A brand new Disney movie is making it's debut on DVD and Blu-ray next Tuesday September 21st. It's called Tinker Bell and The Great Fairy Rescue. Ever since I was a little girl I have loved Tinker Bell and now my two daughters love her as well -- my 5 year old especially. She has watched this movie already 6 times. It's her new favorite. Spoiler alert: My favorite part was when the father found out the real truth and stopped doubting Lizzy. That father and daughter moment made me tear up … [Read more...]

Tips On Keeping Your Mascara On Your Lashes
August 26, 2010 by 3 Comments
I don't normally blog about beauty because there are tons of beauty blogs out in the blogosphere that I frequent and I learn from them but I think I should at least write posts about things that I do that makes my "beauty time" easier, right? I've been using mascara since I had my son. I was never really into eye makeup before then, just a little eye liner. I was once told that adding mascara to your lashes will make your eyes stand out and they were definitely right. I love mascara but … [Read more...]
Re-imagine Wool, The Ramblers Way
July 24, 2010 by Leave a Comment
This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Ramblers Way. All opinions are 100% mine. When I hear the word "wool" I think about the sweaters that were given to me during the holidays that were hot, heavy, itchy or most of the time, all three. I've had my share of wool sweaters that have collected dust in my closet and have gotten sent to the Salvation Army because I could not bear with the feel of the fabric. At this very moment, I don't own anything that is wool except for a coat … [Read more...]
Clarins Foot Beauty Treatment Cream | Review

Summer is officially here! The air is warm, the sun is beaming bright and the flowers have bloomed beautifully. It's time to put away those sneakers and boots and get those dry, cracked heels in tip-top shape to sport those cool flip flops and nice looking sandals. I don't know about you but I've seen my share of ugly dry cracked heels. I could not wear my sandals if my heels looked like that - no way! My husband wouldn't let me live the day either. He is the one to let me know if … [Read more...]

July 5, 2010 by 1 Comment
A few months ago, I was sent Look Out World, Here I Come: New York Adventure Kit for my 5 year old daughter. It wasn't until just a few weeks that we actually took a look at it and I'm so upset that we didn't see it sooner. Living in New York has made us appreciate the city even more now. If you're planning a getaway to the Big Apple and you have young children, this 36-page activity-filled, city-themed book is perfect. It also comes with a DVD so New York City comes alive right before … [Read more...]

Word Up with WordGirl: Earth Day Girl! – Review
March 30, 2010 by Leave a Comment
PBS Kids is one channel I don't mind my daughter watching at any given day. What's not to love about shows that teaches kids how to spell, learn new words and see some bad guys get justice. WordGirl is a new animated series that follows the every day life and superhero adventures of "WordGirl" along with her monkey sidekick Captain Huggy Face, as she fights crime, quirky villains and enriches vocabulary usage, all in a day's work. The best part of WordGirl is that she is well-mannered 5th … [Read more...]
Crisco Olive Oil Review and Giveaway
March 29, 2010 by
Extra-Virgin Olive Oil has been a staple in my kitchen (and my mom's) for many years. Growing up, my mom used to serve the family boiled potatoes, meat (such as chicken or pork), a side of veggies and EVOO (extra virgin olive oil) to pour over the potatoes. It is so delicious. It's still one of my favorites meals today as an adult. Olive oil, as you know, has many health benefits. First of all, it's heart healthy - it won't clog up your arteries, it has vitamin E and it's full of … [Read more...]
I Heart Jonas
January 29, 2010 by Leave a Comment
This past weekend, my daughter and her friends were just hanging out in her room just playing and talking until I showed them the brand new I Heart Jonas on DVD. They quickly changed their minds about just talking and wanted to watch the Jonas on the big screen. I had popcorn and soda all ready for them and they were in heaven. You see, the girls are big Jonas fans and I could understand why. The boys are pretty cute and sweet too. I know if I was their age, I would have a crush on them but … [Read more...]
LG Chocolate Touch
January 28, 2010 by 2 Comments
This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of LG Chocolate Touch. All opinions are 100% mine. I've been a Verizon customer for almost 2 years now. Sprint was my wireless provider for 8 years before I switched over to Verizon and I'm so glad I did the switcheroo. I can't tell you how many times my calls were dropped or the many times where I didn't have reception to make a call when I was a Sprint customer. I couldn't even use my cell phone in my own home; it was so annoying. I can … [Read more...]
