It's that time again. Time for a picture without words a.k.a Wordless Wednesday. This time I'm seriously not saying anything about the picture. ;) Ok, I couldn't help it. Aren't they cute?I guess it's Hallmark's new greeting card line. I saw these at my local Stop and Shop. Perfect for those anytime moments with your girlies. … [Read more...]

Champion SHAPE™: Making Zumba Extra Fun!
September 14, 2011 by 17 Comments
So this past Monday I decided to try out Zumba for the very first time. If you read my first post on Champion SHAPE™ gear, then you already know that I am one of Champion's “Shape Your Life” Blogger Ambassador who also wants to lose some weight. Here's where the issue lies -- I've got to start slow. I have a thyroid condition that makes me fatigue - among other things, an umbilical hernia that needs to get fixed really soon and lately I've been having pain on my left knee (a.k.a I'm one hot … [Read more...]
We Remember – 10 Years Later – 9/11/11
September 11, 2011 by 3 Comments
The first time I wrote about 9/11 was in 2009. It was my second year of blogging. The last post happened the following year in 2010. This year marks the tenth anniversary of the tragedy that made America stronger, unfortunately. Do you remember where you were on that horrible day? Like many people, I remember it so well. It was my son's first day of school. My husband and I were first-time homeowners for a full four months. It was a new beginning for us. I never thought in a hundred … [Read more...]

Giada De Laurentiis For Target Collection Event
September 7, 2011 by 2 Comments
I was watching The Talk yesterday after hearing that Giada De Laurentiis will be on and ONLY because she would be on the show and that is when I remembered. Holy Moley, I never posted about the event that I attended with the one and only Giada De Laurentiis. By the way, The Talk is NOT the same without Leah Remini and Holly Robinson Peete so I won't be watching often. I was definitely turned off when I heard the awful news that Leah and Holly would no longer be on the show. For whatever … [Read more...]
Just One More Day
September 6, 2011 by 6 Comments
That's it. Summer has come to an end. And just like that school is about to begin -- just one more day. What are we doing today? Getting everything ready to have a successful morning and rest of the week. Brand new clothes gave been washed (don't like kids wearing new clothes without laundering), bookbags are stocked with all the essentials and too much more (why do teachers ask for SO MUCH? wipes, dry erase markers, 12 glue sticks, 3 dozen pencils - are the kids supplying for the whole … [Read more...]
Marie Callender’s Baked Meals Review
September 5, 2011 by 6 Comments
Last night, I told the kids we were going to have lasagna for dinner. Since my kids love pasta, they were ecstatic about dinner, that is until I told them we were going to try a frozen lasagna. They weren't too happy about my decision but they understood why. I always tell them that mommy's a blogger and as a blogger I get opportunities to review products and food. For me, it's fun to be able to taste-test new foods because I can let my readers know what my family and I enjoy … [Read more...]

In anticipation of the upcoming movie, “Real Steel”, I was sent some cool and interesting facts about the movie, starring Hugh Jackman and Dakota Goyo. “Real Steel” is about a former boxer (Hugh Jackman) who, against all odds, gets one last shot at a comeback when he teams up with his estranged son (Dakota Goyo) to build and train the perfect contender for the new high-tech sport of robot boxing. Before I post the facts, check out the movie trailer below: FUN FACTS “Real Steel” is … [Read more...]
Starbuck’s Bistro Boxes Review
September 4, 2011 by Leave a Comment
We definitely live in a world where everyone is in a hurry and every thing seems to be happening fast. And while living a fast-paced lifestyle, there are many unhealthy options when it comes to foods, such as fast food joints. The few healthy places to eat are limited and quite expensive. At Starbucks, they don't want to discourage a speedy lifestyle but help make it a more enjoyable experience with their brand new line of Bistro Boxes. They are healthy, delicious and did I mention they are … [Read more...]
Happy Birthday AND Happy Anniversary!
September 2, 2011 by 12 Comments
Yesterday was my son's birthday. We didn't make a big fuss because that's what he wanted. I did make him breakfast though (something I hate doing!) and gave him hugs and kisses. My husband came home to take him for a haircut and spend some quality time with his only son but then had to leave again for duty. But shhh, don't tell anyone. Well today is another special day. It's my husband's birthday. As much as I want him to have his special day, today also marks a day that means a lot … [Read more...]
