Nearly 17 million children in America and almost one in four struggle with hunger. With the way this economy has been, more and more families are having a hard time putting healthy food on the table every day. Thankfully, I didn't grow up hungry. My dad had a great job with great benefits and we were never without food. It's sad to know that many children in our country go to bed hungry and don't know where their next meal will come from. The Bread Art Project was created by The Grain … [Read more...]
Invisalign Teen & Mom Blogger Event {& A $500 Discount}
May 6, 2010 by 1 Comment
When I was growing up, I hoped and prayed I would never have the need to wear braces. I made sure I took care of my teeth by brushing them twice a day and pushing my front teeth inward to prevent an overbite - I figured I was doing the same job as braces (obsessed, I know!). Thank goodness I was blessed with straight teeth (with a slight overbite) and never needed braces. I'm sure my parents were relieved too. I, on the other hand, have different issues. My 13 year old son needs braces and … [Read more...]

“There’s An App for That”: New York City Edition
May 1, 2010 by Leave a Comment
Apple has turned iPhone/iPod Touch users crazy with literally thousands of apps available to download. Whether it’s free or a hundred bucks, people are going nuts over apps. Ever since I got my new iPod Touch for my birthday, I have been going “app crazy” too. I can’t help it. I have apps for games, social media, emails, coupons, recipes and even apps for everything in New York City. The list can go on and on. The best apps, in my opinion, are the ones that are free because if you don’t … [Read more...]
Social Fiesta | The First Latina Party At BlogHer
April 29, 2010 by 4 Comments
This year I'm excited about BlogHer because it will be in New York City (Go New York!) which also means that I will finally be able to attend my very first blog conference. Since I started blogging two years ago, I have always wanted to attend a blogging conference to meet other bloggers, learn the ropes of blogging the "right" way (make some $$, gain traffic & learn how to social network) and of course, to get away for a couple of days. ;) BlogHer '10 is especially exciting for … [Read more...]

Letting my kids get dirty is something I fail at doing. I have 3 kids and I can't help but cringe when I see them get dirty when they play outside. I think about the stains that will be on their nice clothes and how hard I have to scrub to try to remove them. This past Tuesday, my daughter and I were invited to an event in New York City to check out Sun Product's newest laundry detergent called All Oxi-Active laundry detergent. It is a 2-in-1 detergent that has an advanced cleaning power … [Read more...]
I’m Doing My Part, Are you?
April 23, 2010 by 2 Comments
Yesterday was Earth Day so it was a great day for yard work, which my husband and I did. After a few hours of working, we started to get hungry so we decided to go to TGI Fridays for lunch. After we filled our bellies with a delicious lunch, we headed out to Lowe's for some water filters for our fridge and sink. The reason we wanted to purchase water filters is because we want to treat Mother Earth the way she should be treated - with respect and with less trash. We buy a case of … [Read more...]
Simply… Go-Gurt Yogurt – Review & Giveaway
April 22, 2010 by
***GIVEAWAY ENDED*** Winner is CONGRATULATIONS DENISE!!!!!! Growing up, yogurt was not a staple in my house. Since my mom did not eat it, she didn't buy it. So since she didn't like it, she thought I wouldn't either. She was right - to an extent. The first time I tried it, I hated it. It was something I never wanted to eat again until I tried it in a smoothie. The smoothie was delicious with bananas, pineapple, strawberries, milk & of course, the star - strawberry flavored … [Read more...]
