How Gain Dryer Sheets Saved Me During #Blogalicious11

Hurricane Irene came to the tri-state and left a huge mess everywhere, including my basement. My basement was flooded with two inches of water and left most of our possessions damp and smelly. And one of our possessions were our suitcases. I brought them upstairs to clean them and Febreze them like crazy. I let them air out for days and thought they were good to go. I packed my clothes for Blogalicious 2011 and was ready to go....or so I thought. The night I checked in, I took my clothes … [Read more...]

I Hosted A LeapFrog “Learn, Create, Share” Party!

A few weeks ago, I invited a few moms from the neighborhood to come over for a LeapFrog "Learn, Create, Share" party with some snacks and some LeapFrog products. It's not often I get together with other moms because we all have different schedules and often times, our families keep us quite busy. So having a party is always on the back-burner if we're not celebrating a birthday or two. Thanks to Mom Select and LeapFrog, I had the opportunity to spend some quality time with some friends (who … [Read more...]

My Number is 35. What’s Yours? A Sleep Number® P5 Bed Review

Experts say you should replace your mattress every 5-7 years.  Did you know that? I sure didn't. The reason experts say 5-7 years is because people's bodies change over time, and the need for comfort and good support increases with age.  When you think you need a new mattress, it's usually a good idea to go out and start comparing mattresses and foundations to a newer model every few years. Are you curious to know how long I've had mine? 6 years? 8 years? 11 years? NOPE! 16 … [Read more...]

DreamWorks Pictures Presents “Real Steel” – Giveaway

A few weeks ago I wrote about the upcoming movie with the hunk Hugh Jackman in Real Steel. I have not seen it but I've heard from my fellow blogger peeps that the movie was FANTASTIC! About twenty LUCKY bloggers were flown to Hollywood for the red carpet premiere for the movie and I have to say I was a bit envious about not going but I was glad for the bloggers who did attend.  From the trailer and reviews, I have to say that I cannot wait to see it. It's sad that I will miss an advance … [Read more...]

EASY Recipe: SouthWestern Pulled Pork & Roasted Potato Medallions (Courtesy of Target)

Several months ago, I went to an event that was sponsored by Target showcasing various products by Giada De Laurentiis in addition to Archer Farms items, sold exclusively by Target. At the event, I found numerous products that I would buy for my family and for any get-together in my home.  I tried out some really good foods such as Bacon Cheeseburger Pizzas, Apple Streusel Pancakes and Linguine with Sun-Dried Tomatoes, Olives & Lemon but the one food that stood out to me were the … [Read more...]

Shout-Out Sunday – 10/2

Wow, it has been a long while since I posted a Shout-Out Sunday. It's definitely not because I don't read any blogs that are worth spreading. No way! On the contrary, there are PLENTY of blogs that are worth visiting every single day.  My dilemma is that I read way too many fantastic blogs that it's hard to choose which ones I should Shout-Out.  Because in my opinion, they're all good reads. Anyway, here are some that I selected from my Google reader: 1) From Good Enough Mother: How do … [Read more...]

Champion SHAPE™: Running Errands Comfortably

For the past several weeks, I've been reviewing workout gear from Champion SHAPE™ as a "Shape Your Life Ambassador." And I have to say, it has been fabulous!  It makes me look and feel great and it makes Zumba extra fun! What I really adore about Champion Gear is that the clothes keep you dry.  The materials they use wicks away moisture and makes you less sticky, which I like because I sweat when I workout. YUK! As a mom of three with a house to run and a needy husband (LOL), I'm usually … [Read more...]
