I was so excited to hear about the clek olli™ booster seat…it is a backless booster that uses the LATCH system. Sadly, Nathan doesn’t weigh enough yet to use it. So, I relied on my friend Tanya to get her boys to try it for me. She put it in her car one...

I get a little overwhelmed at the make-up counter. Don’t get me wrong – I love products, but I occasionally get thrown off by too many choices. I recently spent a few hours at the Trish McEvoy counter and left with a few good eye shadows. However, I could...

It is not very environmentally friendly of me, but I have a “germ thing” and use papertowels to open door handles. I don’t want to touch the dirty handle with my clean hands. The Handler is a little dorky, but no more so than going out of my way to...
