Has it been THAT long since I last posted my Shout-Out Sunday post? I think so. It's not that I haven't been able to find some good reads, I have. It's me. I've been exhausted lately and visiting the doctor more often than I would like. Looks like I may be needing surgery to remove some polyps that I developed on my uterus. I know that's TMI but what the heck. Maybe someone out there going thru the same issue can informed me the best thing to do. Anyway, I don't want to bore you with my … [Read more...]

Easy Memorial Day Recipes – Thanks to Food Network
May 26, 2011 by
Where has the time gone? Doesn't it feel like yesterday we were just in January? Or is it just me? Memorial Day is this weekend! Seriously, I feel like time is literally flying by and I don't know if I like it. That means my kids are getting older and I am missing my babies dearly. Sigh. Well, at least we have the holidays coming up which also means good food accompanying the days. I'd thought it would be a great idea to share some of my favorite recipes I have found over the years from … [Read more...]

Chris O’Donnell Joins the Lunchables Team at Times Square
May 21, 2011 by 13 Comments
Earlier this week I had an amazing opportunity that doesn’t happen too often for me. I was recently contacted by Lunchables to join them at Times Square along with other bloggers to help them reach their goal of donating up to one million pounds of fresh fruit to Feeding America AND get a chance of a lifetime to interview Chris O’Donnell (father of 5!) from the TV show NCIS: Los Angeles and movies like Batman and Robin, Scent of a woman and more. Now who’s crazy enough to say no to that? … [Read more...]

With Summer comes white and … [Read more...]
Healthy Choice Frozen Meals | Review
May 8, 2011 by 7 Comments
Getting and staying healthy is something very important to me. With so many obese individuals in this country, I vowed to eat right, feed my family healthy foods and snacks and stay away from processed foods as much as possible. Fact #1: According to the Center for Disease Control (CDC), two-thirds of American adults are overweight or obese, which puts them at increased risk for heart disease, diabetes and the metabolic syndrome. But eating healthy isn't always cheap, it can be quite … [Read more...]
Bloggers Share Their PERFECT Mother’s Day
May 7, 2011 by 21 Comments
Mother's Day, to most moms, is a day to relax and unwind according to the bloggers I "interviewed." It's not a day for extravagant gifts or have brunch or dinner at a fancy restaurant. Most of us moms just want the day off to do absolutely nothing. And there's nothing wrong with wanting a day to ourselves. Moms work hard all year long and on our special day (although Mother's Day should be everyday), we just want to be filled with lots of love, no mommy duties and lots of scrumptious … [Read more...]
