Keeping Organized with an iPad Mini #giveaway
March 12, 2013 by
Being a busy family of 5 means lots to do each day. With school, work, the blog, sports, shopping and home responsibilities that doesn’t leave much time left for quality time together. Dinner time is the 1 45-minute chunk of the night that we come together and connect, talk and joke.
Planning meal times is sometimes a struggle so I lean towards cookbooks, magazines, pinterest and recipe apps. Having meal ideas on the go is very important because I can be at the store, see a great deal on an unfamiliar cut of meat and instantly have a handful of recipes at my fingertips.
Some of my favorite Android apps for meal ideas and planning.
Epicurious- Free Android, IOS and Windows Phone
- Easily access ingredient lists
- Get the “Recipe of the Day” on your homescreen
- Step by Step stove side instructions
- More than 30,000 recipes to choose from
Food On The Table– Free Android & IOS

- Find budget meals
- See a printable grocery list right on your mobile
- Design customized weekly menus
- Get reminders to create your weekly meal plan
All Recipes Dinner Spinner- Free Android, IOS and Windows Phone
- Browse more than 40,000 recipe
- Search by single ingredients
- Bookmark your favorite recipes
- Scan items and search for recipes that use them
These are the apps that I use to maintain my own household just for meal time. Now I need a schedule setter to help with chores, appointments and keeping track of the kids classmates names.
I want to help keep you and your family organized and running smoothly everyday no matter the obstacles you face. Enter to win an iPad mini 16GB WiFi just by letting me know apps or websites you use each day.

Shopping @Gymboree Again plus #Giveaway
March 5, 2013 by
This spring I was given the so hard and arduous task of shopping Gymboree 🙂 I have to honestly say that I haven’t stepped foot in a Gymboree store since Sabreena was a baby. The store is in the same spot in our mall as it’s always been for the last 18 years but there is something that doesn’t steer me through the doors. I said yes because I know Gymboree is very popular but wanted to know why it wasn’t catching my attention.
I started looking online and found prices that ranged from “high” to “expected” for name brands. Their sale section was really good, like stocking up prices. There was a variety of colors and sizes and designs but I wasn’t looking for winter clothes at this time so off to the mall I went.
Rob and I spent a good time looking at all of their collections and settled on Blooming Nautical and Tea Time Afternoon as our favorites because of the bold colors and cute designs. We walked out with 2 complete outfits, 1 basic tee and 2 leggings. I was excited to show Shae her new duds.
She loved Corsage Poppy tee. I was excited because it’s something I saw online and fell in love with. I did notice after it came out of the wash the blue was faded but I’m not sure if it was always like that. I wish it was a more vibrant saturated hue like the brink pink poppy flower in the girl’s hair. The skirt maintained the bright pink that I was originally drawn to. The pastels of the Tea Time Afternoon separates didn’t loose any color after washing. The material maintained it’s structure and shape, something that doesn’t always happen with kid’s clothes.
Corsage Poppy Tee
I think I had an image of Gymboree in my head of having very preppy stiff designs; clothing with no character. I was wrong, dead wrong. I also need to realize that Shae can give life to a burlap sack. Will I go back to Gymboree? Probably. I do like the more trendy vibrant collections so will definitely keep my eyes open for key items that Shae can rock with style.
Do you want to check out Gymboree for yourself and win a $75 GC? Tell me what pieces you’d like to shop for.
