Out of Sight, Out of Mind…
January 28, 2012 by 12 Comments
You're heard of this saying: out of sight, out of mind -- right? That quote says it all about my blogging life as well as my home life. As you may know, I started working full time three months ago. The first month was extremely hectic for me. I was not used to being in an office for eight hours a day AND not being home when the kids arrived from school. I was exhausted. I got sick for three weeks with bronchitis and a nasty cough that would linger all day long. The laundry accumulated. The … [Read more...]
Wordless Wednesday: Trained Monkey #WW
January 24, 2012 by 4 Comments
It's been a while since I posted a Wordless Wednesday and it's one of the easiest posts to write! Right? ;) I call this photo "Trained Monkey" only because it was taken in a metro-North train in NYC AND look at what my daughter is doing. I know I shouldn't let her do this but she's only 6 for a little while ;). Enjoy! … [Read more...]

The holidays are officially over. No more gifts. No more tree. No more mess! Thank goodness. Now it's time for a brand new year. A new slate. As you may know, I'm a very proud owner of a Keurig Brewer. It's basically my lifeline in the morning. I love coffee. I need coffee. And I don't see myself drinking anything else in the morning to get me through the day. That is exactly why I was so happy to be part of an ambassador program from Green Mountain Coffee. I'm one of the K-Cup … [Read more...]

My New Obsession: Zinio For iPad App
December 30, 2011 by 10 Comments
Thanks to my fellow blogger and friend Migdalia from Latina on a Mission for introducing Zinio on her blog. She tweeted about one of her posts showcasing a free subscription of Cosmopolitan for the Zinio app a few weeks ago and I was curious to know what was Zinio all about. Before her post, I never heard of Zinio. And like so many people, when I see the word FREE, I jump at the chance to see if I can get my hands on it. Lol I clicked on her link and there it was -- a full year … [Read more...]

Ramblings: Christmas is Less Than A Week Away!
December 18, 2011 by 7 Comments
Where has the time gone? I started a full-time job on October 24th and things have gone so fast for me. Christmas is less than a week away and I'm still not done with shopping. I actually started last week on Amazon.com and bought a few things for my kids but I still would like to get some little things here and there, you know like stocking stuffers. This year, I'm taking it easy. I'm really just focusing on my kids. And to be honest, that's the way it should be once you have children … [Read more...]
