My favorite mom saying won!

I couldn't believe when I received the email fromLeTop.  It said, "Congratulations on your recent win on your favorite mom sayings"  I was so excited! It was a secret Twitter - only contest and I decided to enter just for the fun of it.  I sent them what I usually say to my family.  I had no idea I would win although I was hoping to. I was so glad I entered. It all started several years ago when my son couldn't find something in the refrigerator.  I forgot what it was but I know it was … [Read more...]

Suddenly, a tiny yet beautiful fairy appeared on their table. She said, "For being such an exemplary married couple and for being loving to each other for all this time, I will grant you each … [Read more...]

EA SPORTS Active Event in NYC

I hope everyone had a great Memorial Day weekend.  I had a nice, kind-of relaxing weekend.  I spent all weekend cleaning, organizing, fixing and moving furniture (hubby did the moving but I supervised, lol).

Coffee IS good for you! Drink up!

When I heard about this study, I became really ecstatic because I love coffee. I could drink coffee several times a day. It gives me the extra needed boost I need through out the day and it tastes really good.  A little sugar & cinnamon makes it extra special for me. There's about 20 studies out now that coffee, both regular and decaffeinated, lower the risk for Type-2 Diabetes. Other studies show that coffee may also lower the risk of Cancer, Liver Cirrhosis & Parkinson's … [Read more...]

Best Buy has some great deals on cameras this week.  I need a new camera because my Canon is just a point and shoot kind of camera.  I would love a brand new Nikon camera.  Those are some fierce cameras!

I would love one of these since it would be a great addition to my Wii Fit. This game comes out on Tuesday and you get a $10 gift card when you … [Read more...]

Ready for a laugh?

My husband is addicted to watching Jerry Springer.  Everyone knows that crazy, wild show, right? Well,  since he is not here during the day, he records the show so he can watch it at night.  He usually watches it when the kids are in bed and I'm on the computer because sometimes those people on that show are just plain dumb, I can't bear to watch it.  Other times, I can't help but watch it because it is so damn interesting and entertaining too. This particular episode had us both laughing so … [Read more...]
