Be Hip. Be Cool. BeLight!

By Jo-Lynne on July 31, 2008.

Ju-Ju-Be, known for combining boutique fashion with smart function, is introducing two new summer bags — the BeLight and the WannaBe.  I got a BeLight to review, and this is one smart diaper bag.  For one thing, it doesn’t LOOK like a diaper bag.  Because really, WHO wants to look like they’re toting around diapers [...]

Mom Agenda

By Jo-Lynne on July 29, 2008.

I remember when I was in college, I could keep track of all of my commitments in my head.  I didn’t keep a calendar, and I rarely wrote anything down.  My schedule wasn’t even predictable, what with classes changing every semester and the babysitting I did to earn spending money.  I just had a way [...]

This giveaway is closed.  And the winner is Aimee!  Congratulations, Aimee, and thanks to Butterflies and Lollipops for sponsoring this giveaway.
If your girls are anything like mine, they love hair accessories.  I can’t walk through Kohl’s without my 5-year-old begging for every barrette and headband in sight.  But most are pretty much, well, CRAP.  You [...]

The Sak

By Jo-Lynne on July 14, 2008.

Ever wonder what handbags the stars are carrying?  Miley Cyrus was seen twice last week, carrying this gorgeous leather satchel by The Sak.

Here she is again.  What’s up with the peace sign, anyway?

Hmm…  I’ve been wanting a nice brown handbag. (Can you believe I don’t have a one?  Will wonders never cease?) 

 

The JJ

By Jo-Lynne on July 11, 2008.

I read about The JJ on Boomama’s site a few weeks ago, and I just KNEW I would love it.  And I knew my faithful readers would too.  So I immediately jotted out an email to Janie, asking if she was interested in sponsoring a giveaway.  Which she is.  AND because she’s extra especially nice, [...]

Brown-Eyed Girl

By Jo-Lynne on July 1, 2008.

For many years, my favorite song was Brown Eyed Girl by Van Morrison. I used to dream of a guy serenading me with this song. Whenever the song was played, I had to dance to it, even though I am usually too inhibited to dance in public.  (At least, I used to be, until I [...]
