Ring in the New Year with Healthy Essentials at the #Moms4JNJConsumer Twitter Party 1/14, 1p ET #ad

Disclosure: This post is part of the HEALTHY ESSENTIALS® 2014 program by Johnson & Johnson Consumer Companies, Inc. and The Motherhood, who sent me a box of products and compensated me for my time. Opinions, experiences and photos shared here are all my own, and I hope you enjoy them. Have you made any New year's resolutions? I haven't. I don't want to put too much pressure on myself so I have set out goals instead of resolutions. It's the only way I can keep it up. My goals are to eat … [Read more...]

Last Post of The Year – Goodbye 2012, Hello 2013!

I know this blog has had many crickets these past few months. It's not my fault. I still love to blog.  But it's just that I'm one tired mommy who wants to come home after a hard day's work and just spend time with my family.  And the funny part is that I have about 20 titles ready for my little ol' blog so it's not like I don't have anything to say here -- I have LOTS to say. I just need time. Time is a major factor for me.  I'm sure it's a major factor for everyone but some people know … [Read more...]

Special K Resolution Challenge: I Stepped on a Scale in Times Square!

Yes, I did. For once this wasn't your typical scale with numbers that tell you your weight -- instead it was a scale that showed each individual inspirational words or phrases.  Now if it were a "real" scale with numbers, then that would be a whole other story but it wasn't so bad stepping on a scale in front of people in Times Square.  It was quite liberating to be honest. The Special K Team was there to launch their "What will you gain when you lose" campaign to help women get inspired … [Read more...]

Goodbye 2009, Hello 2010!

What a year 2009 has been. It started off  badly (financially) for the first six months but things started to "look" good in June so I would have to say 2009 wasn't that great. But thank God things got better. As for the blog, things couldn't be better.  I've met so many nice people that I now call "my friends" and I'm so glad I have them in my life (you know who you are).  Having this blog has kept me sane like you wouldn't believe.  Going through financial stress is hard but when you … [Read more...]
