I love consignment stores since they help me save big money on kid clothes. I feel like I’m constantly bagging up clothing that is way too small for my daughter — of course, as that happens, she also needs more clothing to wear. A fairly recent discovery for me is Once Upon a Child, a [...]

When it comes to clothing for little girls, you don’t have to look far to find cute.  Everything is cute.  And pink.  And purple.  The challenge is looking beyond that to find cute in the everyday.  Cute in the not pink.  So when I received an email from the folks at Simply Chickie, describing their [...]

I received some sample packs of SOAK wash to review. After reading the instructions, I was a bit skeptical. Surely something that you just add to cold water and not rinse out can’t work that well, right? Well, I was wrong. SOAK worked just as it stated it would.
I tested the Flora scent and the [...]

We are no stranger to the products from the folks at Hatley. We have already had the opportunity to review their adult boots and their baby bundler. We like. We like. So when they offered to send me a bright, cheery raincoat for Madeline, they didn’t have to ask twice.
As soon as we opened up [...]

When it comes to clothing for my kids, I can be found scouring the racks of Target, Carters, Gap and Old Navy with the rest of ‘em.  But I also like finding new sources for children’s clothing so that the kids can get something a little different too.  One of the most fun perks of this Voice of [...]

Several months back, I told you all about the absolutely adorable Kamik Daisy 2 rainboots that a wonderful PR person sent over for my daughter. They were too big back then, but they fit her perfectly now, so I figured an update on the boots was in order.
I’d been storing the boots under Paige’s bed [...]

When it comes to choosing clothing items for my daughter, while I’m definitely all about the pink, I also like items that are bit less predictable too.  Simple patterns, unusual designs, a little bit of text … her drawers run the gamut. 
I’m always on the hunt for a new source for cute kids’ clothing, so [...]

Cate will attest that until recently, I wanted nothing at all to do with crafty things. While I certainly like the idea of creating things at home, crafting just isn’t in my comfort zone. But 2009 is the year of breaking out of my comfort zone for me, so I have been doing all sorts [...]

I swear I feel like I go to Target at least once a week … that’s because I probably do.  It seems that no sooner do I return home from a Target trip do I already have a new Target list quickly forming on the refrigerator.  What can I say?  I like one-stop shopping and [...]
