In one of my “SWAG” bags from IzeaFest I received a sample of Boogie Wipes! Boogie Wipes are like wet wipes but are made with saline which dissolves the snots that love to stick to kids’ noses. Well – let me say that I tried them MYSELF during my flight home from the conference!
For some reason my allergies began acting up while my plane was landing in Atlanta. Of course I didn’t have any tissues – but I remember I had one solitary Boogie Wipe stuffed into my bag! …

Companies that don’t put all their proverbial ‘eggs in one basket’ are often quite successful in their business. Take a little company called Nu Skin Enterprises for example. Nu Skin Enterprises is a leading direct-selling company that distributes premium quality products and services through three core brands — Nu Skin, Pharmanex, and Big Planet.
The Nu Skin management team has around 25 years of ideas and innovation that has turned the company into a billion-dollar industry. This is an industry that is selling – and industry that even the ‘little guy’ …

As a graphic designer, I can appreciate a beautifully made digital photo card. Since I have a huge case of the “baby rabies” (i.e. Baby FEVER) I can especially appreciate super gorgeous digital photo birth announcements like the ones found at CardsDirect.
The type of photo cards I love are simple … think black and white photo’s with a scrapbook feel to them. CardsDirect has some beautiful examples of “simple” cards, but also cards for any other “taste” – super girly, artsy, floral, etc.
I really liked the “Girl Monogram” birth announcement …

I picked up a toy kitchen at a yard sale for about $30 a couple years ago. It’s tan and white (so it’s unisex) and pretty big – and my son loves it. He likes to “cook Mama breakfast” on the weekends and likes to dress up in his little chef outfit while he “cooks.” We got a small bag of “play food” when I bought the kitchen but some of it’s gone missing. So, I’m definitely in the market for some new food!
I did a search on Amazon …

I’ve been wondering lately what to get my husband for Father’s Day this year. He and Xander do so much for me on Mother’s Day that I can’t really compete. I’m not entirely sure whether he will actually BE here on Father’s Day – so I have to plan accordingly.
He likes camping gear – so things like books on hiking, a nice North Face jacket and course willingness to go along with him are always welcome. He also likes good meals – so I could always just cook him something …

I love summer! Summer brings warm (hot!) weather, waterparks, beaches, and just hanging out on the porch with friends drinking and talking. I always end up getting eaten alive by freaking mosquitoes though! What is it!? Do I have sweet blood or something? I swear!
So, I’m trying to find things I can put around my porch that will keep those stupid ‘skeeters’ away from me! Citronella candles smell awful and don’t really work for me. I hate bug spray smell but will obviously use it when I remember. But …
