Taking Things for Granted–The Food Allergy Club
Earlier this week I sat at a table with 8 Kindergarteners and their respective mothers/grandmothers. It might have been a mother/child brunch. It could have been some kind of cool club.

K’NEX Brand Waxes Nostalgic with KISS and Yellow Submarine Figures
I didn’t grow up with K’NEX; the brand launched when I was in my 20′s. But for some reason, it feels like a toy I played with growing up. In fact, I think K’NEX appeals to adults, as well as kids, due to the ability to build large, complex motorized sets, such as roller coasters,…

Happy Mother’s Day from The Meat House (Giveaway!)
When I was first introduced to The Meat House, I envisioned a butcher shop where I’d pick out choice cuts of meat under the guidance of an expert butcher. That’s not quite how things went down. I was greeted with some of the highlighted items of the day, including samples. In case you can’t tell,…
We’re Going to Disney World for Disney Social Media Moms
We’re off to the Disney Social Media Moms Celebration and I am so incredibly excited. I had the pleasure of attending the first Celebration in 2010, but wasn’t able to bring the family. This year, we’re all going and I know the kids are going to have a fantastic time. Disney knows how to throw…
Foodler Online Restaurant Delivery Service Review
When I move to a new home, I’m a bit obsessive about finding places nearby that deliver or have unique food options. We’ve been living here almost 8 years and I’m still on the hunt for great takeout. Foodler is one way to not only discover places in your area, but to place orders online….
