Teach My Toddler

logo_box

As a mother of a toddler, I want to teach Katie everything I can. Teach My Toddler makes this a lot easier by putting all the learning materials in one organized box. Katie, I find, learns very well with repetition. With Teach My Toddler, everything is categorized and everything matches, making it extremely easy to grasp. She really likes how the pictures on the poster match the ones on the flashcards and the books! Although Katie has not mastered anything in the kit as of yet, she … [Read more...]

Home Sweet Home… In My Mind

Clear+Glass+Irruption+Blue+Sink+and+Waterfall+Faucet

I have been thinking a lot lately about what my dream house would look like. I love to look at what's out there, from appliances, furniture to even a bathroom sink.  I was recently  perusing one of CSN's websites and found this beauty: Isn't it pretty? I can picture it in my nice, relaxing master bath room, with my huge jacuzzi tub and separate shower that has all the jets all over the wall...sigh...           … [Read more...]

P.F. Chang’s Home Menu – Meals For Two

PFChangsHomeMenu_Logo

Since I live in Maine, we don't have many of the restaurants that many of you do in other states. For example, We don't have a Popeye's, Sonic, In and Out or P.F. Changs here in Maine. That's why I get a little excited when eateries decide to mainstream and mass market some of their dishes! P.F.Changs has done just that with their new home menu line. I was given a chance to try the Orange Chicken, and granted I'm sure it tastes so much better at the actual restaurant, I found it quite … [Read more...]

Recess Monkey – The Final Funktier Review

presslogo

I can usually tell when a children's music CD will be a hit in my house. Once I start playing the new CD if Katie gets a huge grin on her face and starts to shimmy and shake, we have a winner! This was the case with Recess Monkey's The Final Funktier. Every song on this CD is Superb! As I have stated in other kids music reviews, I loathe when the artists "sing down" or be overly cutesy to children. The music also has to be something that we as parents can stand listening to over and over … [Read more...]

Chili’s Restaurant

menu-hd

I was recently given the opportunity to review Chili's through WOMFire, and boy was I excited! I have not been to Chili's in over 10 years, so it was a treat! My hubby, mom and her boyfriend and I were out and about in Portland, Maine a week or so ago and decided to stop in for some lunch. Our lovely waitress, who's name escapes me...I think it was Anya or something like that, talked us into the new Loaded Nachos for an appetizer. Smothered in chicken and cheese, these nachos were delish! … [Read more...]
