We Remember – 9 Years Later – 9/11
September 11, 2010 by 2 Comments
"New York City will never be the same again." Every year since the 9/11 tragedy, there are tons of wounds being reopened after another year has gone by. It's so sad how it happened. I remember that day like it was yesterday. The thing that really gets me teary is when they read each and every name out loud. Somehow my eyes tear with almost every name that is announced. I'll be honest, I don't watch the whole tribute, it's just too sad to watch it so I keep myself busy spending time … [Read more...]
James and The Giant Peach: Special Edition | Review
August 12, 2010 by Leave a Comment
I recently had the opportunity to review James and the Giant Peachon blu-ray. I can't believe it's been 14 years since it was out in the theaters. I was pregnant with my son and decided to take my little sisters to see the movie. My sisters loved the movie but I wasn't too fond of it. Was it because I was pregnant and my hormones were out of whack or was it just a movie I didn't like? I don't know. Fast forward 14 years later, I decided to give the movie another try but with my kids this … [Read more...]

While the kids played in the play area, the parents/bloggers learned how True Cook Plus works, which is a microwave technology that cooks … [Read more...]

The Good and The Bad of BlogHer ’10 – August 6-7
August 9, 2010 by 22 Comments
I can't believe it! I did it! I survived BlogHer '10. If you haven't heard what BlogHer is (who hasn't?), it's a blogging conference where women (& some dad bloggers too) gather together and share their views and opinions on anything and everything through their blogs. They blog about parenting, cooking, places to see and eat, traveling -- basically anything you can think of, someone is blogging about it. The conference is an event that happens once a year since 2005 and it consists of … [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...]
