As a mom of three children, having good oral hygiene is very important to me. It's especially important to my husband for the simple fact that his mother was a dental hygienist for over twenty years. So it's no surprise that we were beyond excited about joining The Motherhood in taking the Listerine® Oral Care Challenge for the next three weeks along with other bloggers around the blogosphere. We have been Listerine® users for many years. There's no other mouthwash we use in our … [Read more...]

Out of Sight, Out of Mind…
January 28, 2012 by 12 Comments
You're heard of this saying: out of sight, out of mind -- right? That quote says it all about my blogging life as well as my home life. As you may know, I started working full time three months ago. The first month was extremely hectic for me. I was not used to being in an office for eight hours a day AND not being home when the kids arrived from school. I was exhausted. I got sick for three weeks with bronchitis and a nasty cough that would linger all day long. The laundry accumulated. The … [Read more...]

It's been a while since I posted a Wordless Wednesday and it's one of the easiest posts to write! Right? ;) I call this photo "Trained Monkey" only because it was taken in a metro-North train in NYC AND look at what my daughter is doing.

The holidays are officially over. No more gifts. No more tree. No more mess! Thank goodness. Now it's time for a brand new year. A new slate. As you may know, I'm a very proud owner of a Keurig Brewer. It's basically my lifeline in the morning. I love coffee. I need coffee. And I don't see myself drinking anything else in the morning to get me through the day. That is exactly why I was so happy to be part of an ambassador program from Green Mountain Coffee. I'm one of the K-Cup … [Read more...]

My New Obsession: Zinio For iPad App
December 30, 2011 by 10 Comments
Thanks to my fellow blogger and friend Migdalia from Latina on a Mission for introducing Zinio on her blog. She tweeted about one of her posts showcasing a free subscription of Cosmopolitan for the Zinio app a few weeks ago and I was curious to know what was Zinio all about. Before her post, I never heard of Zinio. And like so many people, when I see the word FREE, I jump at the chance to see if I can get my hands on it. Lol I clicked on her link and there it was -- a full year … [Read more...]
