I can't live without my warm beverages in the winter. Whether it is a warm cup of chai tea or some rich hot cocoa, I always find a moment of "me time" in the perfect cup. Last year I came across Dark Chocolate Hot Cocoa from Grove Square and there was no turning back. I love chocolate but it has to be the RIGHT chocolate, and it always has to be dark, so when I found a dark hot cocoa, I knew it was made just for chocolate snobs like me! The dark ...

Shark Rocket Vacuum Review #Holiday 2013
During our moving process I purged A LOT of things, including an old bulky vacuum and a DustBuster. My husband fought tooth and nail to keep our dirty old DustBuster but I wasn't having it. It smelled. It was hard to clean. The battery lasted for 53 seconds. It was time for it to go. The vacuum we got rid of was a bagged vacuum that smelled like something was burning each time we turned it on. I needed to find something that better suited our ...
Things To Consider Before Banking Your Child’s Cord Blood #CordBlood411 #MC #sponsored
Cord Blood banking seems to be a hot topic these days. Should you or shouldn't you bank your child's cord blood is the big question. I was caught in the same web of questions when I was pregnant with my first, and decided to bank her cord blood. I knew the chances of her using her own cord blood down the road were slim, but I thought that maybe someone in the family could benefit. With my second child it was a no-brainer; we were going to bank ...
Don’t Get Stuck Without Power This Holiday Season!
If you are traveling this holiday season then you have to check out the newest picks from Duracell. Duracell has been a trusted name in battery power for decades, so it's only natural they have evolved to keep you from losing power on your favorite mobile devices. When you are on the go, the last thing you want is to lose power. Personally, when I am traveling with my daughters, my biggest fear is that I won't be able to reach someone in the ...
Trying Something New with Pompeian Grapeseed Oil
Growing up in a European family, the only oil we really used was olive oil. My mom would always warn me that olive oil burns quickly and isn't ideal for frying, but I loved the taste of olive oil so much that I would still take the chance and cook with it anyway. I won't lie- I constantly set off the alarm while cooking with it, and sometimes the flavor of olive oil was just too heavy. I started experimenting with other cooking oils but was ...
Sleep With Me Cradle Doll by Nenuco #HolidayGiftGuide2013
Both of my daughters are nurturers. My oldest loves baby animals and spends many hours pretend playing animal hospital. My youngest loved baby dolls. Where ever we go she seeks out realistic looking dolls to cradle and hold. She shares her food, bottles, and pacifiers with her baby dolls and will often watch tv and rock her baby. She started this when she was just 12 months old, which just proves to me that even babies know that babies need to be ...
Send a Little Christmas Magic from the Portable North Pole @PNPSanta @PNPElf #sponsored
Last year my daughters received an awesome gift from Portable North Pole which my oldest daughter still talks about all the time. A video recording from Santa Claus made their excitement for the holiday season carry over to this year as well. When the folks over at Portable North Pole asked to join forces again and bring your children some magic this year! What I love most about the Portable North Pole Santa message is how real Santa is once ...
Shopping for the hubby at a newly updated #RadioShack store! (sponsored) #MC
Living in NYC during the holidays is unlike anything else. The smells from the pretzels carts tied in with the chilly weather and amazing seasonal decor is sure to put anyone in the holiday spirit. Last weekend I headed over to Lord & Taylor to show my daughter the beautiful holiday window display. Just a few blocks away we found ourselves in front of RadioShack on 42nd Street and decided to do some holiday shopping for the hubby with the ...
