My family is really into the Toy Story movies. We watched Toy Story 3 first, and quickly got hooked. The next day we had a family movie marathon where we watch the first two Toy Story movies. We've loved the Toy Story short, and when we heard that a new Toy Story was coming out soon, we just had to see that one too! My kids love the adventures, I love the positive messages that can be found in the movies about team work and ...

For That Hard to Shop for Beauty in Your Life, Check Out #PixiBeauty
There are some people this holiday season that are hard to shop for. I've been told many times myself that I'm hard to shop for because when I see something I have to have I get it. It's gotten to the point where I mention something- like last week when I said I needed a roasting pan- my husband says, "ooh I can get you one for Christmas!" No. Don't buy me a roasting pan. Or a vacuum. Or anything that screams out "chores." If you want to keep ...
Potty Training? Stock up On Charmin at @SamsClub! #CharminAtSamsClub
Potty training was a bit more challenging the second time as compared to the first. I thought I was equipped with the skills to potty train my second child after being so successful with my first- who was potty trained within three days. My second was potty trained over the course of a year. I know that seems like a long time, but we had a few major setbacks and then just gave up at some point. At 12 months, my second daughter was showing all ...
A Time Out for Mommy (or Daddy) at @MassageEnvy #BecauseMoment #ad #IC
It's been a crazy week. Everything seems to have hit at the same time and it has been very overwhelming. I find myself on the verge of crawling into a ball under the covers at the same time I know I just have to push through, check things off my list, and move forward. I use to look forward to the weekend when I knew we didn't have a schedule, but with so much going on in my personal life, this isn't the case at all. Everyday is met with a list ...
The Holidays Are Near! #UpgradeWithIntel at Walmart. Enter to Win A Laptop!
I think everyone across the globe could have heard my cries of devastation this week. My girls were at school, my son was sleeping, laundry was folded, and dinner was defrosting. I finally had some time to myself where I can focus on work. I had my warm coffee next to me and started chipping away at the work I had. Then my laptop screen frozen. I didn't think anything of it because this was a frequent occurrence. There was a second of horror as I ...
A Busy Weeknight Family Meal Done Right With @DiGiorno
I am a member of the Balance Your Plate team and helping spread the word about DiGiorno pizzas. As a team member I receive product and incentives in exchange for participating in brand related activities. I have to admit- the last thing I want to think about at the end of the day is what to feed everyone. Our days are crazy busy - by the time I drop everyone off, I have only a few hours to tend to housework, go food shopping, or take my little ...
Moving Secrets of a Mom of Three
Ok, I lied, I was a mom of TWO when I was in the process of moving my then-family of four from a decent sized one bedroom apartment (for NYC standards) to our first home - which had room for one or two more family members. As a matter of fact, when we were renovating our latest money pit, we did so with a nursery in mind for expanding our family, hence the mom of three title! So, after our arduous closing, tons of mortgage papers, and back and ...
Getting That Spark Back @Love_SASMAR #lovelube
There are many things that have come out of France that I love. Croissants, for one- they are so versatile at mealtime and everyone can customize their own. SASMAR personal lubricant is another- their paraben free, silky smooth formula offers hours of effectiveness and is FDA approved. After having a few kids, and just the stresses of everyday life getting in your face, there comes a time when you need to just relax and unwind- to not ...
