Finding Out If You’re Pregnant Just Got Better #ClearblueConfirmed #Ad

Disclosure: This post is part of a sponsorship with BabyCenter and Clearblue. All thoughts and opinions expressed here are 100% my own. Ever since I was a little girl, I always knew I wanted to start a family at an early age. I remember a conversation I had with a friend in fourth grade about having kids. We talked about our future kids and what we wanted to have first. Yeah, I know it wasn’t quite normal having that type of conversation in fourth grade but it was something I knew I would … [Read more...]

Wordless Wednesday – City Island Fun (#linky)

I was looking through my photos yesterday and decided it was a good time to transfer my precious photos to my portable drive.  There has been too many close calls with my computer and my husband is blaming my blogging for mishaps. I couldn't agree with him more. Blogging and reading other blogs leaves the computer vulnerable to viruses and such so please be careful everyone. Ok, so I did say this was a "Wordless" Wednesday so let me just show you the pics I chose for this week ;): These … [Read more...]

Monday Memories: Apple Picking at DuBois Farms in Highland, NY

Earlier today I was looking through my picture files and I can not believe it's been two years since the last time we went apple picking. I love picking fresh fruit and smelling the fresh air through the orchards. I need to make a mental note and plan our next apple picking outing. Check out a few photos I took at Dubois Farms in 2008. It's a wonderful place where you can pick your own fruit from apples, pears, grapes, peaches and pumpkins, drink apple cider and eat delicious apple cider … [Read more...]

My Day At The Hudson Valley Garlic Festival

Today I took my girls to the Hudson Valley Garlic Festival in Saugerties, New York. It was a beautiful day to walk around in the fresh air that was infused by garlic everywhere. I don't know about you but I am in love with garlic. I add garlic to almost every meal. If you know me and have had the chance to be THISCLOSE to me ;), chances are I probably smell like a garlic clove, which is ok by me.  Garlic is good stuff.  It's good for the body (lowers your cholesterol, regulates your blood … [Read more...]

Wordless Wednesday – A Piece of History, A Piece of My Childhood, Almost Gone!

I'm speechless. I don't know what to say. I could not help but noticed what's being done to the old Yankee Stadium.  I'm shocked! I had to take pictures while waiting at a red light heading to my mom's house. I knew this day would come but to see it in real life, it's just blows my mind. A piece of history will soon be gone forever. A piece of my childhood will soon be gone forever. Damn, I feel old and depressed looking at these pictures.  I wonder what my Dad is saying in … [Read more...]

Mom Of A Teenager

My son is 13 years old today. I can't believe this. It's official. I'm a mom of a teenager! I know I'm not that old but I sure do feel old.  I was 21 when I had him. I can still remember the day I found out I was pregnant.  I bought a pregnancy test at a pharmacy store on Central Ave. in Yonkers, NY.  My boyfriend (my husband now) and I decided to eat lunch at Nathan's not far away.  After we ate, I told him that I wanted to take the test.  He wanted me to wait until we got home.  … [Read more...]
