As a mom of 3 very hungry children, I often cook dinner almost every day of the week. It's more economical, I know exactly what I putting into every dish I make and the kids love a home-cooked meal, especially my husband. But for me, time away from the kitchen is a blessing in disguise. I don't have to worry about what to make, what time I should start dinner and the mess that is made after everything is done. I love to cook but the one thing I do not like is cleaning the kitchen after … [Read more...]

September 4, 2010 by 7 Comments
When summer is gone and school is in session, I tend to bake more because I love the way my house smells when there's something baking in the oven. Even more so when it contains pumpkin pie spice.

Easy Recipe: Buffalo Chicken Meatballs
August 27, 2010 by 8 Comments
When I cook, I rarely use a recipe. I cook how my mother and grandparents taught me. A little bit of this, a little it of that and make sure you taste as you go along. Learning how to cook was fairly easy for me because I grew up in the kitchen with my family. I was always fascinated how they would just add ingredients and rarely measure anything and it was the greatest meal ever. That is how I cook today for my family. I'm like a Latina Rachael Ray because she doesn't measure either. … [Read more...]
Tips On Keeping Your Mascara On Your Lashes
August 26, 2010 by 3 Comments
I don't normally blog about beauty because there are tons of beauty blogs out in the blogosphere that I frequent and I learn from them but I think I should at least write posts about things that I do that makes my "beauty time" easier, right? I've been using mascara since I had my son. I was never really into eye makeup before then, just a little eye liner. I was once told that adding mascara to your lashes will make your eyes stand out and they were definitely right. I love mascara but … [Read more...]

Jabra STONE Bluetooth Headset With Extreme Noise Blocking | Review & Giveaway
August 23, 2010 by 150 Comments
New York State has had a cellular phone law since December 2001 with a fine of $100 if a person is caught with a hand-held phone. I'll be honest with you and say I was one of those people who broke that law. But shhh, don't let anyone know, let it be our secret. ;) I'm glad to say that ever since I was sent a Jabra STONE Bluetooth Headset With Extreme Noise Blocking, I haven't broken any laws and life has been less on the edge and I feel safer driving with my blue tooth on my ear instead of … [Read more...]
