Music, Magic, and Fun with Bedknobs & Broomsticks: Enchanted Musical Edition

I remember the very first time I saw Bedknobs & Broomsticks. I was home, sick with the chickenpox, and my grandma let me have a picnic lunch in the living room while I watched three children, an apprentice witch, and a conman travel to magical lands on a bed! I had never been so excited…

Circle Of Sentiments Giveaway

I’ve never been much of a jewelry wearer. There’s my wedding ring that I wear every day, of course. But other than that, I’ve only really owned maybe three necklaces and one bracelet.

Nature’s Baby Organics – now debuting at Target!

Did you know that our skin is our largest organ? And, although our skin helps to protect our bodies, it is also semi-permeable? That simply means that our skin allows some materials and chemicals to be absorbed into our body. And the skin of infants and children is actually more permeable than that of adults!!!…

No more slipping straps!

A barrette for your bra? Sure, I use barrettes for my hair but why would I need a barrette for my bra??? Then I started thinking a little more about my my bra…and my tank tops….and my swimsuit! Of course I need a Bra Barrette! Like a barrette for your hair, the Bra Barrette is…

Hattie Rose Designs – where bibs become fashionable!

When both of my daughters were about 3 months old they started drooling like crazy. It seems like we had a solid 9 months of teething and that meant a solid 9 months of drooling! In an effort to keep their clothes from being drenched with drool I would typically keep a bib on them…
