Long before Wild Friends Nut Butters debuted on Shark Tank, I was a fan of their nut butters. Especially this one. Wild Friends began as Wild Squirrel, a simple peanut butter experiment between two college friends in Oregon that has boomed into a wonderful business. They’ve got talent, a delicious product and a business model that …

It’s time to read to your kids! I studied Literature in college, so naturally I could not wait to introduce my son to my favorite books. Unfortunately, he’s a little too young for Tolkien, James Joyce, Jack Kerouac, or John Updike. That’s okay, we’ll get there! Until then, I put together a list of children’s …

Today’s holiday toy highlight is the Fisher-Price Power Wheels Ford F-150 battery-powered ride-on. This rough and rugged ride-on is fun to drive and the kids love it.

Today I thought it would be fun to introduce you all to some gift ideas for those crunchy moms. The ones who read ingredient labels …

Dads are so hard to buy for. They either don’t tell us what they want with the classic response, “I’d rather you not spend MY money on ME,” or we just have no clue where to begin when it comes to shopping for them. So, here are 8 out of the box Christmas gift ideas …

While people say that having kids keeps you forever young, they don’t tell you that they can also make you look really old too by giving you lovely things like a squishy belly and grey hair. Today, I’m not even touching the belly thing (I’m still mad about it!) – I’m just talking about the …

First of all, I have to say, I love this thing.  It’s cute, it’s functional, and there’s surely a color to match any nursery décor.  In the looks department, the Ubbi beats out any diaper pail I’ve ever seen.  So when we ordered ours, I was really hoping it was going to deliver in the practical …
