The Wii has created a whirlwind of entertainment, however, something I’ve learned, we all need a little more room! See… we have a good size living room, however for five people to do yoga; it makes it seem very small with the couches in the way. Now, what if we could get rid of the couches, just ...

How do you fit a hug in a lunch box?
2008-08-18 08:27:00
I’m a big fan of slipping encouraging notes and love letters in my kid’s lunch boxes. And if they can’t read, I draw a picture. I had no idea how much my kids liked getting the notes until I found them in a special container under their bunk bed. KidsLunch BoxCards are a super-fun alternative to the ...

Fab Finds Friday
2008-06-06 14:00:00
I have the most amazing diaper bag ever to tell you guys about. When I saw the bags from Rowdy Products I completely fell in love! I can not even begin to tell you how many compliments I get on my diaper bag, in fact all of my friends tell me that they would buy it just for themselves as a purse and not a diaper bag. I got the The Sophisticate Bowler in White. The bag comes with a changing pad and a bottle holder. What is great about the bottle holder is it is insulated so it keeps drinks hot or cold. I like that I can keep it right where the zipper is, so when I unzip the bag I can grad Sarah’s cup easily from the bottle holder. I also love that it has lots of little pockets and dividers. I love to keep my bag organized and this is one of the few bags that lets me do just that. Each bag also has a small clutch purse that attaches to the outside, if you don’t want to take your purse, you can store all of your stuff in it, and it is easy to detach from the diaper bag. I j...

Does age really matter?
2008-06-05 18:10:00
Obviously not in Hollywood. Here are the facts. Billy Joel is 59 years old and is married to his bride Katie Lee 27 years old. Wow it is almost like he could be her father. They have been married now for three years and Billy says age doesn’t matter if she would have been 30 years older he would still have married her, when it works it just works. I don’t know about that, I think instead of going out and buying a cool new car, he got himself a cool new gal. The next victim is Ashley Madison, 22 years old. She is married to freaky James Woods at 61 years of age. Ashley is almost 40 years his junior. We all know he has a history of dating younger women but this just leaves a bad taste in my mouth. James says she takes care of everything, oh yeah, I bet she does. I am sure she can do circles around him. Who is next? Sexy Kim Cattrall from Sex and the City. This should not be shocking as we know Kim loves men…any size, any color, any shape, and obviously any age. Kim is...

Thrifty Thursday
2008-06-05 10:49:00
When we were in Texas, we went to visit a friend and they had tons of toy dinosaurs. Tucker was in heaven! I really never thought to look for or get him dinosaurs before. Well, hubby found some for us and we went to get them yesterday. Tucker picked out one of EACH of the dinosaurs since they were such a good price. Ready? 88 cents each from Wal-Mart! WOOHOO! We have something other than cars to play with now! We stocked up on them! We already had this amazingly FUN rug at IKEA for only $9.00! And yes, that is Diego on the 4 wheeler chasing after the dinosaurs. What a hero Diego is. LOL! ~Tanya Gordon Lipstick to Crayons contributing writer Copyright © 2008 Lipstick to Crayons.

Corey’s in the house GIVEAWAY
2008-06-02 23:17:00
Disney has recently released Cory In The House : Newt & Improved Edition on DVD. Cory In The House is a spin-off from “That So Raven” which happens to be one of my favorite Disney sitcoms. Cory is Raven’s brother and is living in the White House with his dad who has a chef gig for the president while Raven and their mom are off doing their own thing. Corey In The House is a laugh out loud sitcom with outrageous slapstick and my kids love it. I get a kick out of the dad who is played by Rondell Sheridan. The DVD consists of three previously aired episodes and one never seen. My kids especially liked the bonus feature “Breakin’ Down ‘Cory in the House’” which is a behind-the-scenes look at the making of “Peace, Love And Misunderstanding”.~Kristie We are giving away a copy of the Disney’s recently released Cory In The House: Newt & Improved DVD to two lucky winners.

If I could just go back in time the Minutemen way GIVEAWAY!
2008-06-01 16:51:00
Have you ever wished you could go back in time and “re-do” an embarrassing moment? That is exactly what the characters do in Disney’s latest DVD release, Minutemen. Three teen boys figure out how to time travel with a combination of ordinary objects including computers, a microwave, a slide projector, and a diving board. Within a ten minute window the boys can fix their mistakes of the recent past before returning to the present. Of course their time traveling escapades aren’t without issues and each time travel puts a tear in space and a near end to the world. Predictably there is a love triangle and plenty of stereotyping and bullying of high school students that all works out in the end. Overall Minutemen is a very entertaining flick. My kids watch it over and over and I have not minded watching it a few times myself. My husband even watched the movie to the end after our kids fell asleep after the bazillionth time watching. ~Kristie We are giving away a ...
