Child Passenger Safety Week is Sept. 16-22 this year, and Britax is spreading the word on how to keep our most precious treasures safe, including sponsoring a Red CARpet event for parent celebrities (hosted by Ali Landry, who became a certified child passenger safety technician in 2010 when she learned that 75 percent of car […]

  • Looks like a great event and Britax car seats are the way to go.

  • I think every parent should have their child’s car set checked.

  • I love the fact that you can get your car set checked.

  • We are a britax family too!

  • We are a Britax family as well.

  • We were a Britax family too!

  • I love Britax! It’s the only car seat I will use. The event looks like it was awesome!

  • I love that they are offering this service. No many of us mom’s don’t know if we are or aren’t using the car seats properly.

  • It looks like a great car seat!

  • April Decheine

    Wow looks like a really great car seat!

  • My nephew rocks his Britax car seat and since TODAY is National Seat Check Saturday, I’m going to text my sister and have her take the car in for a seat inspection. Thank you for sharing!

  • Looks like a great car seat!

  • Sounds like a really good car seat!

  • I’m getting the Advocate as well for my daughter and so glad they came out with this new technology!

  • I’m pretty impressed with all the features in place to help keep the seat from going forward if in an accident.

  • Leilani

    This is definitely an outfit I’d wear. I love the red shoe!

  • What a cute work outfit!

  • Billie

    That is the cutest handbag.

  • LOVE THE RED SHOES!!!! I want them soo Hot and sexy puts a great color pop in the outfit

  • Jenn

    Must.Have.Those.Shoes!

  • I love those shoes. They are too cute. I’m cleaning out my closets now for yard sales to buy new stuff. Fun!

  • Danielle Branch

    I have to agree with you. I think this looks is simply yet classy. I love the pop of color the shoes give the whole wardrobe. Here in Florida, the jacket might be too hot, but what is fabulous is that the shirt can stand on its own as well. Nice touch with the bow earrings.

  • Great choices!

Memories Of Ice Cream And Frozen Icies (And An Ice Cream Giveaway)

As a child, few things were more thrilling than the jingling sound of the ice cream truck coming around in on warm summer evenings. I remember running to catch it with the other neighborhood children, while calling back over my shoulder for my mother in the hopes she would be willing to buy me an […]

  • we are huge ice cream lovers! we hardly ever see the ice cream truck around here though 🙁

  • Heather!

    Usually I love a big, good old-fashioned banana split! That brings back special memories to me because it was what my dad and I always ordered together. But Choco Tacos are amazingly delicious too! 🙂

    (Now I’ve got a goo for some ice cream!)

    Thanks!

  • We love it when the ice cream truck comes around!!

  • We are huge lovers of Bryers icecream here.

  • I love that picture!

    Since I LOVE York Peppermint Patties (and have NEVER tried these ice cream bars) – that’s what I’d choose.

  • I would love to win a years worth of ice cream

  • Stefanie

    I miss the ice cream truck…we don’t have one in our neighborhood.

  • Only one? OK maybe I’m disqualified but I’m giving you MORE then one LOL

    Butter Pecan ice cream in a sugar cone (reminds me of walking down the boardwalk with my dad)
    Applebee’s Blonde Brownie Sunday (a mix of cold and hot)
    Coldstones brownie thingy (not sure the name) Ice cream, brownie, chocolate, nuts all mixed together YUM!

  • I miss the ice cream truck, never see it around anymore

  • The watermelon pops sound yummy! Can’t wait to try these!

  • nickie

    We love Berger ice cream

  • Jessica To

    My favorite is the Magnum ice cream bars with caramel!

We Found Our New Home

House shopping has consumed my family for the last few months, since we sold our small condo back in May and moved into an even smaller dwelling “for now”. Living in limbo in this in-between time, cramped and saving towards a larger down payment, it’s incredible how great any house on the market appears after […]

  • Congratulations! You are going to have a lot of fun making into your own place.

  • Congrats!!! I hope your family can put your special touches in it soon

  • I can’t wait to read about the remodeling projects and I’m so happy you found a home!

  • Congrats!!!

  • Your home looks lovely and like a great corner lot! I can’t wait to see more pictures and how you end up decorating it to reflect your own style!

  • CONGRATS!!!! How exciting! I’m the total opposite- while I would love to make a home my own by adding my own touches, I can’t be bothered with the 72 trips to home depot to pick out tiles. I just don’t have the patience for that!

  • So exciting! Congratulations…. 🙂

  • Congrats Penelope. I can’t wait to see your pics from your renovations.,

  • I’m so happy for you! I can’t wait to see more.

  • Congratulations, Penelope. I’m so excited for you guys.

    Lots of fun work coming, congratulations!

  • So happy for you! Can’t wait to hear about your upcoming projects and congratulations! 🙂

  • Stefanie

    How exciting!! Congrats!

  • Congrats! Such a gorgeous place to call your own 🙂

  • Rachel at managedmoms.com

    Congratulations! It is charming! Now it is time to make your new house a home with all of the fun stuff you will do inside. Enjoy and share with us what you do!

  • Congrats it looks adorable and homey from the outside already!

  • Congrats!!!!!!

    We chose based on neighborhood and school too — definitely not the biggest or fanciest on our street but we love it And, like you, I’m now in the midst of picking decor, planning upgrade projects…. things that will make it “home” and put some equity in the house.

    It’s stressful but fun!

    And, I love your new house!

  • I can’t wait to see how everything turns out for you and your remodeling to taste. I’m still trying to get to things from almost 10 yrs ago and the projects are slow moving

  • Yay! I’m so excited for you!

  • Leilani

    Congrats! That’s so exciting.

  • Heather!

    Congratulations! Looks like a lovely home, and I KNOW you’re going to have fun putting your own stamp on it. I can’t wait to see what projects you get into!

  • Congrats on buying your home. I wish you all the best as you move in and renovate.

  • Tammy

    How fun! We’re going to be (hopefully) in the same position soon. Originally we were going to rent, but with mortgage rates being so low, it’s just smart to buy – but the neighborhood we want means an older home as well. I’m looking forward to seeing all the things you do with your new home 🙂

  • Nicole Renee

    Congratulations on your first house!

3 Guys = Lots Of Laundry #MaytagMoms

We’ve been doing our laundry with the new Maytag Bravos XL washer and dryer set for about two months now, and it’s unbelievable how much easier it makes life when you have a washer and dryer set in the home, especially a large capacity set that washes and dries larger loads. Suddenly, it doesn’t feel […]

  • Look at all of those buttons and dial options.

  • This set sounds fab. I do a lot of loads on our heavy duty load just to save time plus I only do laundry every other day. Love that I’m saving money and spending way less time doing laundry…my least favorite chore.

  • Looks so pretty. I love pretty appliances

  • Beautiful photos and I’m jealous over all of those features!

  • It’s a gorgeous washer and dryer!! I love the Cold Wash Cycle!

  • I have to hang up so many of my clothes because our dryer will shrink them. Even jeans and I hate it! My husband can’t even do laundry for fear he’ll dry something he’s not supposed to. It’s so great to know there’s technology available that would eliminate this issue!

  • These are great features!!!!

  • I never knew a baby could make so much laundry. I do laundry for her daily. Loveee the pictures

  • I need one of those! There are 5 guys in this house and I am about to be buried under all the laundry.

  • debra

    These look wonderful.
