Living in NYC, it is almost nonsensical to take a car anywhere! Between looking for parking (oh, and PAYING for parking) and traffic, you are better off just walking everywhere. Even if you have to walk all the way across town, you are better off doing that by foot - it will be much quicker that way. Unfortunately the rain doesn't really stop NYers from doing anything. Errands still need to be taken care of, events still need to be attended, and ...

Holiday Gift Guide: Pure Romance
WARNING: Links contained in this post may not be suitable to be opened in front of your boss,mom in law, or the kiddos. Once you have kids, it seems that the entire emphasis of the holidays is placed on them, and we always forget to shop for our significant other - until 2 days before Christmas when the shelves are bare and everything is way overpriced for those last minute shoppers. My husband is one of those people. He is crazy brave ...
Holiday Gift Guide: Fagor Cookware
My mom never used anything besides her old fashioned pots and pans to make dinner, so naturally, I ended up doing the same when I started cooking for my own family. It was not until about a year after I was married that I decided to pull out a crockpot buried deep in the closet which we received as a wedding gift. A coworker had told me all the wonderful things she would make with her crockpot and I decided to try it out for myself. I decided ...
Energizer Giveaway!
I can't believe the holidays are almost here and I am super excited this year! It is almost impossible to not get excited during Christmas season when you live in NYC. All the stores are decorated and the smell of Christmas is in the air! My toddler is finally at an age where she can enjoy all that the holidays have to offer! We have quite a few gifts lined up for her - which all require batteries! I always try to have a hefty stock of batteries ...
Holiday Gift Guide Sponsor: Calgon Sensual Collection
"Calgon take me away." I was young, but I still remember that commercial like it was yesterday. A woman is having a rough day, comes home to a chaotic life, and wishes just for a few minutes of "me time" away from it all. I didn't get it. Then again, I wasn't a wife or a mother. I admittedly crave "me time" more than ever, since I haven't been able to do anything alone from the time I had my daughter. Going to the bathroom with the door closed? ...
Holiday Gift Guide Sponsor: Lenox Review & Giveaway
Lenox has turned into the cornerstone of special occasions as well as holiday decorating. When I got married, I received beautiful Lenox photo frames and serving platters which I use every time I have the family over for a sit down dinner. The intricate details make each piece a timeless classic that can be enjoyed by generations. Immediately after our first Christmas, I scoured the internet for sales and specials on Holiday decorations. I ...
Holiday Gift Guide Sponsor: Spotlightbaby Paci Buddy: Mochiko
I have heard this from many moms, and this has been my experience as well - it is IMPOSSIBLE to not lose your baby's pacifier. We always had extras on hand, but we would still manage to lose my daughter's binky. I love the idea of the Paci Buddy by Spotlight Baby - a cute, cuddly plush toy that attaches to your child's pacifier. Not only does it keep your child's pacifier off the floor with the attached hidden strap that attaches to car seats and ...
