It can't be too complicated or difficult to make and it must be simple and easy so I can feed my family of five quickly. Most of the time, I'd like to have dinner on the table within an hour, so whatever makes my life easier, that's the route I'm taking! When The Motherhood invited me to participate in their Flatout program with Walgreens, I immediately said yes. First of … [Read more...]

We did it! Listerine and The Motherhood challenged us in taking the Listerine challenge for 3 weeks and we've succeeded.  It wasn't difficult to keep up (thank goodness!) with the 3-week challenge since I am very diligent about keeping our mouths clean but with this challenge, brushing was now fun -- according to my 7 year old. :) Just in case you missed reading my first initial post, click anywhere in this sentence to do so. My two older children didn't want to "participate" in the … [Read more...]

Last week, my daughters and I ventured out to Suzanne's place in Queens, N.Y. to meet up with some of the New York based bloggers for a get-together sponsored by Frito-Lays.  Any meet-up with chips accompanied by some delectable dips are always a good thing when paired together, in my opinion. If you haven't noticed, last week's weather was brutal with temps hitting high 90's and feeling like triple digits but thankfully Suzanne had a water table out and a bouncy house for the kiddies and … [Read more...]
