Who would like a little Creme Bruleé a la Tutti Dolci?

I know…I know…it’s been a while. But, let me make it up to you. I have a couple coming, just be patient.

Chicco C5 Stroller

I was looking for a stroller that I could carry in the car for those emergency times – when you want to walk around the mall and your 5-year-old gets bored and doesn’t want to walk. He is naturally too big for the strollers that you can rent, I haven’t found an umbrella stroller […]

Great Recipe Ideas

I’m a huge fan of the Food Network, love trying new recipes and always shopping for cookbooks. I was in the bookstore the other day and came across Everyday Food. It advertised that it was your guide to fast, great meals - a plus for a working mom, and there is a connection […]

Very Refreshing Twist on Water

I was in my Super Target the other day and noticed that they have also started selling their own brand of flavored waters, Archer Farms. Now this might not be new to some of you - but I don’t get out much - so I was intrigued and had to buy a four-pack. […]

Medela Quick Clean Bags

Cleaning bottle parts and nipples is a pain for sure, but sterilizing them is made easy with the Medela Quick Clean bags. You just toss the nipples, rings, breast pump parts, small bottles, then add 2 ounces of water, zip the bag up and zap in your microwave for 3 minutes. There’s a convenient “spout” […]

Breast milk storage bags

I’ve tried a variety of different breast milk freezer storage bags and like the Lansinoh Storage Bags the best. The plastic is thick, you can write on them with ease, the ink doesn’t smear and they have a double zipper at the top for added “spillproofness.” By far, the Lansinoh bags are the best. They […]

Protein Bars that Taste Great

I have been looking for a protein bar that actually has flavor and is not like chewing on cardboard. So I was at Vitamin World and came across these bars - CarbWise Coconut Caramel Crisp. They were on sale so I thought why not. I really need something to help with those […]
