Summer Shopping at The Children’s Place
It’s warming up (well, most days at least), and a couple weeks ago I did the seasonal clothing switch. We were in pretty good shape as far as summer clothes for Dexter, but Cooper was in need of shorts and Campbell didn’t have any shorts in the right size. We shopped The Children’s Place for…
Family Dollar Kidgets Diapers and Wipes
My 3-year-old Dexter is still in diapers and seems to have no desire to get out of them any time soon. Sigh. Although we’ve used cloth diapers for a majority of his diapered years, lately they don’t seem to be keeping him dry so we’ve switched to disposables. I was offered the chance to try…

Printcopia Canvas Prints Review and Giveaway
I’m a sucker for pictures – I can’t stop taking them and I love having pictures hanging all over our house. I also think they make a great gift for the holidays for family and friends. We have framed pictures all over, but I love canvas prints even more. I had the chance to try…
