BornFree Pacifier and Drinking Cup – Review

BornFree

Binkys, pacis, pacifiers. Whatever you call it – some families love them and some hate them. We fall into the love them group. My oldest, Mackenzie, came home from the hospital sucking on my finger the whole way out of the hospital and the ride home. We popped a binky in and she was hooked. [...]

Bowdabra Hair Bow Tool Kit – Review

Hair Bows

I consider myself a fairly “crafty” person. I can paint and sew. I can fix and mend things. I like to scrapbook when I have time. One thing I can not do properly is tie bows. I get by with some curling ribbon and scissors, but if you ask me to tie a fancy bow, I would produce [...]

Hypercolor Shirts Are Back with Quagmire ColorFusion

ColorFusion Hypercolor Shirt

Remember my post about My Best Fish Friend and my sentiments about older and classic toys being “upgraded and improved” for us to enjoy new versions with our kids? Well the new Quagmire ColorFusion shirts we received in the mail are just that! Back in the day, I admit that I rocked a Hypercolor shirt. Remember [...]

Stretch Island Fruit Strips – Review

Stretch Island

Stretch Island Fruit Company sent us several all-natural fruit strips to taste! My kids occassionally get to indulge in fruit snacks… and I know they are more of a candy treat than a healthy one, so this consideration goes into deciding when they can have them. Luckily, Stretch Island Fruit strips are 99% real fruit [...]

Crayola Prize Pack Giveaway – CLOSED

Crayola Logo

Kora & Logan love anything artistic. They color, draw, & cut every day. Coloring books, paper, crayons, and markers were at the top of their Christmas list this year. I know they didn’t get their talents or love for art from me, but I do enjoy encouraging it. That’s why when I came across Crayola’s [...]

HappyBaby Holiday Entrees

Organic Baby Food

Now that we are in the midst of holiday season, we’ve had our share of holiday dinners with the family. Turkey and ham with all the fixings have filled our plates more than once. Emma loves to eat and has been a little sad to be left out of all the goodies the rest of [...]

Enjoying Christmas Vacation

Christmas Cookies Eaten

We had a wonderful Christmas here. Kora & Logan had so much fun opening gifts, giving gifts, and hanging out with family. We all had a really nice time over the last couple of days and even though it was so much fun, it was tiring too! So we here at 2 Wired 2 Tired [...]

I’ve been hearing a really impressive and funny rendition of the 12 Days of Christmas by the a cappella group, Straight No Chaser. It’s actually become one of Kora & Logan’s favorite Christmas songs. I looked it up on YouTube to find the video has nearly 13 million views! I also came across the group [...]

Red Toolbox – Woodworking for Kids

Tools for Kids

I don’t believe in gender stereotyped toys for my 2 little girls. For my oldest’s first Christmas, Santa brought her race cars and a baby doll. For her second Christmas, she got a toolbox and play trucks in addition to “girl” toys and her toolbox has been one of her favorite toys ever since. My [...]

Yankee Candle QuickScent Review

Yankee Candle

I have been a big fan of Yankee Candle products for a long time. The scents are heavenly and the big jar candles last forever. I used to work in an office where I would see families and children and I kept the Clean Cotton jar candle open and unlit to keep my office smelling [...]

Bread Pudding – 2 Recipes

Bread Pudding

Between the four of us in our house, you’d think one of us would like the heels of bread. But no one does. Sometimes I can make grilled cheese with them with the crust-sides in and the kids don’t mind, however most of the time we just toss them. One day it seemed to me [...]

Simply by [...]

Venettini Footwear – Luxury Shoes for Kids

Venettini Luxury Shoes for Kids

Every year right before Christmas, I always find myself out shoe shopping for Kora. Finding her good dress shoes for a decent price is tough. The past three years she has worn the same pair of black, sparkley shoes (in different sizes) from Target because I haven’t been able to find anything just as cute. [...]

Merry Christmas, Olivia DVD & Olivia Claus Book – Reviews

Merry Christmas Olivia

Kora and Logan love the kids show “Olivia.” Each animated episode is about a 6 3/4 years-old adorable piglet named, Olivia, who  has a big imagination and believes she can be or do anything. She is very good at taking every day events and turning them into adventures that involve her little brother, Ian, her [...]

KIDZ BOP Christmas Party – Review

My two daughters love to sing and dance. Last year for Christmas Santa brought them their own CD Players and we are always on the lookout for great kids music that they’ll love. This holiday season I’ve been playing a lot of Christmas music around the house and they’ve really enjoyed it. So when I [...]
