Nothing says classic and chic to me like a plaid Burberry Trench Coat. Unfortunately, even their "cheapie" packaway trench is waaaay out of my price range.

Russ Seapals Giveaway


My kids are suckers for plush sea creatures. So far, we've got a clownfish, seal, orca, walrus, and 3 sea stars. From time to time, I try to stem the tidal wave of plushies that make their way to our house, (by donating some to charity when they aren't looking). However, 3Po, Jammy and Pea love playing with stuffed toys so much that when a good quality...

Walter the Farting Dog


As if I don't have enough to do, I'm toying with the idea of joining NaBloPoMo (posting every day in November) for this blog as well as for Finding Bonggamom. After all, it's not as if there aren't tons of kids' and moms' products out there to talk about. Why, the contents of last weekend's LeapFrog Party goody bag alone could keep me going for several...

Tis the Season to Win Prizes!


After all the Halloween Hoopla, it's tempting to indulge in the post-holiday blues (namely, gobbling up all the candy because I tell myself there's nothing to do). In order to slap that out of me, I have to find something to keep my mind occupied and my spirits lifted. So I'm participating in NaBloPoMo (via my personal blog, Finding Bonggamom).And what about on this blog? Well, November is my blogaversary month (I started Finding Bonggamom 2 years ago on November 20), so I've decided to celebrate...
