Wordless Wednesday – The Ants Go Marching…

While I was picking up my kids mess in the bathroom, I spotted an ant. I grabbed a book that my daughter left on the floor and this is what I grabbed to kill the little bastard. How funny! I absolutely did not know that book was in the bathroom. I guess since we've been finding ants in the house, my daughter decided to leave this book in the bathroom and read it while she handles business. For more Wordless Wednesday and to participate, go to Momspective for great photos & 5 … [Read more...]

Wanna improve your relationship?

Last Saturday, my sister, my girls and I were on the bus to go to her house after having a fabulous day in the city (post coming soon).  My sister pointed out a billboard that was up above the windows on the bus. When I first saw it, I thought it was just for married people. I didn't know it would be a site for so much more. If you want to improve your relationship with your other half, this site is perfect for the two of you. If you're a parent, dating someone, engaged, living … [Read more...]

I always get burned!

When it comes to cooking, most of the time I get burned.  Since I'm trying to do so many things at once,  sometimes I forget that the pots are hot. Oh and don't get me started on breaking fights/arguments, telling my kids to keep it down or even hearing my 4 year old cry about something.  I'm lucky to have dinner in less than an hour most days. Yesterday when I was cooking dinner, my daughter started talking to me about school, which isn't an unusual thing.   She loves to talk about school … [Read more...]

Swine Flu Update.

Remember this post? It's the one I was complaining about a student that was kept private in the school district my kids go to. Well, I found out today that it was not one, not two but three students that were diagnosed with the Swine Flu AND they go to the same school as my son (my oldest) and my daughter (my youngest). I was shocked! They are from the same family.  The two older children go to the same school as my son and the youngest goes to the same nursery my daughter goes … [Read more...]

EA SPORTS Active – Day 4

Thank goodness yesterday was my rest day because my lower body was SCREAMING with soreness.  I couldn't believe how sore I was.  Every time I would sit down, I could feel my leg muscles burning.  It was uncomfortable but well worth it.  I can't wait until my body is lean and toned. I am so happy I was given the opportunity to try this out to see for myself if it can actually melt off the fat and tone your body. People, it actually works!  I can tell already with just 3 workouts! Since I … [Read more...]

This is crazy!

Yesterday when I was reading the newspaper, something I read really shocked me. It said a student from the school district my children go to had the Swine Flu and has recovered. I said to myself, WHAT?  I couldn't believe my eyes so I read it again because I was completely shocked. Here's the shocker! The thing is we won't know which school this student goes to because they are not releasing the name of the school that he/she attends. Isn't that crazy?! I don't understand this at … [Read more...]

My favorite mom saying won!

I couldn't believe when I received the email fromLeTop.  It said, "Congratulations on your recent win on your favorite mom sayings"  I was so excited! It was a secret Twitter - only contest and I decided to enter just for the fun of it.  I sent them what I usually say to my family.  I had no idea I would win although I was hoping to. I was so glad I entered. It all started several years ago when my son couldn't find something in the refrigerator.  I forgot what it was but I know it was … [Read more...]

Ever heard of the Wedding Fairy?

I was sent an email containing the riddle below.  It's so true and funny at the same time. Enjoy! WEDDING FAIRY A married couple in their early 60 ' s were celebrating their 40th Wedding Anniversary in a quiet, romantic little restaurant.... Suddenly, a tiny yet beautiful fairy appeared on their table. She said, "For being such an exemplary married couple and for being loving to each other for all this time, I will grant you each … [Read more...]

EA SPORTS Active Event in NYC

I hope everyone had a great Memorial Day weekend.  I had a nice, kind-of relaxing weekend.  I spent all weekend cleaning, organizing, fixing and moving furniture (hubby did the moving but I supervised, lol). I've been meaning to publish this post all week but I haven't had the time to finish so finally, here it is. Last Monday, I attended the EA SPORTS Active event in New York City. The event was held at the Marriott Marquis Hotel on Times Square.  First of all, the hotel is fabulous. It … [Read more...]
