Last month, I was introduced to the greatness of the California Wine Club. I have to say that the very idea of someone selecting quality wines for me and shipping them to my door is appealing on its own, but the folks at California Wine Club (see how I liked my first shipment) really know their Continue Reading …
I think i’ve seen Cars 2 eight times already. Obviously the first 2 viewings were probably the most exciting, given that I was at a screening in LA and then got to walk the Red Carpet and attend the World Premiere!! In Cars 2, we revisit many of our friends from Cars- only time has Continue Reading …
I’ve been lucky enough to have a Striiv to play with- and keep track of my physical activity lately. What is a Striiv? A personal fitness technology device. It’s kind of like a pedometer but includes walking based games to motivate (which I am never finding for myself), and donations to charity with every step taken. Yes, your Continue Reading …
I don’t know about you, but I am always looking for excuses to try out new baby gear. Before now, I never had a small baby in the winter time and therefore never needed to worry about keeping them warm while traveling.

Needless to say we had a million and more photos from the wedding, maybe in part because all three of my kids were IN the wedding?!?! and I love taking pictures. Continue Reading …
LeapFrog has done it again. Or maybe I should say, done it still? LeapFrog is one of our favorite toy brands, and has been since Busy Bargains was a new baby. We’ve had countless toys and games from LeapFrog, and I forsee many more in our future. Recently we got some really cool stuff from Continue Reading …
I had a post started last Saturday, right at this time, set to go live on Monday, 10/31, talking about the Audiovox Portable DVD player we got to review, and how its nice and compact, and works well. I just erased all that, a week later, because during my drafting of that post, we lost Continue Reading …
Can you even believe it? Me, who isn’t a runner, or I guess haven’t ever been a runner, needed to go to the store to buy running shoes. For running. Since I’ve not done this before, I had no idea where to start or what to think. I had the opportunity to check out Continue Reading …
