March 2008

If you’re like me you’ll drink diet coke in front of your kids but forbid them from ever having a sip because of the aspartame/ caffeine/ carbonation. I’m not a big fan of a lot of juice boxes marketed to kids either because the #1 ingredient is almost always sugar, {and heaven knows P gets more than enough of that at school}. What’s the solution for kids who are thirsty for something other than plain old H2O, especially as the warmer months are now upon us? Nui Water.

{$16.99/case of 12}.


Nui is ONLY fruit juice sweetened {with sugar levels similar to milk}, with multi-vitamins, fiber, one full cup of caffeine-free green tea + 9 fruits, calcium, and electrolytes with less than 1% sodium in every bottle.” It’s delicious, my kids love it, and 50% of the profits are donated to charity. You can buy it online here, or find it locally here. Pick some up before the soccer season starts in earnest; I highly recommend it.

organized home.

by Allison on March 30, 2008 in great finds, organization · 2 comments



One of the things I love so much about Spring is a fresh start of cleaning and organizing, {well not so much the cleaning part, but definitely the organizing}. I love purging all the odds and ends acquired over the Fall & Winter and getting ready for Summertime garage sales. I’ve been cleaning out the house one closet and room at a time, squirreling all the superfluous goods found into a small corner of the garage. And when the time is right I’ll have at least two or three garage sales; P will man her own lemonade stand
{she always pockets around $20} C will drink/spill/waste half of P’s lemonade, and I will get rid of a huge chunk of clutter.

Organized Home {a great site full of tips and tricks to aid in household organization} has a yard sale checklist & invaluable tips about getting ready to hold one of your own.

Don’t feel like you have to do it all on your own; Organized Home has compiled a Spring Cleaning Chore Checklist as well as 5 Tips For Spring Cleaning With Your Kids. So print them out and share them with your kids; I’m sure they’ll be delighted.

handmade craft aprons for kids.

by Allison on March 28, 2008 in Baby and Kids, Style · 2 comments


These ultra cute aprons have been a lifesaver for me & at only $12 it’s worth snatching up a few {these are GREAT gifts for showers, birthdays, and Christmas}. I’ve used mine for mealtime, playtime, and messy craft projects. Each apron is custom made, so you can choose from a selection of absolutely darling fabrics for your child. They’re 100% cotton so you can throw the aprons in the wash as often as you need to. Think of all the melted Popsicle messes you can salvage with some of these on hand…


little b aprons.
$12 each.

cute tween clothing for your daughter.

by Allison March 26, 2008Baby and Kids

As a mother of an official “tween” I find it very hard to find clothing for my 8-year-old P. I feel like my options are either Gymboree {which I love, but has officially been declared too “babyish”} or clothing along the lines of Mary Kate & Ashley Olsen. I’m not too thrilled with dressing P [...]
