I don't like to admit my vanity, but I have a feeling that I probably spend too much time in front of the mirror. Once I'm done washing my face, applying toner and a myriad of other facial creams and sunscreen, it's time to hit the makeup. After this is done, I still have to style my hair and then decide which accessories I'm going to wear. All of this womanly preparation equals a lot of time spent in the bathroom and a pair of tired, aching feet from standing on our hard tile floor.
Now most people might say, "Well, why don't you try eliminating a few steps from your beauty regimen and spending less time in front of the mirror?" MY solution...Get a WellnessMats Motif Collection Anti-Fatigue Mat instead! Their medically-proven cushioning system significantly improves comfort and overall tiredness when compared to standing on the floor. I recently had the chance to review the 3' x 2' Bella Motif Anti-Fatigue Mat in Black. Keep reading to learn more!

My daughter loves building toys of all kinds and comes up with some rather imaginative creations, especially as she continues to grow. Of course, I love encouraging her creativity and problem-solving skills with toys like this, which also help keep her away from the endless distractions that television and computers often bring.
Being blessed with a daughter means that I am immersed on a daily basis into the world of princesses, fairies, cupcakes and of course, the color pink. I believe that that's why Victoria Kann's series of children's books, Pinkalicious, has struck such a resounding chord with my own little princess.
The back-to-school shopping season is almost upon us, which has me reflecting back to the days of my own school supply needs when I was a kid. Things sure have changed since then. Big Chief writing tablets have been replaced by handwriting apps and husky pencils by tablet styluses.
My husband and I are big baseball/softball fans. We've both played these sports since we were little kids and even went on to play in college for a bit. So it's no surprise that we'd like Riley to follow in our footsteps and develop a love for "America's National Pastime" too. Learning the basic motor skills associated with baseball are key, such as keeping your eye on the ball and following it into your glove, and now thanks to Melissa & Doug, Riley can start developing this level of coordination in a fun and easy way.
Picture it...an absolutely gorgeous summer afternoon. The day is long and your to-do list is short, which means it's the perfect time to get outside with family and friends and have some fun! But on days like this, sometimes we have a hard time deciding exactly WHAT to do and end up wasting precious time.
