How many times have this happened to you? You wake up craving (and desperately needing) a cup of good strong coffee and you look in the cupboards and there's nothing. You go crazy looking for the canister or in my case, K-cups and still, can't find one. The inevitable happened -- you ran out of K-cups. This has happened to me numerous times. I like to blame "Momnesia" as my friend Divina from Dancinghotdogs.com says. It's amnesia - mommy-style. You forget everything because your … [Read more...]

A few weeks ago, I had the privilege of speaking with Amy Tara Koch, a former trend reporter for NBC and author of the popular pregnancy style book – Bump It Up: Transform Your Pregnancy into the Ultimate Style Statement about traveling tips in the Winter months.

So normally, I do not travel anywhere in the winter months because I'm not a fan of the … [Read more...]

Getting Healthier for 2011 (& A Twitter Party!)
January 18, 2011 by 3 Comments
I have a confession -- I make a few New Years resolutions every year without fail and it always consists of losing weight (particularly losing 20 pounds). Always. This year is different. I did not make not one New Years resolutions. Why? I never follow through. Typically after a few weeks of dieting and exercising, I usually fall off the wagon and I'm back to my usual habits of eating "whatever" and not working out as planned. This year I decided to take charge of my well-being … [Read more...]

December 27, 2010 by Leave a Comment
This past November I was given the opportunity to makeover my fridge with the help of I Can't Believe It's Not Butter. They helped me by providing some useful tools and some very needed information on how to deep clean my fridge and how to store foods. I chose to really deep clean my fridge right before Thanksgiving because my menu was full of delicious meals that would definitely leave leftovers for the weekend so I needed all the room that I can get. With 3 kids, a husband and … [Read more...]

Ramblings: I Threw My Kids Out on My Birthday
December 17, 2010 by 7 Comments
You may think I'm the worst mom in the whole wide world but after you read this, you'll (hopefully) understand. Yesterday was my birthday and my husband took the day off to spend my birthday with me. We didn't plan anything special -- just breakfast at the local diner or lunch at Red Robin. We agreed that we'll go with the flow. The night before, he said that he'd take care of the kids in the morning so I could sleep in and I immediately had a grin from ear to ear. I don't know about … [Read more...]

December 6, 2010 by 14 Comments
(This is an update from this post from last week.) After reading so many heartbreaking posts about not being chosen for the 2011 Disney Social Media Moms Celebration in Disney World and how Disney was not fair with the selection process, I decided to continue my story. I was already mentally preparing myself for the news that lots of other bloggers were receiving so I decided not to check my emails so obsessively like I've been for the past 24 hours. Reason being -- I had not received … [Read more...]
Happy Thanksgiving!
November 25, 2010 by 2 Comments
By now, everyone has eaten their Thanksgiving meal and are probably comatose like my husband. I was almost there but I fought it. Anyway, I wanted to stop and take some time to tell everyone what I'm thankful for this year (in no particular order) This year I'm thankful... For my family - You love and support me unconditionally and are there for me when I need someone to talk to or a shoulder to lean on. For my friends - Both real and virtual. Thank you for being you. And because of … [Read more...]
