I'll admit it, I can be sassy at times but guess what? I'm a girl and I can be. It's just a privilege us girls have that men would never understand. Right ladies? lol So I took the liberty in "borrowing" one my sister's photos she took while in Amsterdam. I think every woman should own a tee like this one below! Maybe I'll make an order to be a proud owner of one. ;) Have a SASSY SATURDAY!! … [Read more...]
The Moment I Knew | E.P.T. Blog Tour
July 16, 2010 by 11 Comments
Thinking about saving my pregnancy tests often disgusted me (C'mon, you pee on it!) so after using one after finding out I was pregnant, I would just throw it away. Little did I know that I was going to find a long-lost ept test years later. A few weeks ago, I was clearing out my nite stand and I found a miscellaneous envelope. I opened it and I found a pregnancy test that I used for my last child. I forgot to throw the last one away (from my 3rd child) and now regret throwing the first … [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...]
Clarins Foot Beauty Treatment Cream | Review

Summer is officially here! The air is warm, the sun is beaming bright and the flowers have bloomed beautifully. It's time to put away those sneakers and boots and get those dry, cracked heels in tip-top shape to sport those cool flip flops and nice looking sandals. I don't know about you but I've seen my share of ugly dry cracked heels. I could not wear my sandals if my heels looked like that - no way! My husband wouldn't let me live the day either. He is the one to let me know if … [Read more...]

Wordless Wednesday – My Favorite Childhood TV Show {Linky}
July 7, 2010 by 8 Comments
This is by far one the best things I saw while in Washington, DC. The Smithsonian has it on display next to other icons like Fonzie's jacket, the original Kermit the Frog puppet and even Dorothy's ruby red slippers. These two chairs brought back so many memories. You see, my dad used to watch All in the Family every week and right along side him was me, watching it also. Now my kids watch it with my husband and I and we all laugh and have a good time. Makes me wish I could have just one … [Read more...]

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...]
