Disney Junior Mickey Mouse Clubhouse :: Minnie’s Pet Salon
MICKEY MOUSE CLUBHOUSE: MINNIE’S PET SALON Minnie’s sparkling new Pet Salon is open for business…and adventure! When my daughter was little we use to watch the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse all the time! I can still remember their little songs and catch myself humming it sometimes! Minnie is adorable (what’s not to like about her?) and good news – she has a new show out! All our favorite Clubhouse pals are bringing their animal friends to get spruced up for Pluto’s All-Star Pet Show. With so many pets to bathe, groom and train, Minnie needs help.

The Hyatt Regency Scottsdale Resort & Spa is Fun for the Whole Family!
At the end of April I attended the Mom 2.0 Summit in Scottsdale, Arizona. I stayed at the Hyatt Scottsdale Resort & Spa at Gainey Ranch and absolutely fell in love with all the unique sites and fun activities they offer families. I plan to come back with my family as I know my daughter would go crazy for their large waterslide! After driving a good 5 hours it was nice to be welcomed so warmly by the staff at The Hyatt Scottsdale. Walking into the front lobby was quite breathtaking as it overlooked the courtyard and you could see the gorgeous desert mountains. There are over 493 rooms at the…

My daughter gets very excited when I ask her on a Saturday or Sunday morning if she wants pancakes for breakfast. I really like the Multigrain recipe I found in Kitchen Sense by Mitchell Davis but this morning I thought I’d try the buttermilk recipe.

These pancakes are really tasty as is, but you can add in some chocolate chips, blueberries, banana slices or even some nuts. I think some chopped walnuts would taste great with…

Health :: Tips for a Restful and Restorative Sleep
Image courtesy of BettaLiving.UK Tips for a Restful and Restorative Sleep There are many physiological things that occur in order for sleep to happen and I find that once people understand body mechanisms, when explained simply, allow a deeper understanding and compliance. We will first begin in the pineal gland. Sleep Physiology Located near the center of the brain, a tiny pine shape endocrine ( hormone) gland resides. This gland is called the pineal gland and it spends some of its time releasing a hormone called melatonin. This hormone affects the modulation of wake-sleep patterns. Basically this gland is involved in the regulation of melatonin synthesis which…
