McAlister’s – This Saturday’s Shout-Out

Last weekend we all packed into the van in the rain to run over to the buy buy Baby store…I’d never been in there and they had ONE stroller in stock that I was interested in (that you can normally only get online) so I had to rush over to see it.  (More on the stroller

Pinterest – This Saturday’s Shout-Out

As if I need one more thing on the internet to take up my time…but, PIN IT TO ME! I first learned about Pinterest during the Ultimate Blog Party.  I was going to write a big ol’ message explaining Pinterest and my love for it…but, I’m using a friend’s computer and it’s taking me twice

Rice Cooker – This Saturday’s Shout-Out

Rice Cooker – This Saturday’s Shout-Out

It’s been awhile since the last “Shout-Out” so here’s a new favorite item of mine… the Aroma 6-cup Rice Cooker. I have never been able to cook rice correctly on the stove-top, no matter how hard I tried.  A friend recommended this and we requested it as a Christmas gift.  And now, since Christmas, my

Lean Cuisine Spring Rolls – This Saturday’s Shout-Out

Anyone tried these yet?  YUMMY.  I like the Thai-Style and Fajita-Style.  Both are very good.  And the best part?  TWO servings in one box.  Frugal me says…Yay! The “crisping sleeve” you cook them in reminded Andy of Hot Pockets.  So he found this Jim Gaffigan comedy clip about Hot Pockets…very funny.  Enjoy! Jim Gaffigan and

Gentle Vapors – This Saturday’s Shout-Out

With all of the sinus gunk in our house this week, these vapor plug-ins are AWESOME.  We use them in Henry’s room and he sleeps so much better.  If you haven’t tried them, you can find them at Target or Walmart.  And it’s even a night-light.  I’m so glad a friend suggested them – THANK

phil&teds Stroller – This Saturday’s Shout-Out

We love our stroller.  In fact, other than the Snap ‘n Go for the infant car seat, we only own ONE stroller.  A phil&teds.  For us it was a really smart buy since we knew we were planning on having multiple kids back-to-back.  It was an expensive purchase, but we justified it by only having one

Lisa Leonard Jewelry – This Saturday’s Shout-Out

A long time ago I was reading a blog and came across Lisa Leonard Jewelry.  Ever since then I have wanted to order something, but never did.  However, I kept noticing her jewelry everywhere – blogs, magazines, etc.  I decided that as soon as I decided we were done having kids, I’d pick out something and

Rusk Flat Iron – This Saturday’s Shout-Out

I adore my Rusk Flat Iron.  I got it as a gift for my birthday from Andy almost 3 years ago (I asked for it) and it has truly changed my life as far as getting ready in the morning.  I had tried many other flat irons, but NONE have compared to the Rusk.  The only

Mitchell’s Salon – This Saturday’s Shout-Out

Preparing for my weekend girls-only trip to Florida, I decided to splurge and get a manicure and pedicure.  Sadly, I still had $$ left from a gift card Andy got me for Christmas in 2009!  (Being pregnant right afterwards and SICK didn’t make for many trips to the spa in 2010.) I am a spa snob.  For

The Spotted Elephant – This Saturday’s Shout-Out

My dear middle child turned TWO last week.  And her two loves in life are cookies and hats followed by Elmo.  In learning about my new cubicle-mate, Kim, I quickly discovered how talented she is outside of the office.  She and her husband knit among many other things.  And her pricing is extremely reasonable. So I
