A Stinky Valentine? Scratch & Sniffs From Peaceable Kingdom #Review

It's that time of year again — Valentines with the kids.  This year it's pretty cool because Jackson is practicing writing his own name.  It's so cute to watch him concentrating, sometimes with his tongue out!  Last year we made play dough valentines that smelled like pink lemonade.  This year, it doesn't smell so good....

Incase Book Jacket from OutfitYOURS Protects Your iPad With Style #Review

  I got an iPad 2 for Christmas and while I have a back cover for it, we needed something a little more protective for traveling.  My husband is going on a long business trip and we needed something FAST.  Since I'd done business with OutfitYOURS.com in the past and had been thrilled with their level of customer service and lightening fast shipping, it was a no brainer for me.  I got … [Read more...]
