Some people celebrate Christmas, others, Hanukah. My friends and I: we celebrate coffee. Most of us are or were teachers, so we know the importance of this miracle drink when you have to be at work around 7am while others are just waking up at that time. I may no longer be a teacher, but as a mommy who is always on the go with a toddler that has more energy than any one person should ever possess, coffee is sometimes my sanity saver in the ...

What’s in YOUR candy bar? #GetUnreal
Yesterday afternoon my 3 year old asked me if I can swap her little chocolate candies that she receives as a treat, for UNREAL chocolate covered peanuts. "GLADLY" I told her! She doesn't understand why I would eagerly swap out her candy, but it doesn't really matter. In the end, she still receives her little treat that brightens her day, and now that I switched ALL the chocolate in my home to UNREAL chocolate, I feel better about giving her a ...
On a Diet? On the Go? Check out Diet to Go! #diettogo
Just a few more pounds to go to get down to my pre-pregnancy weight, and just a few pounds after that to get to my goal weight. It doesn't seem like much, but when the scale isn't budging then an intervention may be in order! I've joined a gym, cut back on the calories, and try to keep myself active. The problem is that lately, I feel that I don't have time for anything. My tot is in school and dance class, so I'm constantly on the go- which ...
On the go eating with Barilla Microwaveable Meals
I feel like I'm always on the go. From the moment I wake up my schedule is busy- I have to feed my girls, get them ready, pack the diaper bag, and prepare for an afternoon out of the house. I often find myself forgetting to eat because I'm so wrapped up in making sure the girls are fed and I'm usually the one eating a snack bar in the car on our way to swimming lessons or mommy and me classes. By the time we get home, it's lunch time and again, ...
Say Cheese and Win Big with Dunkin Donuts!
From the moment my eyes open in the morning, and probably even before that, my mind is racing. I am usually awoken by the shriek of my toddler who hates waking up or by my infant who is starving and needs to be fed ASAP. Sometimes, both will wake up at the same time and it's all about them! I can say I'm typically a morning person, but lately I'm not an afternoon person. I started to skip my morning coffee because this summer has been so busy ...
It’s Tea Time! #CadburyHighTea
My toddler got her first tea set for her birthday last year and has always loved having tea parties. Her first tea party was when she was about a year and a half. Her cousin, who is a year older than her, set up their play table with a tea set and instructed my then 18 month old how to sit and drink tea. It was the most adorable setting ever, as it was the first of many things her older cousin would teach her. So, when Cadbury asked me to host a ...
Grilling Up Potatoes on The Barbecue!
Barbecue season is here! Every day I smell the aroma of grilled meat and I just crave it the nights we dont' barbecue. We throw just about anything you can think on the grill when we barbecue- burgers, steak, shrimp, chicken, pineapple, potatoes- you name it, it get's grilled! Yes, I just said POTATOES! How do you grill potatoes you may ask? Very easy! I tear open a bag of Ore Ida Grillers and throw them on the grill along with the other food. ...
Don’t Mess With My Iced Tea! (Recipes Included!)
I'm a water drinker. I don't like sugar, colors, or flavors in my beverages. When I go out to a restaurant with friends, I'm always the odd ball with my drink. Water, that's it... or unsweetened iced tea. Most waiters get it, and will brew me some hot tea and throw ice in it. Some don't believe when I say "unsweetened" and bring along an over-sugared bottled tea, and once I was asked if I wanted sugar in my unsweetened iced tea (my husband had to ...
