I had a little coffee last night and then I couldn’t sleep so I was surfing the web. I came across a great offer at Groupon for $50 of Gap merchandise for the cost of $25 and snatched it up. This will be perfect for back-to-school shopping for the girls and I! You can visit [...]
Good food on a Budget

The other day I read a great article on The Simple Dollar. It is really in line with my thoughts on maintaining a healthy diet while maintaining a healthy wallet (or jar in our case – ha ha!) As a bonus, it has some yummy looking veggie-friendly recipes at the end of the article. Definitely [...]

A friend of mine mentioned a week or so ago that she keeps up with her blogs through Google Reader. Graeme is a fan of google and I believe the words, “It would be so cool to party in the googleplex” have actually come out of his mouth. Yes, I know. But what can I [...]

Okay, this isn’t really a “find” because it belongs to one of my bestest friends, but I thought I’d spotlight Kewt Kids today. My friend is working really hard on her business right now and I’m really proud of her. Kewt Kids features useful stuff for babies and kids – many of which have been [...]
