Even though it’s sweltering hot here in the Poconos today, and hoodies are the furthest thing from my mind, the summer months do bring some cool nights. I know Jacob will need something to keep him warm on those nights, but a sweatshirt is usually overkill....

I actually read On Demon Wings (Experiment in Terror #5) the very day Karina Halle sent it to me for review, but then all that crazy medical junk came up and I just realized I never finished writing my review. Slap my hand for that, I feel awful about it!...

Sidewalk chalk is a huge favorite in our household, both for Jacob and for me. Hey, I get to be a kid sometimes too, right? We’ve been playing with it since he was old enough to hold it in his hands. I taught him the ABCs, sight words, and more with little more...

Jacob loves personalized stuff, especially stuff that gives him a place to put yet more stuff, and believe me, he has an enormous amount of stuff (I do love seeing how many times I can use the same word in a sentence!). Personalized bags and other goodies are awesome,...

I am loving this new “get a box of goodies for a low price” thing that’s going on today. The premise is pretty awesome: you pay a relatively low price and get a box of full-size and samplers for products you may not know about. KLUTCHclub is one of...

As far as I know, I’m not really a snorer. If I am, my boyfriend is way too polite to tell me (and I’ll thank him to keep it that way!). My mom claims I am, but I think she’s just crazy. However, I do suffer from sinus congestion, which makes it a...
