Where Did You Find That?

I'm a researcher. In graduate school my research paper was on critical thinking and that, I feel, was when it all began. Although, having said that, my mom would probably challenge this, arguing that from the moment I could talk I have been asking "why?". Today, as a mother of two, sole buyer of goods and services for our home, family vacation planner, bill payer, active member of our church, chairman of the preschool board, and the list goes on...I see the importance of getting the best for your hard earned dollar. Needless to say, with all of these hats it is important to make life run as efficiently as possible and I like to find the tools to do just that.

Before I buy anything (and I mean anything) I pick through online reviews. When my family members have an ailment I wade through medical journals to learn more. I've been known to say "I'll look into that" and I mean it. After we had our first child my husband stated countless times "We use everything that we registered for...and it is all great stuff!". Coincidence? I think not. I just smile and nod. From family members and friends I often hear "Where did you find that?" and "You think of everything!". The ultimate compliment is going into a friend's house only to see that the handy little find I was just gushing about at girls night is now a part of their home.

So, after a lot of urging from the above mentioned friends and family, here you go. I created this blog to share my finds with all of you moms and dads who need a gift idea, a handy gadget to make your world run smoothly, a workout video that actually works, a toy that really rocks. I will spotlight one of my household favorites each day so you and the rest of the world can see what is 'around her house'!

FIRST SPOTLIGHT TO DEBUT ON SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 24th!
