By Caryn ~ January 5, 2009 Comments
Before my son was born, my husband and I were avid travelers. In 8 months we managed to visit over 15 countries. Earlier this year we decided to take on a new adventure…traveling with a child. At the time, my son was only ten months old and I honestly dreaded the process of getting [...]

Book Review: Curse of the Bone Pirates
By Caryn ~ January 2, 2009 Comments
Do you know what I love about books? They do everything from teaching a preschooler their ABC’s to transporting a tween to a far away land. I recently reviewed Curse of the Bone Pirates: Nui Island Eco-logical Adventures. This is the first of the Nui Island Eco-logical Adventure Series, and I hope it’s not the last. While it’s [...]
Olive Kids… Accessorize Your Child’s Room in Style
By Caryn ~ January 5, 2009 Comments
Up until a few months ago, my son didn’t have his own room. He “lived” with mommy and daddy in our one bedroom apartment. During my pregnancy, I spent a lot of time obsessing over researching baby products (what else do you do when you’re on bedrest?) I remember the twinge of sadness I felt [...]

Up until recently, I had thought of video games as a childhood past time. I attended BlogHer in July and was able to demo some of Nintendo’s newest games. I liked them so much that I’m even considering the possibility of having a system in our house. One of the games I think would be [...]

Karito Kids…Making A Difference One Doll At A Time

“Open her world, her mind, her heart”
When I was a little girl, I played with Barbie dolls and Cabbage Patch Kids. In fact, I still have them boxed up at my parent’s house hoping that a little girl in our future may appreciate them as much as I did. Little girls and their dolls go [...]
Get In Shape Girl! With Weight Watchers!
By Caryn ~ December 23, 2008 Comments
I am going to get a little vulnerable and share with you something that I’ve struggled with since I was a teenager. As a woman, we all feel pressure to “fit the mold.” Actresses and models don’t accurately portray most women. I remember the embarrassment I felt getting dressed for gym class as a teenager [...]

For as long as I can remember, my parents had a can of Pledge in the house at all times. I remember using it to clean everything from tables to televisions. The fresh lemon scent is all too familiar and it is just as effective as it was 15+ years ago. It’s super easy to [...]

Eight months ago I received a sample of dropps laundry detergent in the mail. I liked it so much that I never went back to conventional detergent. dropps is a biodegradable, phosphate-free, chlorine-free and NPE-free laundry detergent. I love the fact that they’re [...]

A couple of weeks ago I blogged about the wonderful time we had at Disneyland. I wanted to share with you a little more about how magical Disneyland is during the holidays!
One of the things I love about the holidays is the food! Disney knows how important food is and they’ve risen to the occasion [...]
