My family is a total bunch of dine-out junkies!  Actually, eating out at our local restaurant is one of those little luxuries we all look forward to.  I love to be able to eat yummy food that I didn't have to go grocery shopping for, didn't have to cook and don't have to clean up after.

For a family of three, it's also fairly cost-effective too.  Michael and I rarely eat out without a coupon and we always either share dishes or take plenty home to eat for lunch or dinner the next day.

Since Riley came along though, we've found it harder and harder to find kid-friendly restaurants that are both healthy and economical. That's why I'm glad to have stumbled upon a great database of family restaurants at Out to Eat with Kids.  Keep reading to learn more!

As I'm sure you're aware, Apple has literally changed the game with the release of the iPhone.  This little technological wonder can do almost everything now...even tell you jokes!  :laugh:  It's a device we're quickly finding ourselves depending on more and more, from scheduling our daily agenda, to sending/receiving emails, texts and calls, making lists, providing directions, etc.  The only problem?  Sometimes, it's difficult to hear or be heard while using the iPhone.

Well, necessity is truly the mother of invention, and a Portland inventor named Falco Freeman found the perfect solution to the almost-perfect iPhone.  His invention, the AudioGlove, provides a way to both protect your phone from harm as well as amplify the speaker and microphone.  Keep reading to learn more!

You may not know this about me, but I am a total cereal junkie!  As far back as I can remember, I've enjoyed eating cereals of all kinds, but especially those considered to be more healthy.  Breakfast cereals are a great source of fiber, whole grains and essential vitamins and minerals.  If you choose wisely, you can find a heart healthy variety which also tastes delicious!

I eat at least one bowl of cereal every day and think it makes the perfect late-night fare, early morning breakfast or on-the-go snack.  As much as I love cereal, I've discovered that through the years, I've become quite set in my ways and always seem to reach for the same 4 or 5 options each and every time.  That's why I was quite intrigued when Honey Bunches of Oats wanted me to give their original Honey Roasted flavor a try.  Keep reading to learn more!

This year, I've been chosen to participate in the H-E-B Beauty Bloggers program! Each and every month, I will be bringing you the H-E-B Beauty Pick of the Month with plenty of chances to nab some great prizes too!

If there's one thing I can't stand about my hair, it's how my baby fine blonde locks turn into an instant frizz-fest as soon as I step outside.  The heat and humidity have always wreaked havoc on any hair style I've tried, and all typical hair serums do is weigh it down, making my hair appear flat and greasy.

This month's beauty feature is a sure-fire serum to help keep me frizz-free, even when the Texas weather is at its most humid.  Keep reading to learn more!

My daughter is definitely a combination of two critters: a bookworm and a night owl!  :big grin:  She rarely falls asleep when her head hits the pillow at night and usually likes to read a few of her books instead.  Michael and I have strict rules about Riley's lights being off at night so that she can rest better and eventually doze off, but we do allow her to have a small night light in her bed to read by.

The problem is, this night light is made for adults, not children.  It's hard to hold, uses batteries and sometimes gets a little warmer than I'd like it to when it's accidentally left on.  That's why I was thrilled to try the new MOBI TykeLights AnimaLamp for Riley's late-night reading habit.

I can still remember it vividly...when I was a kid, I wanted to be a super hero very badly.  I thought that Wonder Woman was the coolest gal in the universe and even as a little girl, I did my best to be just like her.

As anyone knows, super heroes always have a uniform, and in order to better emulate my two favorite super heroes, Wonder Woman and Spider-Man, I needed the appropriate attire.  For me, that resulted in the wearing of two sweet pairs of Underoos anytime I could.  The problem was that in order for anyone to see said sweet Underoos, I had to take my clothes off.  :blush:  After one too many calls home from my day care, it was soon decided that Underoos could no longer be worn there.

Stride Rite understands every young child's longing to accomplish super fantastic feats in the vein of their favorite super hero, and has partnered with Marvel to create an entire line of amazing children's footwear, just in time for back to school.  Keep reading to learn more!
