Hey, New York: Are you ready for an Emergency?

Posted in giveaway, tagged , , , , on January 27, 2012 | Leave a Comment »

So here’s the thing about living in Manhattan: It’s culture filled and exciting.  It has great shopping and even better food.  It’s never boring, it sometimes smells. It’s where my family has lived since the late 19th century.  And it’s an island, which means that if there’s an emergency here, well, we’re kind of stuck. [...]

If I need a gift for a toddler, or a first or second grader, I head on over the The Toy Insider, because I know they don’t just list a bunch of toys, these people research and test and try and can rattle off the manufacturer’s suggested retail price of any toy on the market.  [...]

Giveaway: Pillow Pet and Pillow Pet DS Game

Posted in giveaway, tagged , , , , , , , , on November 18, 2011 | 15 Comments »

Everybody loves Pillow Pets.  They’re pillows, they’re stuffed animals.  They are, it seems, universally loved. Personally, I don’t get it.  To me, they’re neither really stuffed animals, nor quite real pillows.  But hey, that’s why I invented KidzVuz, so kids could tell us what they love — even when their parents don’t get it. And [...]

End the Bad Weather Blues with an Endless Ocean Giveaway

Posted in giveaway, Shopping, tagged , , , on February 25, 2010 | 142 Comments »

I am looking out my window right now and perhaps the only word that comes to mind is “YUCK!”  Or something that rhymes with yuck, that I won’t type, this being a family-centered site and all. But seriously — it’s not even snowing.  It’s SLUSHING.  And I don’t care if that’s a word or not.  [...]

Book Giveaway: See Mom Run

Posted in Family, giveaway, Humor, Husbands, Laughs, Marriage, tagged , , , on January 25, 2010 | 33 Comments »

Have you ever wondered what would happen if two hyphenated last namers got married?  Like, let’s say Harrison VonHarrison-Lundquist married Muffy Worcester-Wolfe. (All names are completely fabricated. If anyone out there has either of those names, I’m sorry…in so many ways.)  Would they name their children Maximillian and Genevieve VonHarrisonlundquist-Worcesterwolfe??? Notice the last names I’ve [...]

First of all, let me tell you: you guys like your sweets. I asked you to write a comment with your worst holiday indulgence and I think I gained ten pounds just reading them.
