This picture was taken last Wednesday when I took the kiddies to the Bronx Zoo. They have this new exhibit called Discover Madagascar. It is absolutely amazing. I have more pics to post on my blog but this picture of the Hissing Cockroaches really disgusted me when I saw it in person. So that is why it is my wordless pic of the day. My 3 year old didn't even want to get close to them, even though there was glass protecting us. The exhibit will only be there until July 27th so hurry if you … [Read more...]
Starbucks is closing?
July 2, 2008 by Leave a Comment
Well, not all of its stores but they do have plans to close about 600 stores due to the economy. If you remember this post, then you already know that I've been on a strike. I haven't visited a Starbucks for over six months and I don't miss a thing. I'm sorry but their prices are crazy for something I can make at home for the fraction of the cost. I am on a budget and I can't see myself spending $4 for a latte that I may not enjoy anyway, you know what I mean. I do … [Read more...]
Size does matter!

LOL.. I hope you didn't take your mind to the gutter with that one.. Just kidding. I'm really talking about food here. Has anyone noticed food is really smaller? I've been reading about it everywhere on the web. So when I went to my local Stop and Shop last night, I noticed that the food items are indeed smaller but the prices are still the same. I'm wondering, are these manufacturers trying to fool the consumers? I know things are hard now because of … [Read more...]
Need work in your house?

If so, you may want to do the work yourself instead of going to your neighborhood home improvement store. Or you can make a call to a reputable contractor and make sure that person or company is licensed and insured. Many people don't know this but it's the law to be licensed and insured if you are a contractor. You never know what problems can arise while your home is being remodeled or renovated.My husband is a contractor. He is both licensed and insured. He has … [Read more...]

I hate rejection!

I can't believe it. My blog was rejected by someone through Entrecard. They claimed it was because it was not relevant. WHAT??!! That person's blog used to be on my favorites. Needless to say, they are no longer on my list. I really can't believe that! Has this happened to anyone else? … [Read more...]

Toddler Talk

I have a 3 year old that speaks pretty well for her age. You can understand what she says, most of the time. When she says words that don't sound right, I try to correct her and get kind of upset when she says it the right way. You see, I love when kids her age say things the "wrong" way. I think it is so cute. Even though I do want her to speak proper English, she is my last baby and she'll learn the right way eventually. Here is what she is saying now:Baby … [Read more...]

Rolling down memory lane
June 26, 2008 by Leave a Comment
I remember when I was 19 years old, my dad took my sister and I to Orlando, Florida for our summer vacation. It was one of my most memorable experiences in my life. It was also my very first time in Florida. I loved everything about it. We were there for only a week but we did so much. Since there are so many things to do in Orlando, you will never be bored. You can visit one of their amusement parks, go to one or a few of their many beaches and eat at so many … [Read more...]
