Temperatures Rising
Posted by Rachel Balducci in Family on Wednesday, November 18, 2009
I hope everyone in your household is healthy right now, but if they aren’t here’s a little product I want to share with you:
The Vicks SpeedRead Thermometer. A friend of mine mentioned (with glee) that she had recently discovered this thermometer and it was amazing because a) it was FAST! and b) it lit up in corresponding colors: red = hot, green = not.
I had been using a very old thermometer that took sooooo long to read a temp. The next morning, when two of my boys woke up with fevers, I decided to treat myself to this thermometer. I am so glad I did. Now I’m taking everyone’s temps left and right—it’s so fast, even two-year-old Henry can tolerate an under-the-tongue reading.
Two words: I recommend!

Henry got this very cute truck for his birthday this summer, and when we were out playing in the yard today I thought “I need to tell somebody how great this thing is!”
Dear reader, this thing is great!
The toy is called the Sprig Toys Hollow DuneBug’s Sand Truck Playset
I recommend putting this on your favorite toddler’s Christmas list. Two thumbs up!
Tote Couture
Posted by Rachel Balducci in Family on Thursday, June 18, 2009
For years, I would eye longingly those classic tote bags when my L.L. Bean catalog came in the mail. I’d give long and serious thought to buying one, and for whatever reason I never did. I’d notice people who had the totes, note that the bag seemed useful and classic—and then promptly do nothing about getting one.
What put a stop to this behavior was my frustration with having a whole host of other... READ MORE

At the bookstore recently, I came across this book
I’m sure you’ve heard of Ms. Brown’s most famous offering, Goodnight Moon
How delightful! Bunny’s Noisy Book
I highly recommend you pick this up for all the sweet little babies in your world. I’m so glad I stumbled upon it.
Popcorn!
Posted by Rachel Balducci in Reviews on Monday, August 25, 2008
A few months ago, I noticed two things – one, that microwavable popcorn was always on my grocery list, and two, that microwavable popcorn isn’t cheap.
So I started doing a little research and decided we’d start popping corn on our own. I was so pleased to buy the five-dollar bag of kernels that I was confident I’d left the world of nuked popcorn behind. We would now have unlimited bowls of popcorn,... READ MORE
Safe Sippies
Posted by Rachel Balducci in Reviews on Friday, July 11, 2008
Have you gotten caught up in the latest BPA/leaching frenzy? I kind of did—meaning, I did not get rid of all my plastic, but I did seize the opportunity to try something new.
The truth is, I was in the market for a new sippy cup. The news about moving away from certain kinds of plastics came right around the time I was moving Henry towards drinking out of a cup. I did some research and asked friends... READ MORE

I’d like to give a brief shout-out to the much-appreciated birthday gift my husband got me this year – a pair of these amazing shoes: Chacos sandals!
I know, I know. Can shoes really be that amazing? Yes, they CAN.
I love these shoes for a variety of reasons, but since I’m guessing a good number of you may already have a glazed over look from these first few sentences, I’ll keep this brief.
Here goes:... READ MORE
