One thing I love about the holidays is the deliciously decadent sweets. I guess we all tend to overindulge during the holidays but when you receive gifts like Ferrero Rocher, it's easy to! The smooth chocolate and crunchy nuts tantalize your tastebuds. What's even better than that? Probably winning a luxury trip, a designer pair of high heels, and jewelry fit for a Queen! These are all things you can win during the 25 Days Wrapped in Gold ...

Making Holiday Memories with Build a Bear Workshop
My oldest daughter must have been about a year and a half the first time we went to Build a Bear Workshop. She was a little overwhelmed by everything the store had to offer, but within minutes she warmed up and picked out her first furry friend, Remy. Fast forward three years later and we have adopted many furry friends from Build a Bearworkshop. We visit for special occasions or when BABW has something new and exciting to offer. Our latest trip ...
Lalaloopsy Loopy Hair, Jewel Sparkles!
Do you have a Lalaloopsy fan in your life? My little girl jumped on the Lalaloopsy bandwagon last year when she started school and was introduced to Lalaloopsy from classmates. Once the show came on Nick Jr, the excitement for Lalaloopsy grew bigger as she was able to identify with the character. Lalaloopsy is a fun character who comes to life after she is sewn (she's a doll.) If you've ever seen Coraline, there's a few similarities between them, ...
Fun, Cute, and Cozy with #HALOSleepSack at Pottery Barn!
Both my daughters wore HALO SleepSacks from the very beginning. When the weather started to get cooler following the birth of my first daughter, I needed a way to safely keep her warm. Blankets were out of the question because I was afraid she would end up moving and having the blanket over her face. Once I discovered HALO SleepSacks, there was no going back. They were exactly what I was looking for and came in various sizes and levels of warmth ...
Pinypon Toys Know How to Party!
When it comes to toys, my daughter needs things that are always changing, otherwise she gets bored. Downloading free apps on the iPad has been an amazing tool at keeping her entertained, but imaginative play is just as important, if not more important at this age. We discovered Pinypon last year at a play date we hosted, and this is one toy my daughter always seems to go back to. She loves that she can change her character's hair, clothing, and ...
A Comfortable Holiday Stay At Hampton Hotels #HamptonHoliday #sponsored
Christmas is just two weeks away and it's time to start prepping your home for guests! A few years ago my hubby and I had his relatives from Greece stay with us in our two bedroom apartment in the city. It was nice to have company over but things started going wrong. One of the guys would stay out late at night without any means of contacting him. Then our air mattress deflated and wouldn't work. It was a mess. Our guests ended up on the ...
Give the gift of coffee this season and enter to win a Nescafe Dolce Gusto Genio! @DolceGustoUS #Giveaway #MC
Everyone that knows me online and offline knows that I love my coffee. I'm not a "give me any type of coffee" person either; it's got to be a perfect roast, at the right temperature. The way I take my coffee varies by the minute, and always reflects how I feel. The spunky, energetic, comfortable "me" loves a good iced coffee with a hint of sugar and milk. The cold-weather "me" that needs comfort likes a piping hot coffee with a few splashes of ...

Living in NYC all our lives, we've been fortunate to have been exposed to many cultures and traditions. In less than 2 months, there will be an amazing celebration of the Lunar New Year in ChinaTown which is a sight to see for anyone of any background. It is cultural celebrations like these that make people understand and appreciate what each culture has to offer. I love that with all the various cultures around here, people keep their roots and ...
