This year I'm excited about BlogHer because it will be in New York City (Go New York!) which also means that I will finally be able to attend my very first blog conference. Since I started blogging two years ago, I have always wanted to attend a blogging conference to meet other bloggers, learn the ropes of blogging the "right" way (make some $$, gain traffic & learn how to social network) and of course, to get away for a couple of days. ;) BlogHer '10 is especially exciting for … [Read more...]

April 24, 2010 by 5 Comments
Letting my kids get dirty is something I fail at doing. I have 3 kids and I can't help but cringe when I see them get dirty when they play outside. I think about the stains that will be on their nice clothes and how hard I have to scrub to try to remove them. This past Tuesday, my daughter and I were invited to an event in New York City to check out Sun Product's newest laundry detergent called All Oxi-Active laundry detergent. It is a 2-in-1 detergent that has an advanced cleaning power … [Read more...]
I’m Doing My Part, Are you?
April 23, 2010 by 2 Comments
Yesterday was Earth Day so it was a great day for yard work, which my husband and I did. After a few hours of working, we started to get hungry so we decided to go to TGI Fridays for lunch. After we filled our bellies with a delicious lunch, we headed out to Lowe's for some water filters for our fridge and sink. The reason we wanted to purchase water filters is because we want to treat Mother Earth the way she should be treated - with respect and with less trash. We buy a case of … [Read more...]
Simply… Go-Gurt Yogurt – Review & Giveaway
April 22, 2010 by
***GIVEAWAY ENDED*** Winner is CONGRATULATIONS DENISE!!!!!! Growing up, yogurt was not a staple in my house. Since my mom did not eat it, she didn't buy it. So since she didn't like it, she thought I wouldn't either. She was right - to an extent. The first time I tried it, I hated it. It was something I never wanted to eat again until I tried it in a smoothie. The smoothie was delicious with bananas, pineapple, strawberries, milk & of course, the star - strawberry flavored … [Read more...]

Sorry for the delay folks but I was out practically all week preparing for the weekend.
