My son got this shirt from Hot Topic yesterday. I didn't get to see what he bought (I gave him his space and waited outside) until he washed it last night. I don't know why he decided on buying this shirt but I feel it may start some controversy at school. What do you think? FYI: My husband and I are not too thrilled about the shirt... … [Read more...]
Back-To-School Shopping With Burlington Coat Factory & Win a $50 Gift Card! #BurlingtonBargain
September 3, 2012 by 184 Comments
As a mom of three, I am always on the look out for great bargains. With the way this economy has been lately, money can go like water. And like I tell my husband, these kids suck us dry and let me tell you, they sure do. So we tend to shop when there's a huge sale or just head to Burlington Coat Factory for some new and cool brand name items. With the first day of school quickly approaching (my kids go back Sept 6th), Burlington Coat Factory sent me on a Back-to-school challenge with a $100 … [Read more...]
My Weekend Was Filled with Birthdays, Cannoli Cake and Medieval Times!
September 3, 2012 by Leave a Comment
What a weekend! I barely had any time to socialize online because I was busy hanging out with my lovely family enjoying two birthdays, delicious cannoli cake and Medieval Times. This past Saturday was my son's 16th birthday! I can not believe I am a mother of a sixteen year old. It feels like just yesterday when I had him and now poof, he's turned into this wonderful young man. Sniff, sniff. My husband and I wanted his 16th birthday to be extra special so we decided to go to Medieval Times … [Read more...]

Enjoying The Last Days of Summer with Arbor Mist Frozen Wine Cocktails {Review}
August 16, 2012 by 4 Comments
Can you believe it? I hate to say it but summertime is on its last legs and Fall will be upon us before we know it. That is exactly why I’m taking full advantage of the end of Summer with Arbor Mist Frozen Wine Cocktails but first let me tell you a funny story. When I was approached to review the Arbor Mist Frozen Wine Cocktails, I was skeptical (as usual) at first. You see, I’m not a wine drinker. I like those “girly” drinks like Cosmopolitans, Piña Coladas and even a beer here and there! If … [Read more...]
Back To School with New Balance Footwear
August 11, 2012 by 7 Comments
Not too long ago, I was invited to a preview event to check out the latest footwear from New Balance. It was held in one of their showrooms in New York City and on a day I could not make it. So the wonderful PR company who represents New Balance, sent two pairs of the Minumus 20 Trail New Balance shoes for my girls to review. We are no strangers to the New Balance brand. I’ve bought New Balance footwear many times before. I love the brand because they are always stylish (just look how … [Read more...]
