When my little artist first started exploring the world of color, she had Color Wonder markers and paper. The markers are all white, but magically transform from colorless to colorful when they touch the special Color Wonder paper. And it’s not like those old coloring books I remember having as a kid- the kind where you only have one marker and you use it to reveal the color already on the paper. Crayola has a huge selection of markers, coloring pages, plain paper and even finger paints. Crayola sent some of their new products for me and the kids to try, and they’re so great for mess-free art!

Atlantic Luggage Review & Giveaway!!
Over the years I’ve collected a random mix of luggage pieces in all colors and sizes. We’re about to depart on a BIG adventure as a family, so I’ve been taking stock of our collection. Most of our luggage pieces have some defect … broken zipper, stuck handle, stiff wheel. Very frustrating.
In the next two months, we’ll be driving approximately 4,500 miles across the country (and back) to visit family, moving to Washington DC and then eventually departing on international postings for my husband’s new job. Bottom line – luggage will be a HUGE part of my reality!
Fun Summer Education with Brain Chase ~ Giveaway & Discount!
My oldest daughter will be finishing up her first year in public school in just over a week!! It’s so hard to believe that this school year is already over. She’s grown by leaps and bounds in so many areas, but especially in reading. She has learned to love reading, and I want to encourage that passion and keep her learning even through the summer months. It’s hard to know exactly how to do that without her getting frustrated or feeling like it’s just another “chore.”
Well, I’ve found an amazing solution for fun summer education … Brain Chase!

Printography Review & Giveaway
There is just something special about decorating your home with photos taken by you or a loved one. I grew up with a photographer dad who painstakingly created beautiful photo collages that hung throughout our home. Fortunately, I’m parenting in the age of technology, and I don’t have to cut and paste my photos to display them. All I have to do is find a good photo print company online and let them do all the work.

Obol Review & Giveaway ~ Never Eat Soggy Cereal Again!!
A bowl, is a bowl, is a bowl – right?? Wrong!! The creators of the Obol have completely redesigned the standard bowl into something that is pure genius! This very sturdy and stable bowl is designed with an upper section to hold cereal (or anything else) and the bottom area holds the milk. You just swoop a bite from the top into the bottom area as you eat. Each bite stays crispy and delicious.
Come check out my full review and enter to win your very own Obol!
