Consumerism and The V-Day Card…
lilsugar in Crafty Blogaholic, For the love of parenting, Holiday Blogaholics, Just Between Us - 2 comments - posted on Jan 24th, 2013Ever since Cookie was born I have always tried to keep things simple in terms of gender and gender-roles. In my home this works great, I have 2 boys who are very much diversified when it comes to playing, interacting and appreciating both female and male toys and ideals. Here is where the problem stars for me…school! When Cookie started school, all of a sudden his ‘neutral’ world came crashing down. Boys made fun of him for playing with girl toys and girls couldn’t understand why he wanted to. Cookie is still pretty strong when it comes to acceptance at … Continue reading
#MrGreekPTPA Review and $50 Gift Card Giveaway!!
lilsugar in Enter to Win!, Just Between Us - 15 comments - posted on Nov 22nd, 2012You have all heard me talk (rave) about Mr Greek’s full-service restaurant in the past. Well, I recently had the opportunity to review their Express location with my family and here is what I found…. Mr Greek restaurants, in my opinion are all WONDERFUL! The Express location was equally bright, clean and friendly, and the menu was very similar to the full service restaurant–bonus for me, since I don’t do very well with change. As soon as you walk through the doors of a Mr Greek restaurant the smell is welcoming and the menu is inciting! Upon arrival we were presently greeted with a warm smile and … Continue reading
Infiniti JX35 Review -PTPA Award Winner!
lilsugar in Product Reviews - 3 comments - posted on Nov 7th, 2012Have you seen this car?? Now this is luxury…are you ready?? Here it goes…. When I was asked to review the Infiniti JX35, I jumped at the chance!! Just look at this Crossover! When I first drove the Infiniti JX35, I was surprised to see how smoothly it actually drives….a little too smooth at first. I am used to pressing on the gas to accelerate and breaking often takes a while to come to a complete stop. NOT with this car! Breaking is fast and efficient, and accelerating is soft and smooth! While driving this car for a week, I felt … Continue reading
What’s in a Name?
lilsugar in For the love of parenting, Just Between Us, New Mommy Blogaholics - 3 comments - posted on Oct 27th, 2012When I named my two children I put A LOT of thought into their names. I researched, I looked for ‘signs’, and I even phonetically spelt them out to make sure they were perfect…at least for me lol. I sometimes admire those ‘classic’ names, or the regular-sounding ones because I now have to live the rest of my life explaining the meaning of my kids names!! Now my sister is pregnant with her first child and it has got us wondering what the heck to name this kid. I love the crazy, unique names, while she loves the simple sounding … Continue reading
For the longest time I have been contemplating buying a video baby monitor for my 2 children Not because they are babies, but because they love to play on their own in our finished basement. I often thought of this idea as a dream situation if I had the ability to keep an eye on them at all times, and still could provide them with the space they needed to play. When I was approached to review the The Motorola MBP33 Video Baby Monitor I was thrilled, and anxious to put my theory to the test! This monitor has … Continue reading
