"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 – My Two Girls
March 10, 2010 by 28 Comments
I've had a busy week. My daughters birthdays are just days apart (11 yr. old is the 7th and 5 yr. old is today) from each other and I've been feeling overwhelmed lately. Good thing my 11 year old was ok with not having a party this year (last year she had a huge party) so we are celebrating my 5 year old's birthday at good ol' Chuck E Cheese's with all of her friends from school. So happy birthday to my big girl and happy birthday to my little girl. Just know that you will always be … [Read more...]
My Frown is Now Upside Down!
February 25, 2010 by 4 Comments
Thanks to my dear friend, Mariana, whom I've only known for a short time but who is dear to my heart has took (almost) a full day (I can't tell you how appreciative I am of you for doing this) to fix a MAJOR problem on my site for me. Apparently, my site was hacked because I never updated my Wordpress account (don't ever let this happen people!) and my password was the same for 2 years (a huge no-no!). It also messed up my Feedburner email updates so no one was getting my blog updates. It … [Read more...]
My Obsession with Coupons Coincides with my Dreams.
January 22, 2010 by 9 Comments
Cutting coupons has been my obsession for as long as I can remember. Saving money is something I love to do, especially when it means that I can splurge on other things, like lattes and all that good stuff. ;) But when the obsession creeps into my dreams and bad things happen, then there may be a problem. Here’s what happened in my dream: I came in through my door from being out (I have no idea where I came from; the dream started out like that) and noticed my sitter rummaging through my … [Read more...]
Wash Before You Wear!
January 12, 2010 by 3 Comments
This morning when I checked my emails, I noticed an email I received from MomLogic.com (I signed up for their updated newsletters; you should too!) with the title, “New Does Not Mean Clean” and I knew I wanted to read more about it. You see, whenever I would buy clothes for any of my kids, my husband or myself, I like to wash them beforehand so I was definitely intrigued by the title. To be honest, I never liked the smell of brand new clothes, no matter what store I bought them from and I … [Read more...]
Unique Conversations With My 4 Year Old
January 10, 2010 by 6 Comments
My four year old and I have lots of conversations in the car. Some conversations make me laugh and some make me wonder, "where does she hear this stuff from". Anyway, they're all so cute because it lets me me know what she's thinking. Here are two small conversations I just had to share with everyone. It made me laugh out loud because she'll come out and just say some random things. 4 y.o. - Mama, that's a hospital truck, right? Me - Hospital truck? (looking around really quickly … [Read more...]
Goodbye 2009, Hello 2010!
January 4, 2010 by 3 Comments
What a year 2009 has been. It started off badly (financially) for the first six months but things started to "look" good in June so I would have to say 2009 wasn't that great. But thank God things got better. As for the blog, things couldn't be better. I've met so many nice people that I now call "my friends" and I'm so glad I have them in my life (you know who you are). Having this blog has kept me sane like you wouldn't believe. Going through financial stress is hard but when you … [Read more...]
Time To Get Busy!
December 28, 2009 by 4 Comments
It's almost the New Year and with that I decided to make lots of changes, on my blog and in real life. I'm looking into changing the theme/look of the site so it's "clean looking and much more organized". I'm also looking into a part-time job (or full-time, whichever comes first) so I won't be social networking too much but with my iPod touch, I know I'll be in touch with my favorite people, bloggers & of course, Tweeters. And, I'm going to start living my life as a new person. You … [Read more...]

Wordless Wednesday – 2 More Days Til’ Christmas
December 23, 2009 by 4 Comments
I found this picture just a few days ago. I really don't remember taking this picture but I'm so happy I found it. I must've been 12 or 13 years old so it was probably in 1989. I wish I could remember taking this photo but I can't. At least I have the photo to prove it! From our family to yours, hope you have a fantastic holiday! … [Read more...]
