Registry Round Up: Which Baby Shoes Did I Pick For My Registry?
Is there anything cuter than a pair of newborn baby shoes? I think not. Maybe it's the fact that they are completely useless (babies can't walk!) and therefor utterly ridiculous and silly; maybe it's the fact that they look like they're straight out of the "Honey I...

Registry Round Up: Which Mobile Did I Pick For My Baby Registry?
Okay, so this is where it gets fun. Selecting a high chair and a bassinet for my registry was definitely cute, but those items are more perfunctory. A mobile is pure, unadulterated whimsy, floating down from the ceiling. Each one is cuter than the next. Some are more...

Registry Round Up: Which Bassinet Did I Pick for My Baby Registry?
Okay, forgive me, but I am new to this whole baby gear market. And why didn't anyone tell me that simply going online to try and pick out a bassinet would be a time-sucking rabbit hole of an undertaking? Do I want rocking or not? Wooden or rattan? Modern or vintage?...

BTS Pioneer Woman
To say that I had a fun time filming A Very Brady Special with The Pioneer Woman host, Ree Drummond, is an understatement of far-out proportions. This lady is fun, funny, and dude, she can COOK! I might have been fan-girling just a little bit (okay, maybe a lot),...
