With another round of glowing blogger reviews of the Kaboom products they tried out, I’m now convinced that I need to add the NeverScrub! Continuous Toilet Cleaning System to my arsenal of cleaning products (which already includes the Shower, Tub and Tile Spray).
The bloggers definitely agree that the Shower, Tub and Tile Spray is a fantastic [...]

With so many dollars spent on so many useless baby books that we only refer to if some weird yellow snot comes runny out of our babies nose, it’s about time a pregnancy book came along that offered a bit more useful information — about the baby, about the mom, and about the transition into [...]

We’ve all done it: Typed our symptoms into Google only to be confronted by a dizzying array of hits, most of which only succeeded in confusing us further. The Internet can be a great resource, but it’s not exactly the most efficient (or scientifically valid) means of gathering information, particularly when it comes to health [...]

Whether you’re a fan of Noah or not (how can you not be with Steve Carrell playing him in Evan Almighty?), I’m pretty sure all kids are a fan of animals at one time or another. And of course, if you have a child like my daughter, it’s obscure animals that are terribly difficult to [...]

For some people, the experience of becoming a parent draws them closer to their own parents (and - dare I say it - to their in-laws as well). But for others, those parent-child bonds are strained, severed, or don’t even survive to the point of sharing the joy of grandchildren.

As I sat for a full day in the Philadelphia Airport, a few things crossed my mind. And one of them was, “Oh man, I hope I don’t get sick.” The same thing happened when my husband, an airline pilot, came home to a house full of sickies. I quickly handed him my pack of [...]

When I found out I was pregnant with my daughter, the first thing I did was drop way too much cash on baby books. Clearly, my money would have been way better spent on some Lansinoh and some pants suspenders — and not because I already knew all the information the books offered to me, [...]

I admit it; I’m hooked. These reviews have convinced me that I really need to give garage saling a try. But I think I’d better pick up a copy of Bruce Littlefield’s book before I head out. Because as one blogger put it: “If you dread the garage sale world like I have, I recommend [...]
