I’ve had my eye on Octobo since CES 2020. I was intrigued by how “smart” it was! It’s powered by whatever tablet you have (7 inch tablets work best) by downloading the Octobo Story app, sliding the tablet into the slot and then Octobo comes to life! It’s a plush octopus that reacts to your ...
Our family resolution is to ditch plastic completely. We already use beeswax wraps instead of plastic wrap, but were having a very hard time dropping Ziplock bags. I ended up getting a full set of Zip Top storage bags and a four pack of quart and a two pack of gallon sized silicone bags from ...
You may remember my resolution to cook like a grownup in 2020. This lead me to google: “quality pots that are cheap” and I found a bunch of people talking about Misen. Apparently they offered moderately priced cookware that is professional quality. I got a Starter Cookware Set and a Chef’s Knife and hoped for ...
So we are inside more than we have ever been in our lives, and it is summer to add insult to injury. I went internet splunking for new STEM toys to keep us from getting full on cabin fever and I found TubeLox. I should warn you, my level of obsession with this product is ...
It has been a long few months. We are trying to avoid crowded places, places with any people, essentially anywhere outside of my house but I am really stir crazy at this point. I have wanted to get a bike trailer for a while, and a pandemic seemed like the perfect time to do it. ...

Every once in a while I find a brand I get really obsessed with. It is rare but it happens. Mindware/ Peaceable Kingdom are two of those brands for me. We have a cabinet full of Peaceable Kingdom games for toddlers/ young kids, yet I will always come back for more. The brilliant thing about ...
When I found out I was expecting, I became enthralled with buying books for my baby. I got copies of all of my favorite stories as well as so many new ones. Fast forward to now, my baby LOVES books. He wants to hold them, look at the pictures, flip through the pages, chew on ...
I always made it my goal to breastfeed for a year. Once my kid turned 10 months, my milk supply started to drop and I got so worried I wouldn’t make it to my goal. I started looking into things to help boost lactation. I knew I didn’t want anything herbal because I’ve heard those ...
One of my goals for 2020 is to start cooking like a grown-up. My pots and pans are from my wedding and really needed some sprucing up. For me, the problem with buying kitchen stuff is it is SO expensive. I feel like I need to break into my kids college fund to be able ...
