our newest ride. No, not a car, a stroller: specifically, the new Britax B-Ready stroller. In an effort to save money, use less gas, and get some … Read more
Get Out and PLAY Event – Day 13 The act of fishing may date back centuries, but although there have been new inventions and tools along the way, there's just not a whole lot of innovation. Very rarely does something come along that really embraces modern technology in the world of fishing, so I was … Read more
My husband and I took stroller shopping for our first baby very seriously. The ultimate goal was to find one that was easy to use, comfortable for extended distances, and was able to grow with us – all without completely obliterating our buggy budget. We had a list of requirements that our stroller had to … Read more
When we first found out we were going to be parents, hubby and I absolutely agreed that a stroller was where we would spend most of our baby budget. There were a couple of good reasons behind the decision, but our first thought was that the stroller really was for us as a family, and … Read more
