Well, that's it folks. The last post of the year. Goodbye 2010. Hello 2011. And since I totally forgot to announce the winners of the past two giveaways, this post will be the very last giveaway post as well. Killing two birds with one stone is today's motto. So before I announce the winners with the help of random.org, I wanted to thank all of my readers for reading my little spot on the web. Without you guys, I don't think this blog would be worth it. I love when I read comments from … [Read more...]

Special K Resolution Challenge: What Will You Gain When You Lose?
December 30, 2010 by 4 Comments
Are you starting a new resolution for the new year? If so, you're one of the many that will be. The top New Year's resolutions are losing weight, quit smoking, exercise more and of course, save money. This year, I'm not making any resolutions. Why? I'm simply making small changes in my life in hopes of keeping those changes to live a better life and be a better person. Instead of losing weight, I'm interested in gaining self-confidence. You see I've gained a little over twenty pounds … [Read more...]

Making Over My Fridge With the Help of I Can’t Believe it’s Not Butter
December 27, 2010 by Leave a Comment
This past November I was given the opportunity to makeover my fridge with the help of I Can't Believe It's Not Butter. They helped me by providing some useful tools and some very needed information on how to deep clean my fridge and how to store foods. I chose to really deep clean my fridge right before Thanksgiving because my menu was full of delicious meals that would definitely leave leftovers for the weekend so I needed all the room that I can get. With 3 kids, a husband and … [Read more...]

Secret Santa with T.J. Maxx & Marshalls
December 23, 2010 by 3 Comments
It's been a long time since I participated in Secret Santa. I remember in college, my friends and I got together and we decided on playing Secret Santa one year to save some money. We agreed on having $10 as the limit. We placed all the names of the girls participating in a hat and each of us chose one name each. When it was time to give each other gifts, some of us knew who their Secret Santa was already. It was a lot of fun. Recently, RocketXL contacted me and asked if I wanted to par … [Read more...]
The Disney Holiday Blogger Event in New York City
December 22, 2010 by Leave a Comment
Out of all the blogger events I've attended in the past (and I've been to plenty of events), Disney is by far my favorite event to go to. It's kid-friendly, full of treats and Disney always provides wonderful activities that are perfect for both parent & child. Disney definitely knows how to bring out the kid in every single adult, such as me. The Disney Holiday Blogger Event's main goal was to showcase their new games, like EPIC Mickey for Wii, new movies such as The Search for Santa … [Read more...]

Ramblings: I Threw My Kids Out on My Birthday
December 17, 2010 by 7 Comments
You may think I'm the worst mom in the whole wide world but after you read this, you'll (hopefully) understand. Yesterday was my birthday and my husband took the day off to spend my birthday with me. We didn't plan anything special -- just breakfast at the local diner or lunch at Red Robin. We agreed that we'll go with the flow. The night before, he said that he'd take care of the kids in the morning so I could sleep in and I immediately had a grin from ear to ear. I don't know about … [Read more...]
