While I was at BlogHer, I was introduced to Zhu Zhu Pets. Zhu Zhu Pets are little pet battery operated hamsters, that seem to be quite popular this season.

****CLOSED****Congrats Bethany! To complete Adam's kitchen themed Christmas, I have been on the hunt for play food. No kitchen is complete without food! Because I am so indecisive when it comes to... everything... I really researched which play food sets we would get Adam for Christmas. I read a ton of reviews, asked around on twitter, looked at different brands and finally found, what I think, … [Read more...]
I was looking on yahoo and came across this article about gifts not to buy this year. I will admit, I am guilty of three of the six.1. Flowers. Makes sense. People don't have time to enjoy flowers if they are traveling or running around like a chicken with their head cut off (tis the season!). I have never given flowers as a holiday gift, simply because they don't last. I'd go with a plant … [Read more...]

****CLOSED****Congrats Laura1877! The hardest person to shop for on my holiday list is always Dh. He would like anything I got him but I am also looking for something he would actually use.

One of the most intimidating things when first starting to cloth diaper, for us at least, is the start up costs. If I was to buy a full set, 24 diapers, of my favorite brand, it would cost us almost $500. Now, I don't know about you, but we certainly don't have $500 laying around to spend on diapers. I have heard of cheaper, "off brand" diapers but I always questioned whether or not they really … [Read more...]
