My daughter Riley is always on the go!  If she's not playing in the backyard or monkeying around at the neighborhood park, she's off on a bug, leaf or other nature-related excursion.  Because of her constant explorations, Riley is naturally hard on her shoes.

When buying footwear for her, I always look for comfort, rugged durability and of course, cuteness!  Bailey Berry brand is the culmination of a two year mission to create the perfect kids' shoes. Bailey Berry is inspired by the vibrant environments of Manhattan, the Hamptons and the Adirondacks.  Not wanting to sacrifice fashion for function, BB Stars kids' shoes are fun and built to the highest quality standards.

Are you frustrated by your children's love of video games?  Do they spend countless hours "wasting time" when there's so many other worthwhile activities they could be doing?  If you have a child ages 6 to 12 years old, then please listen up.

I recently came across a magnificent program that draws from science, technology, nutrition and exercise to create a fun and interactive way for your child to improve their focus and attention.  It's called ifocus and is a scientific approach to improving your child's cognitive skills and development.

So is it really possible to give your child an "educated" video game which will not only challenge them for a few months, but can actually continuously challenge them for years?  Keep reading to find out!

When I was a kid, it was my dream each Christmas Eve to finally catch Santa Claus in the act!  I was a believer at the time, but I had already begun to hear the whisperings from older children (and adults who didn't think I was listening) that Santa was a myth.

Personally, I couldn't believe those rumors to be true and would always do my best to finally meet the Big Guy face-to-face in my very own home.  If you have a child that yearns to catch Santa in the act, be sure that this toy is safely under lock and key or YOU may be the ones caught...on tape!

I can still vaguely remember how hard it was growing up as a toddler and preschooler.  Everything in our home was built for grown-ups, making me just a LITTLE too short to see myself in the mirror, turn on the water faucet, light switch, or just about a hundred other daily tasks.

A determined child needs a high-quality step stool to help level the playing field and allow them to reach new heights of independence (and new heights, in general.)  Artistic Sensations prides themselves on creating high-quality, functional furniture guaranteed to stand the test of time.  Keep reading to learn more about the personalized puzzle step stool I reviewed!

Being a first time mommy, I love anything and everything that reminds me of my daughter, Riley, and the wonderful change that has happened in my life since becoming a mom.  I've long been a fan of photo jewelry and would love to have one commemorating my journey into motherhood, but unfortunately, I have never taken the time to actually put any pictures inside one.  Isn't that terrible?!

Thankfully, PicturesOnGold.com has a myriad of photo pendants available and ready for customization.  They even take care to inscribe your most precious photo on your jewelry selection using color laser engraving!  I had the chance to customize one of their photo lockets and if you're the lucky winner of this giveaway, you will too.
