Tudor vs Tutor

February 7, 2012

Marisa was always a good student.  She never had to work hard at it (at least not that I noticed) and she never complained about her classes.  Adam had a harder time of it and at one point I contemplated getting him a tutor.  When he flat out refused the help, I didn’t bother following [...]

Clever Marzetti

December 1, 2011

I can hear most of you now.  Veggie Dip?  Yeah right Adrienne, you expect us to believe that you ate veggie dip?  Yes, yes I do.  Of course I don’t expect you to believe that I ate ALL of it or even more than a taste, but I will never write a review of something [...]

The Muppets!

November 23, 2011

I remember the Muppets from when I was a kid.  My cousin would do a great impression of a Muppet laugh, just that simple open mouth head bobbing no actual sound coming out laugh. The Muppet show ran through my teenage years and was akin to the Smurfs in their cult following.  But for years [...]

Dinosaur Train Costumes

October 19, 2011

The wonderful people at Dinosaur Train asked me if I wanted to review a Halloween costume of a character from their show.  I meekly asked if I could have two (one for each twin) and was elated that they said yes.

SLS Hotel and Ciel Spa

September 25, 2011

I had my first experience with the SLS Hotel a few weeks ago when I went to the Yoplait Swap event.  I enjoyed a lovely lunch and a rather warm event outside on a beautiful terrace.  So I didn’t actually get to see much of the hotel itself. Today, I went back for an event [...]

In the press release it states “Jake and the Never Land Pirates is cable’s #1 series among boy’s 2-5″.  Guess what Disney Jr. it is pretty popular with the girls as well! Madilyn will tell you that a pirate says Arrrrr while covering one of her eyes with her hand. Jake and the Never Land [...]
