With Valentine's Day behind us and a season full of awards ceremonies, I have something to say: Please don't wait for one day, once a year to tell people "Thank You!" To be completely honest, my hubby and I didn't even celebrate Valentine's Day the way we normally celebrate, because we were so thankful to be a family and celebrate with our little girls. I noticed that he did kick it up a notch, and offered to take down the laundry and wash the ...

Quick and Easy Noodle Soups by Malaysian Kitchen! #DRAsianmeals #cbias #SocialFabric
I love living in NYC and being in the center of everything. This truly is the city that never sleeps, and you have so much at your fingertips at any hour of the day. After spending summers at the beach house, where there is no 24 hour shops around, we've realized how indispensable our local Duane Reade stores are. Most of them are open 24 hours, and they are usually fully stocked and have just what we are looking for, with many options to choose ...
Litter Box Woes: Hagen SmartSift Has a Solution
My husband and I debated through the holidays over whether or not we were going to get a pet kitten for my toddler. She is beyond cat obsessed and we thought it would be a great way to start teaching her about responsibility. There were just a few problems with our plan. One, with a new baby in the family, a kitten would just add to the workload, needing to be fed, taking to the vet, and cared for. Two, the litter box. I naturally assumed that my ...
Get Smooth Skin With the Professional Skin Care System
I've always been curious to try an exfoliator system, but feared that it would be too harsh on my sensitive skin made me reluctant to take the leap and purchase the pricey system. Then, I found out about the ToiletTree Professional Skin Care system that is just a fraction of the price of other systems out there, and decided to give it a try. In all honesty, I figured that if I couldn't use the system on my face, I could use it to exfoliate my ...

It’s Never Too Early To Plan Your Retirement Fund #SHGenworth
This may seem silly, but at (almost) 30 I'm already starting to think of my retirement. I've been working since I was a teenager, and once I was able to start saving towards a retirement plan, I did. After I started my teaching career, I felt that I had a safety net for retirement, since there was a teacher's retirement system in my network. After I lost my job, my first fear was providing for my family, and my second fear was saving for ...
Hats Off to Dr. Seuss Collector’s Edition
Do your children love Dr. Seuss as much as mine do? Each night before my toddler heads to bed, we read a few stories, and Dr. Seuss classics are always at the top of her list.

Home Entertainment! The collection include five of Dr Seuss' animated ...
The importance of looking after your family’s health
Few things are as important to a family as good health; however, unlike some things in life, physical well-being is not something that can be created in just a few hours or days. It requires a sustained commitment and sometimes sweeping lifestyle changes, but the rewards are well worth the effort. Feeling better, living longer and needing fewer doctor's visits are the most obvious benefits of a solid health profile, but there are many ...
