The Three Most Essential Items
My Sweetheart and I were talking on the way home from Spanish Banks. The conversation turned to the “what do you think are the three items that are essential to us in regards to our babies.” She immediately said, well, “You.” Making me quickly adjust my mental list to place her at the top of [...]
Computer Changes and Crashes
After a few days of computer troubles we seem to be back in business. We tried out a little netbook for a couple of days and all I will say is, don’t buy a single core processor! I had no idea what the difference between a single, double or triple core processor was until this [...]
Test Drive of the Ferrari Maranello 550
As I said in yesterday’s Wordless Wednesday post, we have begun our search for a new family car. Rather than simply go out and sign up for a ten year term with a characterless mini-van, I thought it would be fun to shop around and see what our options are before buying a new family [...]
Goddess Blends Soap and our Second Giveaway
How cool is this! Even as our first contest-giveaway is ramping up, we are preparing to start another. Recently I needed to buy some good quality, homemade, shea butter soap. Ding! I remember seeing that a Facebook friend is in the soap business. In short strokes for now, I emailed the good people from Goddess Blends Soaps [...]
Store Brand Vs Name Brand Products
Last night I stopped at our local “Chopper” grocery store (somehow, I have no idea why, that is what we started to call the local No-Frills store when it opened a few months ago).

TV Remote Control
The one “toy” that our twins covet more than ANYTHING else in our house is the tv/pvr remote control. And if it suddenly gets very quiet in the living-room, you can trust that a little one has her hands on the remote. I can barely figure out how to turn on the television (never mind [...]
2 Million Cribs Recalled
Be aware baby people!! More than 2 million cribs from seven companies were recalled Thursday amid concerns that babies can suffocate, become trapped or fall from the cribs. Most of the cribs were drop-sides, which have a side rail that moves up and down so parents can lift children from them more easily. That movable [...]
Baby Product Test Results
From the time that our twins were born I have made a point of “trying” or testing out all the products that I use with them. I do this under the guise of knowing what it is that I am making my kidlets use or consume. Strictly scienctific stuff here folks. Science. So one of [...]
Ergo Baby Carrier; Our Top Essential Gear
Other than the obvious things like diapers and baby bottles, there are a few other things that we have purchased that might be considered convenience items that really are “essential” gear. The number one thing in that category are the Ergo Baby carriers that we purchased and use on a daily basis. Before we bought our Ergos [...]
