Book Review: ‘We Made You Out Of Love’
April 20, 2012 by 2 Comments
Do you have little ones asking that common dreaded question, 'Where did I come from?' I have three kids and each of them have asked that over and over again. Recently I was sent 'We Made You Out Of Love' to review and although I don't usually review books here, I decided to post about the book being that my seven-year-old REALLY enjoyed it. 'We made You Out Of Love' was written by authors, Michael Marconi and board certified pediatrician, Dr Greg Marconi, who both wanted to help parents … [Read more...]
So You Think You Can Bagpipe? #DisneyPixarEvent
April 15, 2012 by 3 Comments
This was one of the activities Disney/Pixar had planned for us while touring Pixar Studios. We learned everything there is to know about bagpipes -- from the history, to the music and even the various songs you can play. Since we inhaled so much information in a short amount of time, I thought it would be a good idea to get my Flip Cam out and record it instead. I know the video is long (not too bad - 4-1/2 minutes) but it's well worth it. Enjoy! Disclosure: Disney provided me with an … [Read more...]

iPhone 4s: Unexpected Laughs with Siri (*For Mature Audiences ONLY*)
April 13, 2012 by 9 Comments
I recently got into the "Smartphone Craze" and bought myself an iPhone 4s. I know, I know, it's about time! You should've have seen my dinosaur phone before. It was a Samsung basic phone with a slide querty keyboard -- in other words, a crap phone! The iPhone has been a phone I've been longing to own for quite some time and I can't believe I'm finally an iPhone owner. And now that I have it, I can't let it go. I'm constantly trying out new apps, texting, and checking out my new addiction, … [Read more...]
From New York to San Francisco: Pixar Studios, Footage of Brave & La Luna! #DisneyPixarEvent
April 12, 2012 by 6 Comments
Last week, I attended the Disney/Pixar Press Event in sunny San Francisco and it still feels like a dream. As I look at all the photos I took, my mind is going a mile a minute from all that we did in just three short days. DAY ONE: Upon my arrival at SFO (San Francisco Airport), I met with other bloggers in a van to head straight to our "home" for the next few days, Hotel Palomar. Once we got to the hotel, I couldn't wait to visit Pixar Studios but thank goodness we had about an hour to … [Read more...]
Wordless Wednesday: Pixar Studios #DisneyPixarEvent
April 4, 2012 by 3 Comments
I'm in San Francisco today and because of the time difference, I almost forgot today was Wednesday. I'm not feeling too well. I either have allergies or a head cold so my nose is stuffed and my ears are clogged, thanks to the plane descending. I hear everything muffled and I'm a bit miserable. But before I keep rambling on, here's my photo of the week! Enjoy! … [Read more...]

Aaah, the smell of Spring is in the air. Flowers are blooming, grass is getting greener, birds are chirping and the Cherry Blossoms are in full bloom. Check out a photo I took with my brand, new iPhone 4S on the way to the mall. Can you smell the flowers? ;-) Enjoy your Wednesday! … [Read more...]
How Fun Are You? Keurig Wants to Know! | Plus, Enter To Win A Keurig Brewer! #YourPerfectCup
March 25, 2012 by 58 Comments
I've been told by my seven year old that I'm a "Fun Mom." I can't help but ask her if she thinks I'm fun when I send her to her room to clean it or when I tell her we can have breakfast for dinner. Needless to say, she disagrees with her own statement when I mention her room. I don't quite see myself as a "Fun Mom" as often as I should. I guess it's because I have too much on my mind, like say, REALITY -- bills, chores, cooking, cleaning -- all that good stuff us moms go through. The … [Read more...]
