There is nothing I love more than finding a fabulous new website/blog to read….especially if it has good information and is a productive use of my precious little time. The Gracious Pantryis the newest blog in my repertoire. I recently completed 65 days of the Candida Diet (in two parts). I did it because I had [...]
Anthony DeStefano contacted me about reviewing his new book, This Little Prayer of Mine. I was thrilled to receive it and even more so to read it. The book is a precious rhyme with touching illustrations throughout. As soon as I received it, I read it to my two older boys, ages 6 and 3. [...]
The nice people at Skin MD Naturalcontacted me in the Fall to try their new Shielding Lotion. I consider myself to be a connoisseur of lotion. I can’t stand to have dry hands and not all lotions are the same, as my husband might believe. Skin MD Natural boasts of a new concept in the [...]
My Storytime Friends is a great gift for the little kids in your life. When you buy a Storytime Friend, you buy a box with a storybook and a stuffed Gary Beary. Each box comes with a special ID to register on-line. Once you register on-line, you have access to various pages like The Library, [...]
I have always been an admirer of the Orient Expressed children’s clothes. It happens quite often that I see a cute sweater or outfit and I look for the tag to find that it is Orient Expressed. When they contacted me to review their clothing, I jumped at the opportunity. Orient Expressed is a New Orleans-based children’s [...]
Oh. My. Word. A little piece, or should I say pieces, of Heaven showed up on my doorstep last week. A charming little chocolate boutique in New Orleans called “Sucre” contacted me to taste-test their chocolates. Who says, “No” to chocolate? Not me! To say it was a “treat” would be an understatement. When I put [...]
Spa Lux, in Tulsa, Oklahoma, contacted Penelope’s Pitstop for a FREE 30 Minute Massage in order for us to review their awesome spa. I sent my sister, Wynne, to Spa Lux for a much-needed massage. This is what she had to say… Thank you to Cynthia, one of the owners of Spa Lux in Tulsa [...]
I can’t tell you how excited I was to receive the new and just “Out-of-the-vault” Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. Not only was I excited to watch Snow White, but this time in Blu-ray! (Preview here!) I am certain Walt and his men would fall out of their chairs if they were to see how [...]
I found this wonderful store last year, again, at The Nutcracker Market. The Pineapple Cove Baby had such nice and high quality baby gifts, I was very impressed. The Pineapple Cove Baby has a collection including a Toddler Changing Pad, Infant Changing Pad, Diaper Wallet, and Organic Teething Blankets. Each item comes with a beautiful choice of [...]
Oh, friends! You must check out Nelle & Lizzy’s fabulous jewelry. I first saw them at The Nutcracker Market in Houston last year. Not a week later, a friend told me about them and said that I must blog on them! When I saw them at the market, I was barely able to reach the booth [...]
