KINesys Sunscreen has you covered!

Hanging out at the pool, riding bikes, running through the sprinklers and picnicing in the park… There’s lots to do in during a St. Louis summer. But one thing you shouldn’t go without? Sunscreen.

I despise applying lotions to my little wiggle worm. He’s not real fond of it either. So when asked to try KINeSYS sunscreens? Well I was all ovah dat! KINeSYS is a leader in performance sunscreens.

[30 Jun 2009 | Comments Off | 271 views]

We’ve found a few websites recently that caught our interest and we wanted to share.

For those of you in the mood for silly, check out a recently launched site called, Let’s Panic. According to the site “LET’S PANIC ABOUT BABIES! is here to provide pseudo-scientific information and hearty reassurance during this strange, swollen time in a woman’s life. No more must a woman search for answers in “blogs” or the mystical pronouncements of radio psychics.”

Study Shows Quality of Marriage is Related to Quality of Sleep
[30 Jun 2009 | Comments Off | 518 views]

The study also revealed that women who had ‘gained’ a partner during the eight years of the study reported a better sleep than women who were unmarried or who had lost a …

According to tech leader PCMag.com, the best ones aren’t always the ones that are top rated on iTunes.

Crest whitening strips brighten smiles

Crest whitening strips brighten smiles

Before the advent of Crest’s whitening products, I used bleaching trays. At one point, I got a chemical burn on my gums. (NOT fun. My gums were very tender and turned purple.) So when the strips came out, I was more than happy to give them a try.

Blogger of the Week – Kelli

Kelli began blogging about 18 months ago. Like many other moms who blog, she craved a creative outlet and found blogging to be the perfect way to express herself. Plus, she wanted to capture those memories she was worried she’d lose in the haziness of sleep deprivation…
