I can remember when I was a kid going with my parents while they got new glasses for themselves and what a long boring process it was. Thankfully to this point in my life I haven’t needed glasses but my day may come. To me the process of getting new glasses seems like such a pain and something I am not looking forward to. What I like now is you no longer need to drag yourself to the store anymore to buy glasses but can now go online to places like glasses.com. I am sure most people tend to go … [Read more...]
Keeping Babies Snug and Dry with Huggies Giveaway
September 5, 2011 by
You might think we are out of the diaper changing stage BUT I take care of my niece Madi each day and my other niece Ella once in a while. In fact Ella was here the other night meeting @OurDogSam and hanging out while her parents were doing something. Ella is almost 2 and like most toddlers very active. Using diapers that fit and move against twisting and turning bellies and legs is a must. I recently gave Ella (my sister-in-law) the opportunity to try out the new Huggies Snug and Dry diaper … [Read more...]
Mamas & Papas hits the USA
March 16, 2011 by
I started this blog as a way to share cool things for kids and families. The quintessential baby item has come up for review; the stroller. Not just any stroller though; the Mamas & Papas Sola Pushchair from Britain's #1 luxury stroller brand. I received this stroller smack in the middle of winter, a very snowy and cold winter. Only until a couple weeks back did I get a chance to really test it out in the streets. It plowed over curbs and cracks with little effort partly due to its … [Read more...]

Scooby-Doo, Where Are You? Over Here!!!!
November 7, 2010 by
I know I have written or have at least mentioned before about how much my kids LOVE Scooby Doo but in case you missed it I will tell you again. I’m talking borderline obsessive. For instance Shae loves Scooby Doo so much she dressed up as Velma for Halloween this year. Before I met Melinda I had a ton of Scooby Doo stuff in my apartment like a cookie jar, shower curtain, trash can, etc. Believe it or not Melinda still married me even after see all of that stuff, LOL. Ok, back to my … [Read more...]

The New Filtrete Water Station from 3M allows us to enjoy high quality H2O at home and on the go.

Our family is into conservation and recycling but anything we can do to reduce waste is a HUGE plus. With this water station … [Read more...]
Have You Ever Had Pastelillos?
August 2, 2010 by
Here is my question for you, have you ever had a Pastelillos? Pastelillos is a Spanish beef patty which is a very famous pastry among Puerto Ricans and Dominicans. If not you need to figure out how to get your hands on these little gems of goodness because they are AWESOME. I have been married to Melinda who is Puerto Rican for 9 years and this is the first time I have had these. Can you believe that? I can’t believe it has taken me so long to have these.

MUK LUKS shoes not just for Eskimos
March 10, 2010 by
A muk luk is a soft boot made of reindeer skin or seal skin worn by Eskimos. That’s the traditional meaning anyway, my MUK LUKS are cuter. I was sent a pair of Horizontal Rib lace back boots for review and love the look and feel of them.I’m not the type to tuck my jeans into my boots but it’s almost necessary with these so you can show off the fun lace-up detail in the back. My boots are also lined with Sherpa, that along with the front sweater section these are uber comfy and warm. The … [Read more...]
