New spin on juice boxes is a healthy treat for kids. Give my niece a juice box and I can guarantee three things: 50 percent of the juice will end up on her shirt, 25 percent will end up on the floor, and the remaining amount will end up on me. Oh what I’d do for a no mess juice box that that can hold its own against a tiny three foot tall active tot. Enter the Tummy Tickler, a
Ahh shoes!
Another Saturday meant it was time to surround myself with a few of my favorite things. With a 20 percent off coupon in hand I headed to my favorite shoe store to engage in some serious retail therapy. Spring was in full bloom at Off Broadway Shoes.
