"This is the best day ever, Mom!" That is what my 5 year old told me right before she met Chuck E. Cheese. She was so excited to have her 5th birthday at one of her favorite places. I've been hearing a lot about a Chuck E. Cheese party for months now but I was reluctant because the place can get kind of "wacko" with all the kids running around. Let's not forget about the parents - who can also get "wild" too. Have you heard about adults fighting at Chuck E. Cheese? I could not believe it … [Read more...]

Wordless Wednesday – Beeper?
March 17, 2010 by 7 Comments
Where I live, kindergarten is only half day so I'm on a search for a school that has a full day kindergarten for my five year old. I received applications for some private schools and a couple of Catholic and Christian schools. On one of the applications, I could not believe what I saw. I have not seen this option on an application in YEARS so I thought it would be PERFECT for a Wordless Wednesday. :) Happy St. Patrick's Day all. Today EVERYONE is Irish! LOL Enjoy your day! … [Read more...]

31 Days to Build a Better Blog Challenge – Day 2
March 4, 2010 by Leave a Comment
Today's challenge is: Day 2: Make A List Post When it comes to blogging, I'm not much of a "list-poster". I make lists (like shopping lists) but not all the time. However, I've done a few list posts in the past but I only found one. I had to look through my old blog archives to find it. It was a post that Jerry Springer inspired me to write. I know, I know, that show is trash TV but believe me, I'm not the one that records it (hubby does). If it were up to me, I wouldn't see … [Read more...]
31 Days to Build a Better Blog Challenge – Day 1
March 3, 2010 by 4 Comments
I've been blogging off and on since 2006 but I've been consistent for the past two years and what a journey it has been. I never thought I would meet other bloggers or even go to events in my favorite city, New York City. When I first started out, it was meant to be "an online journal." Something to keep me from going "insane." Staying home with kids is not an easy thing to do so writing brought me my sanity, so to speak. I still have my first blog up and running over at Blogspot. If you … [Read more...]
PBS Kids – Super Why & Martha Speaks – DVD Reviews
March 2, 2010 by Leave a Comment
PBS Kids is a very popular channel with my four year old daughter. It's the one channel she is constantly watching. Yes, I know watching more than 2 hours of television is bad for a kid her age but if it's PBS, who cares, right? She's learning, having fun and singing along. A lot of the times I find myself watching it along with her, especially the Super Why episodes. Never heard of Super Why? Well, it's an animated series designed to help kids ages 3 to 6 gain the critical skills that they … [Read more...]
