The Unconference, Sassafraz and Enza the Supermodel

by

I haven't really slept in a week.  I just had to get that off my chest. Don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining but I am seriously tired. From the Baby and Toddler Show to Breakfast Television to The Holiday Product Testing Party there just hasn't been time. Then, there was Thursday. It was … [Read more...]

Most of the mountain was mass-market baby gear, much of it touted as a “must-have”. In reality, we … [Read more...]

Saving Boxes

by

I am actively hoarding cardboard boxes at present. And piles and piles of the little tissue wrappers from mandarin oranges. Why? Well, it's time to start getting the holiday care packages together, bien sûr. I have VOWED that this year I will be making and sending packages to the far-flung members … [Read more...]

Food! Glorious Food!

by

I was out scrappin' all day Saturday (hence why I didn't post Saturday, 'cause I didn't weigh in Saturday, 'cause I was scrappin'...). And by scrappin' I don't mean this: Nooooo. I mean scrapBOOKING. You know, the crazy suburbanite craft? Yeah...that's the ticket! Well, there I was scrapbooking … [Read more...]
