That's right folks -- "Gno'" more waiting to see Disney's newest movie, Gnomeo and Juliet in 3D. It's finally here. Touchstone's newest picture, Gnomeo and Juliet brings a comical, off-the-wall makeover of Shakespeare's original Romeo and Juliet filled with feuds, revenge, love and death (it's very subtle - trust me) in a comical and G-Rated way.

Bloggers Share Their Best and Worst Valentine’s Day
February 10, 2011 by 21 Comments
Valentine's Day is 4 days away. Are you ready? :) I hope so. A few days ago I sent out an email to some bloggers and friends and I asked them if they wanted to share their best & worst Valentine's Day. I didn't get 14 responders like I had planned but at least I got a good list for you to read. The first thing I want to say is that this post was inspired by the lovely Jai from Mamistimeout.com (we first met at iVillage.com message boards) where she's doing something a bit different at … [Read more...]

February 6, 2011 by 2 Comments
How many times have this happened to you? You wake up craving (and desperately needing) a cup of good strong coffee and you look in the cupboards and there's nothing. You go crazy looking for the canister or in my case, K-cups and still, can't find one. The inevitable happened -- you ran out of K-cups. This has happened to me numerous times.
