I remember searching the net reading reviews after review then heading into the stores to actually test out and see the seats in person. In my eyes the car seat is one of the most important purchases I was going to make and I wanted to make sure it was the best possible seat I could find. It is crazy to see how things have changed in the last 8 years. I was able to review the … [Read more...]

I spent the afternoon showering, doing my hair and applying makeup - I was getting ready for a much anticipated night out. On my way out the door I give my husband a kiss.

As I was boiling a pot of coconut milk and cinnamon on the stove yesterday, my son wandered into the room with his nose in the air, taking in deep breathes. "It smells like Jamaica, Mom" was his response, and he wasn't far off. The warm, creamy, spicy coconut concoction brought back memories of our recent family vacation to the tropics and was hard to resist. But Coconuts are more than just a fun treat on the beach; they are one of nature's true superfoods! Referred to as the planet's most … [Read more...]
