Can you believe it's been 11 years since The Muppets last big-screen feature film? When I was a little girl, I grew up with all the Muppets so I get nostalgic just by looking at my daughter fall in love with the Muppets. I think during the Muppets is when I learned about obsession. As we all know, Miss Piggy loved Kermit so much, so much that she was obsessed. But she did love when Kermit would take charge. It was hilarious and all around the cutest thing ever! When Disney flew me (along … [Read more...]
Having Breakfast with Food Network’s Aaron McCargo, Jr. and Aunt Jemima
Last month, I was invited to have breakfast with Food Network's Aaron McCargo, courtesy of Aunt Jemima. You may not know this but I'm completely obsessed with the Food Network.

I first saw Aaron McCargo when he was on the show called Food Network Star back in 2008. He actually won the grand prize of having his own show. I was rooting for him since … [Read more...]

Freestyle Music: Forever in my Heart
Like many Freestyle music lovers, freestyle music is my heart and soul. I grew up listening to KTU on the radio and buying cassette tapes so I can listen in the comfort of my apartment back in the 80's and early 90's. Ever since I could remember, I have loved all types of music, specifically any music I can dance my butt off to. I loved Michael Jackson, Diana Ross, Lionel Ritchie, Cyndi Lauper and even a little bit of Rock & Roll but the music that stays in my heart is definitely … [Read more...]

Celebrate Mother’s Day With Curious George
Curious George is the famous monkey on one of my favorite channels as a child, PBS - channel 13. I remember watching Curious George and wishing I had a monkey just like him.
