As a mom of three children, having good oral hygiene is very important to me. It's especially important to my husband for the simple fact that his mother was a dental hygienist for over twenty years. So it's no surprise that we were beyond excited about joining The Motherhood in taking the Listerine® Oral Care Challenge for the next three weeks along with other bloggers around the blogosphere. We have been Listerine® users for many years. There's no other mouthwash we use in our … [Read more...]

Disclosure: I wrote this review while participating in a Test Drive campaign by Mom Central on behalf of Verizon FiOS and received a free trial of the products and services necessary to facilitate my review.

With the help of Verizon FiOS and their wonderful mobile app, I don't have to miss any of my favorite shows. I can exercise or do whatever I want and choose to watch my favorite … [Read more...]
My New Obsession: Zinio For iPad App
December 30, 2011 by 10 Comments
Thanks to my fellow blogger and friend Migdalia from Latina on a Mission for introducing Zinio on her blog. She tweeted about one of her posts showcasing a free subscription of Cosmopolitan for the Zinio app a few weeks ago and I was curious to know what was Zinio all about. Before her post, I never heard of Zinio. And like so many people, when I see the word FREE, I jump at the chance to see if I can get my hands on it. Lol I clicked on her link and there it was -- a full year … [Read more...]

Disclosure: I wrote this review while participating in a Test Drive campaign by Mom Central on behalf of Verizon FiOS and received a free trial of the products and services necessary to facilitate my review.

We have nothing but great service, great TV shows/movies and lightening fast internet … [Read more...]
Edy’s Pumpkin Ice Cream is DELICIOUS!
December 1, 2011 by 7 Comments
I just finished the last bit of Pumpkin Spice ice cream from Edy's. It's indeed a sad, sad day. You may be asking why. Well, here's the thing. I have a bit of an obsession with pumpkin. I love almost anything with pumpkin in it; Pumpkin pie, pumpkin spice latte, pumpkin mousse pie, pumpkin bread, pumpkin spiced cake, coffee with pumpkin spice sprinkled on top of whipped cream -- the list can literally go on and on. The day before Thanksgiving, crazy me, went into Stop and Shop … [Read more...]

Recently, my friend Katja, invited me to an event held in Macy's to see the infamous celebrity hair stylist Dean Banowetz. We had front row seats in the 7th floor of Macy's on 34th St and Herald Square to see him in action using the brand new Topstyler® from InStyler. If you don't know who he is, he is well-known for his red carpet looks. Dean Banowetz caters to an A-list clientele, and has been featured on top-rated television shows including Oprah, Tyra, Soap Talk, Fox News, … [Read more...]
I Hosted A LeapFrog “Learn, Create, Share” Party!
October 20, 2011 by Leave a Comment
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
October 14, 2011 by 24 Comments
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...]
Champion SHAPE™: Running Errands Comfortably
September 30, 2011 by 8 Comments
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...]

Goodbye Summer, Hello Autumn! Today is the first day of Autumn. It's a pretty warm day in New York with scattered showers over the state but its finally starting to feel like Fall, one of my favorite seasons.

It's one of the many activities we enjoy doing as a family. We can pick our own apples, taste some freshly squeezed apple cider and … [Read more...]
