A month ago, I was invited to the Raymour and Flanigan furniture store at its newest location – 66th St. and Broadway in New York City. I was extremely excited because I was going to meet and chat with the design diva, Kristan Cunningham. Just in case you were wondering (shame on you if you were) who is Kristan Cunningham, let me share some details with you. She was the host and lead designer on the show, Design on a Dime for four years and she is a regular guest on the Rachael Ray Show – … [Read more...]

Wash Before You Wear!
January 12, 2010 by 3 Comments
This morning when I checked my emails, I noticed an email I received from MomLogic.com (I signed up for their updated newsletters; you should too!) with the title, “New Does Not Mean Clean” and I knew I wanted to read more about it. You see, whenever I would buy clothes for any of my kids, my husband or myself, I like to wash them beforehand so I was definitely intrigued by the title. To be honest, I never liked the smell of brand new clothes, no matter what store I bought them from and I … [Read more...]
Unique Conversations With My 4 Year Old
January 10, 2010 by 6 Comments
My four year old and I have lots of conversations in the car. Some conversations make me laugh and some make me wonder, "where does she hear this stuff from". Anyway, they're all so cute because it lets me me know what she's thinking. Here are two small conversations I just had to share with everyone. It made me laugh out loud because she'll come out and just say some random things. 4 y.o. - Mama, that's a hospital truck, right? Me - Hospital truck? (looking around really quickly … [Read more...]

January 6, 2010 by 1 Comment
Thanks to General Mills for allowing MyBlogSpark for sending me 4 VIP coupons for free boxes of cereals to help my family get in the habit of eating the most important meal of the day – breakfast. My kids and I went shopping for a few staples like milk, bread, eggs and of course some cereals. I told each of my kids that they can choose one cereal that had the General Mills brand on the box and this is what they chose: Cookie Crisp Honey Nut Cheerios Reese’s Puffs I chose my all-time … [Read more...]
Progresso® High Fiber Soup | Review & Giveaway
January 5, 2010 by 62 Comments
Full Disclosure: I received the soup, information and the prize pack you see below from MyBlogSpark and Progresso. No other compensation was given. I recently had a yummy and nutritious opportunity to try out Progresso’s New High Fiber Homestyle Minestrone Soup. I’ve always been a soup lover, especially in the cold, winter months. I don't know about you but for me it’s nice to sit down with a bowl of hot soup and a side of crackers to dip in the soup when it’s cold outside. It makes me … [Read more...]
Goodbye 2009, Hello 2010!
January 4, 2010 by 3 Comments
What a year 2009 has been. It started off badly (financially) for the first six months but things started to "look" good in June so I would have to say 2009 wasn't that great.

Having this blog has kept me sane like you wouldn't believe. Going through financial stress is hard but when you … [Read more...]
