I love my treasures. I love a good bargain. And I love to win. So when I was asked to check out Tophatter, the new virtual bidding marketplace, it really didn’t take that long to convince me. After creating my avatar (red dress/indeterminate brown hair= spot on), I hung out in the bazaar to watch people bid. With the appearance of each newcomer, the room became crowded with avatars and bidding
Weekend Fun With Graco And The New SnugRide Click Connect 40
October 24, 2012 By 3 Comments
Seriously, this baby. If she’s not the future face of #gracosafety, then I would really like to know why. This past Saturday, I got to host a supra-awesome Graco event at the Babies R Us in Niles, IL. (For you Chicago cityfolk, it was actually only twenty minutes away from my house. Closer than the one downtown! Go figure.) The party was to unveil the new Graco SnugRide Click Connect 40, the only rear-facing car seat that grows with babies from {Read More}

N And Z Shriek At The Princess Ponies Of Pony Royale.
July 24, 2012 By 1 Comment
This post is sponsored by Pony Royale. I was selected for this opportunity as a member of Clever Girls Collective, and the content and opinions expressed here are all my own. *** I like to encourage all sorts of games and activities in my house- not just “girl-centric” ones. That said, I have a complete and utter weakness for ponies. (Just ask my husband, who’s had to move boxes of my childhood toys TWICE.) So we were extremely excited to {Read More}
Keely Pals Around With House M.D.
June 8, 2012 By Leave a Comment
“Doctor! The patient is flatlining! I shall click on her.” I’ll admit it, I get to do some pretty cool things via this blog. For instance, I get to play all sorts of new Ubisoft games, like the new House M.D.: Critical Cases. And it’s fun. Really, really, fun. It hooked up through my Facebook account and I was ready to go- once, that is, I picked out new features and accessories for my avatar. (Anyone else play Facemaker back {Read More}
The Full Catastrophe! The Nields!
May 25, 2012 By 3 Comments
Katryna and Nerissa Nields have come out with a new album. For anyone who a) grew up in Western Massachusetts or b) loves good folk music, this is terribly exciting. I fall into both of these categories. The Nields were big on the coffeehouse/Lilith Fair circuit when I was an impressionable high-schooler and, now that I’m a impressionable mother of two, they’ve come out with The Full Catastrophe, their ode to parenthood, marriage, and how good life continues to be. {Read More}
Keely Gets Purty. Kinda.

Thanks to Walgreens for underwriting this post. I was paid as a member of theClever Girls Collective, but the content is all mine. Visit http://www.discoverbeautywithin.com/ I kept it simple for 2012. “Consume more water,” I said to myself. “Drink some drinking water,” as Nora calls it. And while this resolution may be easily crossed off of a daily list, perhaps I need to reach a little higher in terms of beauty and wellness goals. (I mean, you all remember my failed {Read More}
