Mother’s Day proves to be the one day where we Moms can count on being pampered—that includes having someone else cook for us. From tarts and cupcakes to glazed cookies and fudge brownies, surprise Mom this Mother’s Day with fresh baked goods from Rosie’s Bakery. These sweets will not only satisfy her sweet tooth—they also look beautiful.
A favorite of ours here at Mom Central, Rosie’s Bakery never disappoints. We loved the Snow Queen Cupcake that boasted a delicious butter cream frosting and a decadent raspberry center. For those of us who love chocolate, the Fudge Swirl Brownies proved too tempting to resist—and were instantly gratifying.

In the mornings, we often find ourselves rushing out the door—only to notice our growling stomachs on the way out. From oatmeal and granola, to fluffy pancake mixes, Bunnery Natural Foods offers up some pretty satiating morning treats. Hailing from Jackson, Wyoming and boasting flavors like Banana Honey-Nut, Cranberry Nut-Vanilla, and Wild Blueberry Pancake and Waffle Mix, your morning routine just got a whole lot tastier. Crunchy and packed with great ingredients, Bunnery’s Natural breakfast selections fuel the morning.
We tested these delicious granolas and found that the Banana Honey-Nut was just a tad sweet and had notes of coconut. It was a delicious additive to our yogurts and tasted equally as great as an afternoon snack on it’s own.
Try the Bunnery’s recipe banana bread using Bunnery Banana Honey-Nut Granola. A great recipe to whip up for mom on Mother’s Day!

For Moms with picky eaters, housing a stash of pasta boxes proves to be the only way you’ll make it through dinner each night. For palate-compromised family members who squeal at the site of steak or wince at the smell of vegetables, noodles often prove to be the only option—but they needn’t be boring.

Mom Central received a necklace from Figs & Ginger in order to facilitate this review. The views expressed here are entirely our own.
As Mother’s Day rolls around each year, we Moms often find that simple is best when it comes to a day that celebrates you—a homemade card, a noodle necklace, or breakfast in bed! But often, we are presented by thoughtful purchased gifts from our loved ones. A perfect gift for Mom (or for Moms to request!), Figs & Ginger helps create a memorable Mother’s Day through their creative and thoughtful line of jewelry.
With necklaces that display a “Momma” and her “Chicks,” to pendant necklaces that represent a mother’s love—Figs & Ginger lets you personalize and customize for a well-deserved gift.

Stacy DeBroff serves as a spokesperson for Busch Gardens and received complimentary airfare, accommodations, and meals to facilitate this review and post.
At the tail end of the longest winter in memory, I found an escape hatch – traveling to the Busch Gardens theme parks in Tampa, Florida, and Williamsburg, Virginia. As New England battled not one, but two, late-season snowstorms, my trip to Busch Gardens revived my spirits, provided a much-needed glimpse of sun and natural beauty, and generated lots of enthusiasm for the summer to come.
I’ve recently become a spokesperson for Busch Gardens, so this trip initially offered a chance to explore the parks and see the latest attractions. But for me, it also felt like a trip home. I lived in the D.C. area during law school, and made more than one journey to Williamsburg to de-stress and feed my need for speed on the roller coasters. Moreover, as my now-college-age-kids grew up, our family made many visits to Tampa to soak up the Florida sun and let our kids create their own memories throughout the park.

The old saying “style isn’t comfort” is exactly that – old. Aerosoles has found a way to bridge the gap between style and comfort so that we can enjoy the perks of looking great without punishing our feet. Mom Central had the chance to preview the new Fall styles from Aerosoles and loved what we saw! Here are a few highlights and why we love the collection, which will be debuting in late summer.
AerGO technology - The most exciting feature about the 2013 Fall collection is the new AerGO technocology. The AerGO sole provides us with a lightweight shoe that is not only flexible (no break-in time required!) but also offers shock absorption and extra cushioned insoles for added comfort. We could not believe how light these shoes were! Wearing them must feel like walking on air.

Mom Central received a “Rosie” doll in order to facilitate this review. The views expressed here are entirely our own.
Having experienced hand-crafted doll houses designed by their grandfather as children, sisters Lori Schoeneman and Tara Schoeneman-Brown were disappointed by today’s plastic dollhouses that seemed to lack charm and appeal. Knowing that children’s imaginations flourish in environments that cater to their curiosity, playfulness, and creativity, the sisters created Once Upon a TreeHouse, a company devoted to creating beautiful handcrafted dollhouses and accessories.
Once Upon a TreeHouse offers up unique children’s dollhouses and accessories. Made from CARB-certified plywood harvested from sustainable forests and other all natural materials—these dollhouses prove durable and eco-friendly. With intricate details like a swinging front door, spiral staircase, and three floors of play—these whimsical structures provide a unique environment for imagination to thrive.
