Happy Easter Everyone!

Happy Easter everyone. I am exhausted from yesterday's trip to the city. We were at Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus and it was FANTASTIC!! We loved it. My kids are already asking me when we can go again. I have tons of posts to write and I don't even know where to start. I'm just overwhelmed but I'll get there. Kids are back to school on Tuesday but hopefully I can start before. So please stay tuned because I have a giveaway (I know it's so late), a review (& tons of pics … [Read more...]

Almost WW – Surprise!

Lately, I have been totally addicted to Bakerella. She has the most amazing cupcakes, cake pops and goodies you could ever imagine.  I wish I was there to taste each and every goodness. So since I can't be there, I tried to be Ms. Bakerella for several hours and made this: and this: It took me about 4 hours from start to finish.  It wasn't that difficult to make but since it was my first time making them, it took awhile.  It was a lot of work but also a lot of fun.  She makes it … [Read more...]

Kids DO say the funniest things.

Below is a conversation I had with my 4 year old.  We were just about to have dinner so I asked my 4 year old to call her brother over for dinner. Here is what the conversation was like: Nessa: Steven, dinner's ready. Nessa: Look Mom, here's your brother. Mom: (laughing)  No baby (Yes, I still call her baby), he's not my brother, he's my son. Nessa: No, he's not.  He's your brother Mommy. Mom: Baby, you're my daughter and he's my son. Nessa: No MOMMY!! He's your brother, he's … [Read more...]

The verdict is in.

So, after taking the vehicle in to get checked by the insurance company, the damages will cost approximately $3,800 to fix. Yup! That's right. Thank goodness for insurance because that's a lot of moolah! Besides the visual damages, there are also alignment issues that need to get fixed.  I'm hoping the repairs won't take too long.  I hate being stuck in my house. So, that's the latest news for me. … [Read more...]

Is it Friday yet?

Oh my, what a week it has been so far. Yesterday was a very long day. My husband got into a car accident on the Taconic State Parkway due to a very big ice patch.  He told me that the roads were very slippery and cars were sliding everywhere.  In fact, that was the second accident at the very same spot. So, needless to say, it has been very stressful; especially for him. I'm so relieved and happy that he's ok; no injuries at all.  The other person that was also involved is trying to … [Read more...]

She works hard for the money!

Since my daughter got a pre-paid cell phone for Christmas, that is all she talks about.  She is also always "texting" her friends.  So we agreed that if she wanted to add more minutes to her phone, she's gonna have to do extra chores around the house.  We didn't agree how much she would get but I did mention if she did anything extra without me telling her, then she'll get a bigger reward. I went out to the supermarket to get a few things and when I got back, the kitchen sink was empty.  I … [Read more...]

Girl Drama.

I have a dilemma.  I have a 4 bedroom house, which is nice for a family of five but there's one bad thing about the 4th bedroom.  The bad thing is that you have to enter the 3rd. bedroom to get into the last bedroom (as you can see in the picture), which is the master bedroom. Before I had my 3 daughter Nessa (her nickname), it wasn't a major problem because it was used as a den/computer room. Now that my little princess is here, it's her bedroom.  She's turning 4 in March and I think she's … [Read more...]
