Yesterday I attended an event at the Museum of Natural History for their media preview to showcase their newest and latest creation - The Explorer App for iPad/iPhone/iPod Touch. The app is amazing and if you have either of these devices; iPad/iPhone/iPod Touch, you won't need the paper map and we can all help save some trees by not using the map. How's that for helping the planet? ;) Earlier this year, the museum launched its first iPhone app - Dinosaurs: The American Museum of … [Read more...]

Re-imagine Wool, The Ramblers Way
July 24, 2010 by Leave a Comment
This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Ramblers Way. All opinions are 100% mine. When I hear the word "wool" I think about the sweaters that were given to me during the holidays that were hot, heavy, itchy or most of the time, all three. I've had my share of wool sweaters that have collected dust in my closet and have gotten sent to the Salvation Army because I could not bear with the feel of the fabric. At this very moment, I don't own anything that is wool except for a coat … [Read more...]

July 22, 2010 by 6 Comments
(Note: Post is long with photos & video so please make sure to check those out! Thanks.) Waking up at 6 am is something I usually don't like doing in the summer. I'm a wahm (p/t) so the summer days for us are also lazy days. We go to sleep late from watching TV, movies or playing games and usually the kids are sleeping til 9am. This past Tuesday was exceptionally different. Several days ago I received an invitation from a representative of Tide detergent about the upcoming advanced … [Read more...]

It was all about my girls yesterday at Madison Square Park. They had a once-in-a-lifetime experience they will never forget. They both met two of their favorite actresses: Selena Gomez & Joey King. Both photos above "almost" didn't happen. Read on to find out what happened. The first one with Selena: I respectfully asked one of the bodyguards if I can take a pic of my girls with Selena, he replied back with a firm no but seconds later, Selena decided to say c'mon girls, and I took the … [Read more...]

Sassy Saturday – Girls RULE!
July 17, 2010 by 3 Comments
I'll admit it, I can be sassy at times but guess what? I'm a girl and I can be. It's just a privilege us girls have that men would never understand. Right ladies? lol So I took the liberty in "borrowing" one my sister's photos she took while in Amsterdam. I think every woman should own a tee like this one below! Maybe I'll make an order to be a proud owner of one. ;) Have a SASSY SATURDAY!! … [Read more...]
The Moment I Knew | E.P.T. Blog Tour
July 16, 2010 by 11 Comments
Thinking about saving my pregnancy tests often disgusted me (C'mon, you pee on it!) so after using one after finding out I was pregnant, I would just throw it away. Little did I know that I was going to find a long-lost ept test years later. A few weeks ago, I was clearing out my nite stand and I found a miscellaneous envelope. I opened it and I found a pregnancy test that I used for my last child. I forgot to throw the last one away (from my 3rd child) and now regret throwing the first … [Read more...]
Special Offers For IKEA Lovers (NY/NJ)
July 12, 2010 by 5 Comments
When I first moved in with my husband (back when we were boyfriend/girlfriend) we fell in love with IKEA's style so basically our whole apartment came from IKEA. The furniture was cheap, pretty good quality and very hip and stylish. Everyone that would come over loved every piece of furniture, bookcase and/or picture frame. They couldn't believe it all came from IKEA. I wanted to share with all of you that IKEA is having two great promotions going on this week. One will be held in their … [Read more...]
