"Are we there yet?"  With Spring Break right around the corner, are you already dreading this inevitable question from your children?  I'll be the first to admit that a long plane or car ride is not necessarily an enjoyable experience, but when your children get antsy to get somewhere, the trip definitely takes a turn for the worst.

I have a four-year-old who does not quite get the concept of time yet, so when we go on vacation, it's best to keep her as entertained and occupied as possible.  Now I could plant her in front of a movie or video game, but I'd prefer something a tad less electronic and a bit more stimulating.  Leave it to Barron's to create an entire series of fun and amazing books no family trip should be without!

One thing that was slightly overwhelming for me when I became a new mom, was just how much STUFF my little bundle of joy needed!  Personally, I relied on Riley's playard for playtime, nap time and almost everything else in between.  It's a wonderful addition to any home because it can wear so many hats, yet take up so little space.  The only drawback to the typical playard is the lack of ease with which it can be cleaned.

Thankfully, there's a way to incorporate completely washable fabrics into a brand new playard creation, the InGenuity Washable Playard Deluxe with Dream Centre.  Now you no longer have to wonder/worry about what nastiness is lurking in your child's playard.  With a quick wash in your washing machine, this playard is good as new again!

Although I don't really like to admit it, I have to say that I'm totally hooked on my new iPhone 5.  I've never owned an iPhone before and now after owning this one for a few months, I don't see how I lived this long without one!  :rofl:

Seriously, this communication device is just so much more than a mere phone.  It helps keep me thoroughly organized and connected, which is essential for tackling my daily to-do list.  It also allows me to take and share those precious moments with my daughter as well as keep myself entertained should I ever have a few minutes of alone time.  A device like the iPhone 5 though is not cheap and so I want to do anything and everything in my power to make sure that it is virtually bulletproof.  That's where Stanley Black & Decker comes in!

When I review my monthly finances, I see a large chunk of money going to support my beauty regimen.  Between hair appointments, trips to the nail salon and skin and hair care products, I realize it often costs a pretty penny to look my best.  Because of this, I'm always on the hunt for well-made, top notch products which won't break the bank.

This time, my search for frugal beauty values took me to the other side of the globe, but what I found there was extraordinary: Siberian Health International.  This health and beauty company was founded in Novosibirsk, the third most populous city in Russia.  Siberian Health develops and produces an extensive line of biologically active dietary supplements and skin care products that are based on many years of scientific researches of unique properties of herbs from the Baikal Lake and Altai Mountains.

In my opinion, there are few items more valuable than personalized jewelry.  Now these pieces don't necessarily represent a lot monetarily, but the memories, feelings and love behind each of these items is what makes them priceless.

Sterling silver jewelry is definitely my favorite because it looks amazing, is affordable and goes well with anything.  Something About Silver not only has an amazing selection of unique silver jewelry, they have found breathtaking ways to personalize each one.  I recently had the chance to review 3 stacking rings from this company.  Keep reading to see them up close and find out how I made each ring represent the most important things in my life.

Are you busy fighting dry winter skin?  February is usually an especially rough time for me because after battling months of winter, it seems that my skin finally dries up completely during this month.  But honestly, I'm usually too busy to worry with applying application after application of full body lotion each and every day.

That's why I couldn't have been happier to be selected as a Dove Mom Ambassador!  Dove is a brand that I've believed in and used regularly for years.  They always seem to find a way to deliver top quality skin care products at prices I can afford.

I've been using their newest line of gentle body wash containing NutriumMoisture for the last few weeks and I'm thrilled at the effortless skin softening I receive from this product.  How can full body moisturizing be effortless?  Because with Dove body wash, it's super easy to soften while you shower!
