(Note: Post is long with photos & video so please make sure to check those out! Thanks.) Waking up at 6 am is something I usually don't like doing in the summer. I'm a wahm (p/t) so the summer days for us are also lazy days. We go to sleep late from watching TV, movies or playing games and usually the kids are sleeping til 9am. This past Tuesday was exceptionally different. Several days ago I received an invitation from a representative of Tide detergent about the upcoming advanced … [Read more...]

July 21, 2010 by 7 Comments
It was all about my girls yesterday at Madison Square Park. They had a once-in-a-lifetime experience they will never forget. They both met two of their favorite actresses: Selena Gomez & Joey King. Both photos above "almost" didn't happen. Read on to find out what happened. The first one with Selena: I respectfully asked one of the bodyguards if I can take a pic of my girls with Selena, he replied back with a firm no but seconds later, Selena decided to say c'mon girls, and I took the … [Read more...]
Special Offers For IKEA Lovers (NY/NJ)
July 12, 2010 by 5 Comments
When I first moved in with my husband (back when we were boyfriend/girlfriend) we fell in love with IKEA's style so basically our whole apartment came from IKEA. The furniture was cheap, pretty good quality and very hip and stylish. Everyone that would come over loved every piece of furniture, bookcase and/or picture frame. They couldn't believe it all came from IKEA. I wanted to share with all of you that IKEA is having two great promotions going on this week. One will be held in their … [Read more...]
Look Out World, Here I come: New York Adventure Kit | Review
July 5, 2010 by 1 Comment
A few months ago, I was sent Look Out World, Here I Come: New York Adventure Kit for my 5 year old daughter. It wasn't until just a few weeks that we actually took a look at it and I'm so upset that we didn't see it sooner. Living in New York has made us appreciate the city even more now. If you're planning a getaway to the Big Apple and you have young children, this 36-page activity-filled, city-themed book is perfect. It also comes with a DVD so New York City comes alive right before … [Read more...]

Guest Post: June is National Candy Month
June 24, 2010 by

Her blog is called My Life..Simple & Beautiful. Since June is National Candy Month and maybe because I … [Read more...]
Movie Review: When in Rome
June 22, 2010 by 5 Comments
Over the weekend, my hubby and I had an evening to ourselves. The kids went into another room to see some shows on tv while the "lovebirds" (aka hubby & I) sat on the sofa like a couple of teenagers in love. Every time I see a romantic comedy, I get all excited. It's my favorite type of movie. I get my pillow and blanket ready to get comfy on the sofa. It's "my" tradition when it's movie time at our house. I was really looking forward to seeing When in Rome because it came from the … [Read more...]
