Woo Hoo! Hells Kitchen: Season 6 Is Only A Day Away!

I don't care what anybody says, Chef Gordon Ramsey is one of the best chefs out there!  I LOVE Chef Gordon Ramsey. He loves his kitchens to be spotless, his food to be perfect and his chefs to be the best! He's a tell-it-like-it-is kind-of person and I love that.  Yes, he screams at the top of his lungs when he doesn't like a dish that you should be an expert on  and yes, he makes people feel like crap... BUT, if you don't have to cook for him, he can be the sweetest guy you could ever … [Read more...]

If you don’t like it, say something!

Have you ever bought something because of a life changing decision (like losing weight) or just to try it out because you had a coupon or maybe even just because? Well, that happened to me.  After going to the EA Sports Active event in NYC, I decided to make some changes to my diet and also add a workout regimen to tone up for the Summer. So I went and bought Hellmann's "light" Mayonnaise, among other things like fruits and veggies.  As soon as I opened up the jar, I could tell by the … [Read more...]

Cover Plug – Review and Giveaway!

Recently, I was given the opportunity to try out "Cover Plug". Even though I don't have any tiny babies crawling around, my youngest, who is 4 years old, loves to plug things in.  With this product, she couldn't get her way because the whole outlet is covered! I was amazed on how well this works. If you have crawling babies or mischievous toddlers, then this product is for you! Here is what they say at their site: The paintable CoverPlug is one product with two uses: it … [Read more...]

EA Sports Active Update – Day 19

I fell off the exercise wagon two weeks ago. I couldn't help it.  And I was so ready for the 30 Day Challenge but I forgot about the "woman issues" that I go through.  Back & abdominal pain, bloating, feeling nauseous, tired, etc...the list can go on and on. But I did hop back on the wagon and I'm continuing the challenge. So far, I've done 10 workouts and I feel great! My legs are a bit toned and I've lost some of my "love handles". Slowly but surely I can tell I'm losing the fat … [Read more...]

Wanna improve your relationship?

Last Saturday, my sister, my girls and I were on the bus to go to her house after having a fabulous day in the city (post coming soon).  My sister pointed out a billboard that was up above the windows on the bus. When I first saw it, I thought it was just for married people. I didn't know it would be a site for so much more. If you want to improve your relationship with your other half, this site is perfect for the two of you. If you're a parent, dating someone, engaged, living … [Read more...]

I always get burned!

When it comes to cooking, most of the time I get burned.  Since I'm trying to do so many things at once,  sometimes I forget that the pots are hot. Oh and don't get me started on breaking fights/arguments, telling my kids to keep it down or even hearing my 4 year old cry about something.  I'm lucky to have dinner in less than an hour most days. Yesterday when I was cooking dinner, my daughter started talking to me about school, which isn't an unusual thing.   She loves to talk about school … [Read more...]

EA SPORTS Active – Day 4

Thank goodness yesterday was my rest day because my lower body was SCREAMING with soreness.  I couldn't believe how sore I was.  Every time I would sit down, I could feel my leg muscles burning.  It was uncomfortable but well worth it.  I can't wait until my body is lean and toned. I am so happy I was given the opportunity to try this out to see for myself if it can actually melt off the fat and tone your body. People, it actually works!  I can tell already with just 3 workouts! Since I … [Read more...]

My favorite mom saying won!

I couldn't believe when I received the email fromLeTop.  It said, "Congratulations on your recent win on your favorite mom sayings"  I was so excited! It was a secret Twitter - only contest and I decided to enter just for the fun of it.  I sent them what I usually say to my family.  I had no idea I would win although I was hoping to. I was so glad I entered. It all started several years ago when my son couldn't find something in the refrigerator.  I forgot what it was but I know it was … [Read more...]

EA SPORTS Active Event in NYC

I hope everyone had a great Memorial Day weekend.  I had a nice, kind-of relaxing weekend.  I spent all weekend cleaning, organizing, fixing and moving furniture (hubby did the moving but I supervised, lol). I've been meaning to publish this post all week but I haven't had the time to finish so finally, here it is. Last Monday, I attended the EA SPORTS Active event in New York City. The event was held at the Marriott Marquis Hotel on Times Square.  First of all, the hotel is fabulous. It … [Read more...]
