There really is nothing better than NYC pizza, but when it comes to frozen pizza, I must say, Freschetta takes the cake (or should I say pie?!) What sets Freschetta apart from the rest is their REAL take on pizza. They use top quality ingredients so that your pizza actually tastes fresh and not like frozen bread with some sauce and cheese on it. My family loves the variety of pizzas offered in … [Read more...]

My little girl has gotten to an age where she has her own preferences, and our tastes don't quite coincide. When I was pregnant with her, I decided to make her room a gender neutral color because I knew it wouldn't be long before she started liking "girlie" colors. She has "The Cow Jumped Over the Moon" border with matching canvas pictures and wall decorations. I didn't realize it would only take … [Read more...]

I must be a horrible mother because I have NEVER taken my little girl to see Santa or the Easter bunny in the mall. When my little girl was a little over a year old, we celebrated her second holiday season. She had just gotten over Roseola and ended up with RSV, so going to the mall with her weakened immune system was out of the question. Instead of going to see Santa, I knew it would be fun to … [Read more...]

I love being part of a mommy group because it really gives a sense of community when you transition from working mom to stay at home mom. Don't get me wrong - I love that I have the opportunity to stay home with my little girl and watch her grow. I am truly enjoying this time with her. I just didn't realize that being a stay at home mom, especially during the winter months, can leave a feeling of … [Read more...]

I'm a homemade-dip kind of girl. When I have people over I always make everything from scratch and rarely open a can, box, or package of anything (with the exception of some h'orderves.) Every Friday or Saturday night from the time my hubby and I got married, we have friends over for movie and/or games night. It is nice to unwind with a glass of wine, great food, and great friends each … [Read more...]

My friend had her baby a few months ago and she is just getting ready to start feeding her baby solid foods. She asked me my advice on jarred food and homemade baby food - and I was more than happy to give her some advice. I always knew I wanted to make my own baby food, but working full time and taking two graduate courses left me feeling a little less than enthusiastic about going home and … [Read more...]

I knew that when I got married and moved into my own home I would have a more modern flair when it came to home decor. My hubby and I share the same style so it was easy to choose items that fit our personality.  I know that when it comes to the smaller decor items, details are often overlooked. Thankfully Modern Twist has functional home products that can fit ANY decor, whether you are more … [Read more...]

Choosing the right pacifier for your little one may not be as easy as you think. Babies have their own preferences and just because a pacifier worked well for your first doesn't mean it will be the best fit for your little one. Personally, my little one went through 5 different types of pacifiers before she found one she liked. I was just about to give up on even giving her a pacifier, but her … [Read more...]

Last weekend I had the opportunity to give a Baby Brezza to a great friend of mine for her baby shower. I was very excited about this opportunity since I had discussed baby food making with her and this was something she was interested in. Since I used what I already had in my kitchen to make wholesome baby food, I never experienced the ease of having an all in one baby food maker. I didn't think … [Read more...]
