Easter is less than a month away. YIKES. I feel like 2012 is in mega fast forward, don’t you? If you’re Type A (B+!) like yours truly and like to plan in advance, Gilt Kids’ Easter Boutique opens this Saturday, March 10th. Egg decorating kits, adorable dresses and shoes, bunny-themed books…you can find it all [...]
We’ve got quite an Angry Birds fan over here – in fact, I recently wrote about Wito’s obsession (and his knack for recreating the sound effects) at my Babble column. Now, I can’t say that the Angry Birds love has surpassed Cars and Cars 2, but hey, we’re just happy that the kid has branched [...]
I bought Wito’s classroom Valentine’s cards from Minted, and I couldn’t be happier. Doesn’t the little photo of his face just seal the deal? Would you, could you pleeeeaaase be my Valentine? However, I loved these homemade ideas as well…the slacker mom’s guide to homemade Valentine’s cards from Rage Against the Minivan (ADORABLE), Valentine’s Day [...]
First of all, would you just look at this face? How much do you want to squeeze and kiss and cuddle and love on that toddler?! (What? You don’t want to squeeze and kiss and cuddle and love some random blogger’s toddler? YOU’RE AS COLD AS ICE, I SAY!!) Wita, why are you growing up [...]
Super fun news! I’m a Gilt Mom Ambassador for 2012! What is a Gilt Mom Ambassador, you ask? In Gilt’s words: Mother knows best, right? Gilt Kids thinks so! That’s why we’re teaming up with real moms who inspire us. Our Gilt Mom Ambassadors will help us share advice, ideas, and opinions on all things [...]
As my year as a Huggies Every Little Bottom ambassador comes to an end, one of the things I learned in regards to diaper drives is that they are all operated independently of one another – such a wonderful endeavor to take on, but not too much cohesion as a nation. That’s why I’m really [...]
1. Thanks for all of your exercise recs last week. I attended my first spin class in over a decade today, and man, I missed that sweat-dripping, heart-racing, bass-thumping, thigh-burning kind of cardio. I’ve got some barre and mat pilates classes coming up, so hopefully I can find that perfect mix of cardio and toning. [...]
Hello, I’m Sarah. I’m a plaster-your-baby’s-mug-on-an-online-animation addict. Hello, Sarah. I can promise you right now that I will never grow tired of these online holiday greetings. It’s baby Wita Santa! She’s dancing! She’s adorable! I LOVE HER! I mean, these cards! Sooo, have you seen the Huggies Santa Diapers? I must admit, they make me [...]
Brenda Ponnay (aka Secret Agent Josephine) and I go way back. Wayyyyyyyy back – in fact, it was Brenda who encouraged me to start this blog back in 2005! (Which, of course, led me to search for past entries about SAJ, and well, there went my entire morning.) Tiny aside – do you all remember [...]
Christmas lists and Black Friday and Cyber Monday and toy commercials and holiday planning…it’s a mind boggling time of year, isn’t it? Lots of cash flow going in and out, but while we are enveloped in All Things Holiday, please try to remember that many families don’t have clean diapers to put on their babies. [...]
1. Do you have a Drybar in your area? If so, run as fast as your little legs can carry you right this very minute. $35 for the most fabulous blowdry you could imagine. (And they have a menu of blowdry styles! Sleek and Straight! Straight with body! Loose curls! Beach curls! LOVE IT.) I [...]
First and foremost, thank you to everyone who donated to the raffle benefiting the LA Diaper Drive. Thank you from the bottom of my heart! We raised $605 overall, and every penny of that money will be spent on diapers for those in need in the LA county area. I’m also so thankful for the [...]
Big weekend at the Whoorl household. D and I celebrated our 7-year anniversary on Saturday, and I turned 37 on Sunday. (Love all the sevens, by the way. Let’s hope that means a lucky year lies ahead!) Southern California had a rainy weekend, which truthfully could not have made me happier. Chilly, fall weather? Yes, [...]
For my friends whose kiddos attend California public schools (although I’m sure plenty more can empathize with what the slumping economy is doing to our public education), I just heard about a fun way to help raise money for our elementary schools. To put it mildly, things aren’t looking so great in regards to public [...]
