It’s a lucky day for me when I get to take a shower without two little sets of eyes peering at me while I try to do so. It’s sad, but true.  When I do get the chance to take a shower with the bathroom door closed & locked – I like to stay in there and enjoy the peace & quiet.  According to a recent survey conducted by Ivory soap, 66% of moms surveyed confessed to hiding in the bathroom for some much-needed alone time – and I definitley fall into that category!

If you’re a parent, you know that birthday party supplies can cost you a small fortune.  I’m lucky in so far that my two youngest boys both have August birthdays and I always combine the party.  Since they’re so young I can still get away with them sharing a theme whether they like it or not, but the supplies still add up.  Well, when I found out about a company called Discount Party Supplies.  They are a leading online retailer of party supplies, birthday supplies, and many other party products.

If you’re a regular around here, you already know that I’ve reviewed a couple of Aerobie products and absolutely loved them!  So when they contacted me about reviewing their Megatop Spinning Top, I was psyched.  I knew it was going to be an awesome product before I ever even tried it.  And once I received it and put it into action, I was not disappointed.

Ever since my kids got some DaGeDar toys a few months back, they’ve been obsessed with them.  Little did I know that my second grader was going to be the first amongst his friends to have to toys and now they seem to be one of the hottest toys of this holiday season.   DaGeDar is sort of an advanced marble type of toy in which the kids collect “marbles” and race them.

Anyone who knows me, knows how much I love a good cup of coffee.   There’s nothing like waking up to a chilly New England morning with a warm cup of coffee.  I’ve been drinking coffee for years (I started back in high school) and although I have heard of Caribou Coffee, I had never had the chance to try it – until now that is.  The good folks over at Caribou Coffee sent me some of their Reindeer Blend to try for myself.  Being a coffee lover, I was thrilled and couldn’t wait to brew a cup or two.
