Just recently, my hubby and I both agreed that it would be best to stick to a meal plan, and do our shopping and meal planning around the weekly circular for our local grocery store. We thought this would be the best way to save time and actually make dinner every night, instead of getting into the rut of ordering in, or snacking through dinner. With two kids, getting to the grocery store during the winter months has been a challenge for me. If ...

The Oscars are Coming! Stock up on @Skinnygirl Cocktails!
Can you believe February is almost over? It's a short month, so it's pretty much gone before it even starts, but one thing I know a lot of people are looking forward to at the end of February is SPRING! Oh, and the Oscars! I love any reason to celebrate, have the girls over, and enjoy some yummy treats, so why not have an Oscar party? Besides, I should have a front row seat being that I am the mother of the toddler who must receive the award for ...
Say “Thank You” With a Box of Merci Chocolates (GIVEAWAY)
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 ...
Go Red for Women and Join the #QuakerHeart Twitter Party
Heart disease is commonly thought of as a "man's disease." I can tell you that after watching a close loved one suffer from heart disease for several years, this statement is farthest from the truth. She was an older woman, and after doing much research on her specific case, I learned that women are just as likely to suffer from heart disease as men, but it often goes undiagnosed due to the old thinking that women generally do not suffer from ...
Progresso Recipe Starters
There are some days that I am a whiz in the kitchen and I can concoct amazing recipes just by putting together some simple ingredients from my pantry. Then, there are other days that I need some inspiration. Lately, there are more and more days like that since it seems there are not enough hours in the day to do it all and then make dinner. Thankfully there are many "helpers" out there that add some great flavors to your meals, such as Progresso. ...
Oh, How I Love My Keurig!
My once a day coffee break has turned into a morning and afternoon ritual. I had mostly given up coffee for a few months while I was exclusively breastfeeding my baby, but since she is transitioning to solids and doesn't have as much milk during the day, I have not only included a morning cup of heaven, but also must indulge in an afternoon pick me up! I love my Keurig! It allows me to have options on what I am drinking throughout the day. ...
Resolution Keeper: Enjoy Iced Coffee With Less Calories! #LightIcedCoffee #CBias
I know you all made those resolutions: pig out all holiday, then wish it away on January 2! This is what I did, and January 2nd came and went and I still have some pounds to lose. It turns out, you can't wish yourself lighter, but you can take steps to cut calories and make small choices everyday that can help you meet your goals. One thing I won't budge on every morning (and afternoon) is my coffee. Not only does it energize me, but I love the ...
