September 22, 2009 by Kimberly · 7 Comments
I really like InStyle magazine. I usually buy it off the newsstand at the start of each season just to get an idea of what’s out there fashion and beauty-wise. I especially like their September/fall fashion issues. I bought one at the airport when I was going to General Mills in MN [...]
Education Helpers: U-PLAY MAT and LeapFrog TAG
September 17, 2009 by Kimberly · 3 Comments
Although I have “issues” with the current educational system in our country, I’m definitely a big fan of education. I am definitely not one of those parents who expect their kids to learn everything in school. I definitely believe that one of my “roles” as a mom is to nurture a love of [...]
Kindergarten Teachers’ School Supplies List
September 10, 2009 by Kimberly · 6 Comments
This is the second year that I have needed to buy school supplies for Michael. Each year gets a bit easier. Last year was a bit stressful, because the list was ambiguous regarding sizes / brands / etc. My only challenge this year is that I didn’t receive the list until last [...]

Congrats to the winner: Ellen C.
Do your kids like creepy crawly things? Mines usually don’t except on the rare occasion. That’s why I passed off a Bugs Fandex (Fandex Family Field Guides) that I was sent to review. I gave it to a Mom in the City member whose 5 year old [...]
Potty Talk
August 26, 2009 by Kimberly · 10 Comments
Sean is 2 and ½ , so family members are starting to ask if I’m trying to potty train him “yet”. Short answer: “no”. I thought about trying to train him this summer, but I didn’t. He hasn’t shown any interest in using the potty and I’m in no rush to force [...]
