The past week has been exhausting. Blogging conferences are no joke! It took a huge toll on my body, mind and soul. I think I can say I am almost 85%. Not a full 100% because I have kids to take care of and they suck the energy right outta me (kidding, lol) but I'm getting there. Last Sunday I totally forgot to post my Shout-Out Sunday so this week will feature the special people I met at BlogHer '10. In case you don't know about Shout-Out Sunday, click here and find out ;) I hope you … [Read more...]

August 14, 2010 by Leave a Comment
Disclosure: The Volkswagen Routan was given to us as a loaner for review purposes only. It was made possible by the MWW Group. Thank you so much for making our road trip "extra special" Amy. ;) OK, so it's been a long 49 days since our family road trip with the star of the trip, the Volkswagen Routan. I know, I know. That was way over a month ago and you must be thinking, ok, why is she writing about this now? Honestly, life got in the way especially when there's kids involved and … [Read more...]
The Latest in Microwave Technology: True Cook Plus
August 12, 2010 by 2 Comments
Last month I had an opportunity to check out the latest technology in microwaves called True Cook Plus, thanks to my friend Kimberly Coleman from Mominthecity.com. The event was held at City Treehouse in Chelsea on a beautiful New York City afternoon (check out the slide show at the bottom of this post featuring the microwave, food and City Treehouse). While the kids played in the play area, the parents/bloggers learned how True Cook Plus works, which is a microwave technology that cooks … [Read more...]

I can't believe it! I did it! I survived BlogHer '10.

The Moment I Knew | E.P.T. Blog Tour
July 16, 2010 by 11 Comments
Thinking about saving my pregnancy tests often disgusted me (C'mon, you pee on it!) so after using one after finding out I was pregnant, I would just throw it away. Little did I know that I was going to find a long-lost ept test years later. A few weeks ago, I was clearing out my nite stand and I found a miscellaneous envelope. I opened it and I found a pregnancy test that I used for my last child. I forgot to throw the last one away (from my 3rd child) and now regret throwing the first … [Read more...]
