I usually don't leave the house without wearing some kind of makeup, but I would not consider myself an expert in makeup by any means. I know what I like, and I know what looks good, but I am a little intimidated by dark colors and bold makeup. I need my makeup to be easy and quick, without looking overdone. When I attend special events, I do try to make my eyes look a little more dramatic, but when I look at pictures, it doesn't look like I'm ...

Holiday Gift Guide Sponsor: Piggy Paint
Just like any little girl, my toddler loves having her nails painted just like her mama. I'm not too fond about putting chemicals on my baby, but I do treat her every now and then and will paint her toe nails for her. She loves showing everyone how she is a big girl like mommy and that she has her toes painted. I never heard of eco-friendly, non-toxic nail polish until I was contacted by Piggy Paint. When they asked me to review their ...

V-Tech LS6475-3 Multitasking System
My hubby and I both agreed when we got married and moved in together that we did not need to have a house phone. Being that we both had cell phones, it was completely pointless to spend money on a home phone service. It was not until our baby was born and we had a nanny come to the house everyday when we realized that we needed a way to get in touch with her. She didn’t have a cell phone herself, so in the event of an emergency she would not be ...
Why you should worry about respiratory syncytial virus
Last year when my daughter was only a year old, she became very ill, very quickly. It turned out her simple sniffle was actually respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) and made it into her lungs within a day. She had a hard time breathing, had to be placed on a nebulizer, and was on constant watch 24 hours a day just in case this nasty virus progressed further. She became very lethargic, had a fever around 104, and was not able to run around and play. ...
Adopt an Angel This Holiday Season!
Each year during the holidays, I feel the need to reach out to people that are not as fortunate as I am. Last year I decided to use my savvy shopping skills to start a donation box full of personal items to drop off at a woman's shelter. Throughout the year I have been accumulating items, tossing them in the box, and waiting for this holiday season to brighten someone's day. My mom told me about a program her school participates in where you ...
Holiday Gift Guide Sponsor: Hamilton Beach Big Mouth Juicer
I have always wanted a juicer because of the health benefits of making your own juice. When I was working in NYC a few years ago, I would always go to this one juice location that would charge over $5.00 for a custom juice that included any fruits and veggies of my choice. I can now get my own freshly made juice in my home without costing a ridiculous amount of money each time. I love the idea of making fresh juice for my toddler, ...
A city girl dancing to country music
I'm not going to even pretend I listen to country music. I've heard it. I can probably tolerate half of it, but it's just not my thing. I'm a city girl. We don't have bars that play country music and you definitely won't see anyone square dancing around here... unless they walked out of that bar at 5am and had a little too much fun. So, when I was given the opportunity to review Country Dance 2 for the Wii, I thought this would be an ...
