{Recipe} Limber de Coco – Coconut Cream Ice Pops (or cups)
July 11, 2013 by 31 Comments
If you gave me a choice between winter and summer, I would definitely have to choose the latter. Summer is a time to enjoy the outdoors and spend plenty of time with your family by the beach or the pool. When I was a kid, my parents used to vacation in Lancaster, PA. We'd visit my aunts, uncles and cousins and explore the area. My aunt was a stay at home mom so to make extra money, she would sell frozen kool-aid in small cups for twenty-five cents each. She would make yummy and refreshing … [Read more...]

#Sponsored: Sparkling Dishes with Cascade Platinum Pacs & An Instagram Contest #MyPlatinum
June 6, 2013 by 1 Comment
Disclosure: I participated in a campaign on behalf of Mom Central Consulting for Cascade. I received a product sample to facilitate my review and a promotional item as a thank you for participating. Growing up, I was the one who had dish-duty every single day. I’m the oldest of four girls so it was one of the many chores I needed to do on a daily basis. We lived in an apartment all my childhood life so washing dishes by hand was the norm for me. That is until my husband and I bought our first … [Read more...]

{Review} The Snugg iPad 2 Executive Case Cover and Stand in Black Leather
May 18, 2013 by 4 Comments
I recently received the Snugg iPad 2 Executive Case Cover and Stand in black leather for review and allow me to say that I am completely in love with it. I'm a proud owner of an iPad for about two years now and have been through iPad cases like crazy. Being a frugal mom, I haven't invested a lot of money on iPad cases. Consequently, I've ended up with low-quality cases. In just a few months of normal wear and tear, the cases start to rip on the sides and the stitching pulls away at the seams. … [Read more...]

The people representing Thyme Maternity at Getting Gorgeous were awesome! They were full of information and … [Read more...]
I’m a Coffee Snob — There, I Said It!
April 26, 2013 by 4 Comments
I cannot deny I'm a coffee snob. And it’s all thanks to my beloved Keurig Brewer. It's always ready to go with just one button, always consistent and never has any issues, thank goodness! It gives me delicious coffee each and every time. I can brew it strong or weak - however I want it and it doesn’t JUST make coffee - it makes so much more! After owning a Keurig for over 3 years, I can't drink coffee from just anywhere. There's a few places where I get coffee from just because I know it … [Read more...]
