This year I'm excited about BlogHer because it will be in New York City (Go New York!) which also means that I will finally be able to attend my very first blog conference. Since I started blogging two years ago, I have always wanted to attend a blogging conference to meet other bloggers, learn the ropes of blogging the "right" way (make some $$, gain traffic & learn how to social network) and of course, to get away for a couple of days. ;) BlogHer '10 is especially exciting for … [Read more...]
Sun Products Introduces The New All Oxi-Active Laundry Detergent in NYC
April 24, 2010 by 5 Comments
Letting my kids get dirty is something I fail at doing. I have 3 kids and I can't help but cringe when I see them get dirty when they play outside. I think about the stains that will be on their nice clothes and how hard I have to scrub to try to remove them. This past Tuesday, my daughter and I were invited to an event in New York City to check out Sun Product's newest laundry detergent called All Oxi-Active laundry detergent. It is a 2-in-1 detergent that has an advanced cleaning power … [Read more...]

Last Friday, my sister and I ventured out to Hoboken, N.J. to pick up her birthday cake. She wanted no other cake but from Carlo's Bake Shop. After we picked up the cake, we headed out to the city to celebrate her last year being in her twenties at Iguana's Cafe in New York City with our friends and family. Below are a few of the MANY photos we took on Friday. Enjoy! We had a fabulous time with our family and friends. It was great to end the night with a great piece of cake too. … [Read more...]

Where can you get in a chocolate coma and drink unlimited, delicious Gallo wine? Can't think of anywhere, huh? Me neither! ;) I was so thankful and excited to be invited to an afternoon of indulgent moments hosted by DOVE and iVillage last month. I wrote about the event a few days before the festivities and was happy a few of the people that commented enjoyed their time there as well. Once I got to Chelsea market, I found a few friends (Ofelia, Tracey & Issa) that were there … [Read more...]
Nickelodeon Presents Nick Jr. Storytime Live!
April 2, 2010 by
This past Wednesday, I took the kids to see Nick Jr. Storytime Live! at Radio City Music Hall, courtesy of MSG. Before the show had started, we were able to have a meet & greet with two characters, Tyrone & Tasha from the show, The Backyardigans. My daughter was skeptical about taking photos with "people in costumes" (her words) so I decided to pose with them instead. The show consists of four different stories with Kai Lan, The Backyardigans, The Wonder Pets and Dora the … [Read more...]

Last week I was invited to an event that was sponsored by Ragu® pasta sauce for their "Feed Your Kids Well - Recipe For A Good Start" campaign. It was a private event that I was excited to be a part of because my family and I love Ragu® pasta sauce. We use it for a lot of our meals and for each half cup of sauce is a whole serving of vegetables, which is perfect for two picky kids in our household. Upon arriving, I couldn't help but notice the smells that permeated the air. My daughter … [Read more...]

Disclosure: We were given two tickets to see Sesame Street Live: When Elmo Grows Up by Madison Square Garden. No other compensation was given.

My four year old was ecstatic that she was going to see her favorite characters (Elmo & Cookie Monster) on stage. This was a huge surprise for her because she didn't know anything … [Read more...]

In the beginning of December, I was invited to an event with Julie Mulligan, Jim McCann, the CEO and Founder of 1-800-Flowers.com and several people from the 1-800-Flowers.com team. The event was meant to teach a few bloggers how to create a holiday flower tree centerpiece using different types of flowers and decorations. I've always been a 1-800-Flowers.com fan ever since I can remember. I've sent my mother, a few aunts and my grandmother bouquets for Mother's Day almost every year and … [Read more...]
