A huge thanks goes out to Jai from Mami's Time Out for giving me that extra push to post more on the blog! Go check out her fabulous blog on the link. I can honestly say that I am overly obsessed with cooking shows. Whether it's from the Cooking Channel, Food Network or even YouTube, I can watch food shows all day, everyday. I love to watch people cook. It relaxes me and it justs puts me in a zen mood. I even have a few chefs that I can watch all day long too. They include: Bobby Flay, Giada … [Read more...]
Celebrating the Arrival of Ice Age: Collision Course w/ Cosmic Cupcakes & a Movie Giveaway! #ScratInSpace #CollisionCourse
October 7, 2016 by 16 Comments
Disclosure: I am a FOX Home Entertainment Insider and receive products for review. All opinions are always my own. I attempted to create cosmic cupcakes to celebrate the arrival of Ice Age: Collision Course on Blu-ray, DVD and 4K Ultra, which comes out on October 11th, but since I'm not very creative, they didn't turn out as good as I would had liked. I thought I was all set to make cupcakes to replicate the top of this movie poster (down below) but I guess I was wrong. Having the right … [Read more...]
Weekend Getaway to Hershey Park in the 2017 Mitsubishi Mirage G4 SE #DriveMitsubishi #HersheyPark
September 6, 2016 by 5 Comments
Disclaimer: Thanks to Drive Shop and Mitsubishi, I was given the opportunity to test drive the 2017 Mitsubishi Mirage G4 SE for one full week. All opinions are 100% my own. No monetary compensation was received. I'm accustomed to driving an SUV since I've owned a Kia Sorento for nine years so I wasn't quite excited about driving around in a Mitsubishi Mirage for a week. Although I was definitely grateful to Drive Shop for providing the Mirage for our Hershey Park road trip, I really … [Read more...]
Back-To-School Shopping with the 2016 Mazda CX-9 Signature AWD @MazdaUSA #DriveMazda #DriveShop
August 31, 2016 by 1 Comment
Disclaimer: Thanks to Drive Shop and Mazda, I was given the opportunity to test drive the 2016 Mazda CX-9 for one whole week. All opinions are 100% my own. I dread back-to-school shopping every year like the plague! The running around, trying to score deals, comparing prices and the crowds are not my thing at all. Heck - walking though the mall is not my thing neither but it's inevitable. It's something I must do. I don't want my kids going back to school with nothing. What kind of mother … [Read more...]
Coming Together As A Family with @Netflix #Streamteam #ad
August 25, 2016 by Leave a Comment
There's no doubt in my mind that when a family is close-knit, good things can and will happen. Family movie night. Car-ride duets. Weekend dance fests. The best moments happen when the family comes together -- and much of that happens over music and entertainment. It’s why 40% of families say they routinely watch all sorts of shows together. It’s also why you grow nostalgic for the music your parents loved and eventually want to pass it down to your kids as well. With the new … [Read more...]
You Can Actually Learn New Things From @Netflix #StreamTeam
July 22, 2016 by Leave a Comment
Yes, it's true! You CAN learn new things from Netflix. Whether it's from these specific shows such as Octonauts, Project Mc2, The Mr. Peabody & Sherman Show or Chef’s Table, Netflix shows teach our families some Trivial Pursuit-worthy stuff. You’ll be scratching your head in awe wondering how your Little Einsteins picked up some of the weirdest, quirkiest tidbits. I can honestly say that I've learned how to survive in a jail cell thanks to the show "Orange Is The New Black" but that … [Read more...]
Driving Around in a 2016 Mazda CX-5 Grand Touring #DriveShop #DriveMazda
June 29, 2016 by Leave a Comment
Disclaimer: Thanks to Drive Shop and Mazda, I was given the opportunity to test drive the 2016 Mazda CX-5 for one whole week. All opinions are 100% my own. Last week, I had the amazing privilege to test drive this blue beauty: A 2016 Mazda CX-5 for a full seven days. I test drove one other vehicle a few years back, so I was beyond excited to test drive this sporty crossover since we are in the market to either purchase or lease a new vehicle within the next year … [Read more...]
Where Do You Watch Netflix? #StreamTeam
June 25, 2016 by Leave a Comment
........In the bathroom? Under the covers? Where have you done it? C'mon, you can tell me. Do you really think every Netflix user decides to watch their favorite shows or movies on the couch? Or in the comfort of their own bed? Think again. There's the garage, the car, the bathroom, on the train and so on. You get the picture. I'm one who not only watches Netflix in the living room and my bedroom but I also watch it in the kitchen. Yes, the kitchen! Where else? ;) Catching up on … [Read more...]
A Relaxing Weekend at Mount Airy Casino Resort #MountAiry #MtAiry #MountAiryResort #ad
May 24, 2016 by Leave a Comment
Disclosure: Complimentary lodging, meals and entertainment were provided by Mount Airy Casino Resort in exchange for my honest review. No other compensation was received. If you ask me, I believe all married couples need some time away from all the stress of everyday life from time to time, especially when kids are involved. Don't get me wrong, I love my kids with all my heart and soul but there are times when I just need some alone time with my honey bunny without any distractions. We. … [Read more...]
How @Netflix Can Help with Those Difficult Parent/Child Conversations. #StreamTeam
May 9, 2016 by 2 Comments
Disclosure: This post is sponsored by Netflix as a part of my participation on the Netflix Stream Team. All opinions are always my own. With practically everyone owning a smartphone and pretty much having an account to every social media channel known to man, there are always a ton of issues that will arise one way or another with our kids -- whether we'd like to admit it or not. That's just life. It is what it is. I'm glad that Netflix has stepped in and is now hosting a variety of … [Read more...]
