I was six years old when my mother bought me my very first Strawberry Shortcake doll. The hair was the main reason why I wanted the doll. Strawberry Shortcake's hair smelled divine. The sweet scent of her hair smelled just like strawberries. Plus, I thought she was the most beautiful doll with gorgeous, bright red hair. Fast forward thirty-something years and Strawberry Shortcake … [Read more...]

July 4, 2012 by 464 Comments
School's been out for a few weeks here in New York and my kids are becoming "Summer Bums." They want to sleep in, stay indoors (they are complaining it's too hot -- Hello! It's Summer!) and just play video games. Well, I surprised them when I told them I would give them each a weekly packet they would have to complete for this summer. They whined, complained and they gave me the evil eye. I don't care. I know it's summer and they have had a hectic year trying to get good grades but it's … [Read more...]
How Fun Are You? Keurig Wants to Know! | Plus, Enter To Win A Keurig Brewer! #YourPerfectCup
March 25, 2012 by 58 Comments
I've been told by my seven year old that I'm a "Fun Mom." I can't help but ask her if she thinks I'm fun when I send her to her room to clean it or when I tell her we can have breakfast for dinner. Needless to say, she disagrees with her own statement when I mention her room. I don't quite see myself as a "Fun Mom" as often as I should. I guess it's because I have too much on my mind, like say, REALITY -- bills, chores, cooking, cleaning -- all that good stuff us moms go through. The … [Read more...]
