Disclosure: Although I received samples, this did not influence my opinions or experiences stated in this post. Anyone that knows me in real life knows that I am usually willing to try just about anything, and will generally do so with an open mind. A few months back, I decided to try a scented wax kit that would replace candles I use to burn. I figured out, after years of burning candles, that I was allergic to most scents. My nose gets ...

Cool New Shopping App!
I'm a horrible shopper. I don't like shopping because I feel that I can never find what I'm looking for. Then, I see something on someone else - a friend, family member, and even someone at the grocery store, and I find myself saying "OMG, I HAVE TO HAVE THAT! Where did you get it?" I know in high school, that may have been a huge no-no because who wants to feel that they are "stealing" someone else's style? It seems that in adulthood, it's much ...
Pretend Play with Melissa and Doug Play Food
I find my preschooler often rummaging through my kitchen items to find something to play with in her play kitchen. I've found "real" forks and spoons in her kitchen, along with some pantry items, so it was only a matter of time before I looked into her own "fake" pantry items to add to her kitchen. She also loves to pretend her kitchen is a shop, and will scan grocery items through her invisible scanner and bag them. I love her imagination ...
How do YOU keep your family healthy during cold and flu season?
I feel that my family and I cannot get a break from these germs. As soon as that spring air hit NYC, I was boasting (in my own mind) that we went the entire winter without getting some horrible virus. It seems that since October, my friends have been posting Facebook statuses that their families ended up with the flu, stomach virus, and other illnesses that attacked everyone in the household. I figured we were able to escape the bugs since I ...
Who Will Take Care of You When You are Old? #SHGenworth
Just recently, our family was struck with a few unfortunate events that made my husband and I realize that regardless of how savvy and organized our family members are, there is still much that needs to get done if they become dependent on someone else when they are older. For example, his aunt is currently in the hospital and is not expected to be released. We need to make long-term care arrangements for her and have to work with the finances ...
Live Clean (Baby)
Now that I'm a mother I find myself more concerned with the personal products I use in my home and around my family. My brother and my mother have actually done quite a bit of research on the subject, and now that they've done the legwork I feel a bit more educated regarding the things to look for when purchasing these types of products. This explains my excitement when I learned that Live Clean, a Canadian brand of eco-friendly personal care ...
Edible Arrangements Donates to The National MS Society! ($50 Gift Card Giveaway!)
Nearly a year ago, I ordered an Edible Arrangement for my toddler's Hello Kitty themed birthday party. The reason I chose to get an Edible Arrangement for my guests was because two months prior my hubby surprised me with a chocolate dipped fruit arrangement for my birthday. It really was the best present, because what's better than chocolate and fruit?Since I was pleased with their high standards, I felt it would be a great opportunity to share ...
