Things have been a little crazy lately. My family and I were staying with my parents for about two weeks while we were waiting to move into our new house, and during our stay I had a CSA pickup which included leeks. So....leek and potato soup, right? No brainer. Well, the only problem is that between painting the new house and taking care of three kids nobody was really in the mood to cook (or eat soup). We all just wanted take-out at the end of ...

Give Your Kids A Special Message From Santa
My daughter is the luckiest toddler in the world, because her mommy knows Santa so well, he decided to make a personal video just for her! Yes, that's right... we know the big man. I'll let you in on my little secret: Portable North Pole. This is where I created a personalized video message with information that only Santa would know, such as her having a new little sister, and the nasty bottle habit we have been trying to break. The icing on the ...
It’s The Thought That Counts! #KleenexCares
Last month, some of NYC was devastated with the aftermath of Storm Sandy. There are still many who are left homeless, cold, and lost most, if not all of their personal belongings. I have seen in my community alone, people who have opened their homes to strangers, or set up a donation site. We were fortunate. On Thanksgiving day, I couldn't help but think of families who didn't have a turkey on their table, or spent their holiday in a ...
Unwinding With The Latest Issue of People Magazine #SexiestManAlive
Some people relax on the weekends. Me.. not really. The weekends are reserved for blog work, household duties, grocery shopping, and getting things done that I normally can't get done while I have two kids attached at the hip. I'd love a break, but keeping me busy keeps me out of trouble. It is usually the times that I am bored that I decide the walls need painting, or the furniture needs rearranging, so as long as I'm busy, my hubby remains ...
What Triggers Your Migraines? I Found My Triggers!
I've had many headaches after the birth of my new baby girl, but the other day, I had the mother of all headaches. It started on the left side of my head in the afternoon, and by dinner time it was dead center with throbbing, pounding, and made me sick to my stomach. I called my husband to pick me up some Excedrin on the way home, but our local drugstore didn't have any. I know they should all start stocking Excedrin by the new year, and after ...
Keep Baby Clean and Dry with Huggies Diapers #HuggiesWalmart #CBias #SocialFabric
When it comes to diapers, I've tried them all. I started with the brand the hospital used, moved on to generic, store-brand diapers, I've even cloth diapered for some time. I tried so many different brands because I wasn't happy with the fit of my first baby's diapers, as well as problems with diaper rash. It wasn't until her pediatrician told me that he had many moms who used the same diapers complain about bad diaper rash, with no history of ...
