America’s Top 10 Recession-Proof Cities

When I first saw this list, I knew New York wouldn't be near number ten but I was curious to know what cities made "the list".   After looking at the top 10 list,  this New York girl just might have to relocate if times get too rough.  If we do decide to move to Raleigh, we won't be alone because my husband has some family in Raleigh, N.C.  The only negative part of the whole idea is that when we went to Raleigh for Easter break, I didn't feel like it … [Read more...]

Summer Vacations are Coming Soon

When I think about the Summer, I think about the best Summer vacation I ever had.  It was when my husband and I took the kids to Disneyworld in 2001. We had so much fun especially since we had no thoughts of terrorists.  Even though my kids were only three and five they still remember almost every part of the trip.  We had the best time of our lives.  After Disneyworld, we hopped on the Disney cruise which was the perfect way to end our trip. I think I prefer the cruise over the parks any … [Read more...]

Back to reality :(

It's a shame today is Monday.  You must be wondering why.   Well, if you HAVE to know, it's because it's the day after Mother's Day.  I had such a great day yesterday that I was kind of sad when I woke up this morning.  My husband and my kids made Mother's Day really special for me.   Yesterday, I woke up before my husband because I wanted to tidy up the kitchen before he woke up. The kids asked me why I was up so early … [Read more...]

Renuzit Tri Scents – Transform your home

I love when my home smells clean.  There is nothing better than a clean smelling house.  I also love when it smells like an air freshener.  What can I say, I love good smelling things.  I love different scents in the air to match my different moods too.  The reason why I  love different scents in the air is because I also have a dog.  He isn't too big, but his smell can be at times.  I especially love the way Renuzits smell.  They have … [Read more...]

I love weather like today

It was a beautiful 68 degrees today.  In my opinion, that is perfect weather.  The sun feels warm on your skin, the air is cool and the Lilac trees are in full bloom.  I love this time of year because of the lilacs.  I love when I walk by them, I could smell the aroma of lilacs in the air.  They smell so good and so sweet.  They're one of my favorite flowers.Here's a picture of some of the lilacs from my backyard:Washington News: May 12-17 is the official … [Read more...]

Social Spark is ALIVE!

Before I started this blog, I knew I wanted to earn some extra cash for the household, but I didn't know what I wanted to do to make the extra money.  So I researched through many blogs and web sites and found out people were making a decent salary blogging about things they loved.  So I thought, why not?  As a stay at home mom, extra cash is always helpful and needed at the same time.  So I started a blog at BlogSpot and did reviews on products that I love and about other … [Read more...]

Jail Time

Did you know Hulk Hogan's son, Nick Bollea, was sentenced to eight months in jail for reckless driving?  Yes, true indeed but how many people think he will serve the whole time IN jail?  I don't think he will serve that much time incarcerated, if any.  They will probably give him house arrest because he's a "celebrity" and everyone knows that celebrities get the "celebrity" treatment if they do a crime; which to me is not fair at all.  If you do the crime, you have to do the … [Read more...]
