Product Review : The Cardboard Tree. Yesterday I talked about greener Christmas tree options. One that I talked about was a Cardboard Tree. Last year my husband reviewed The Cardboard Tree’s three foot tree. He let his classroom decorate …

Spotlight on Cirque Du Soleil’s Kooza

Tuesday, October 20th, 2009

Kooza – “circus in a box” Saturday night my husband and I had an opportunity to see Cirque du Soleil’s Kooza .  It “tells the story of The Innocent, a melancholy loner in search of his place in the world.”  This was our fourth Cirque production and it was as spectacular as I imagined it would be.  The pre-show sets the stage for the production as clowns entertain and amuse you.  We, as an audience, are already drawn into the production before it officially begins. What

Cirque Du Soleil KOOZA Is Coming To Los Angeles!

Tuesday, October 13th, 2009

Have I mentioned how much my husband and I like Cirque?  Several years ago they toured in Los Angeles and I saw the show for the first time.  I was hooked.  I vowed I would see as many as I could.  Over the years, we’ve had the privilege of seeing several shows, including my all-time favorite, “O.” (Which by the way is fantastic, particularly since it’s staged in water). On Friday, October 16th, Cirque Du Soleil will return to Santa Monica with it’s production of KOOZA .  I have never seen

Swiffer Is Going Pink for October!

Tuesday, October 13th, 2009

Earlier this year, I reviewed the Swiffer Sweeper (which is a fab little cleaning device that sweeps AND mops).  As you may know, October is Breast Cancer awareness month and for the first time, Swiffer is going Pink and offering limited edition Swiffer Dusters and Sweepers .  Proceeds will benefit the National Breast Cancer Foundation and the funds will be used for education on self-examiniation, mammography, and the importance of an early detection plan.

Sometimes I feel like going green means giving up more of my own “green.”  If you’ve followed my blog, then you know that my journey to becoming eco-conscious has been a slow process.  Every day I learn something new about preserving our environment.  Don’t run away!  I don’t hug trees or stand outside of kennels with signs that save Save the Animals.  But my husband and I do our part, especially when it comes to consumerism. I’m not sure if you’ve read any of my “green” posts, but in the past I

All Things Ribbon Review And Giveaway

Thursday, August 27th, 2009

I was so excited when I found out that we were having a girl because I finally get to “play dress up”! I love shopping for girly items and was ecstatic to get to dress my baby in frills and lace. One day she’ll probably be a tomboy, but for now I get to decide what she wears. I am in awe at how huge the selections of clothes and accessories are for girls compared to boys. All Things Ribbon is a website that is overflowing with handmade hair bows, headbands, girls hair accessories, hai

Use Your Imagination With CitiBlocs Review And Giveaway

Tuesday, August 25th, 2009

One of my favorite things about Evan getting older is being able to witness his imagination. It is amazing how young children can start having these elaborate imaginations and too often they are wasted because they don’t use the right tools to express them. Children are watching more and more television and not utilizing their skills. CitiBlocs is dedicated to help children capture their imaginations. CitiBlocs are a unique wooden construction toy that can be used to build just about

Creating Space For Number 2!

Friday, August 14th, 2009

Last fall my husband and I purchased our very first home.  It was such a huge accomplishment for us.  We felt so grown up!  Now…we definitely have more space than we did in the 1 bedroom apartment we were living in, but somehow our upstairs still feels crowded.  We are trying to maintain a storage guest room, so we’ve decided that our little boy and the baby will share a room once he or she is sleeping well throughout the night.  That means we have to make room in his room! We have toys…e
