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 ...

Holiday Gift Guide Sponsor: Magic Cabin
My girlie girl who walks around with stuffed animals all day long had an odd request recently. We set up a reward chart for staying in her bed at night, and after she has accumulated a certain amount of stars, she is allowed to get a present. I asked her what present she would like and her response: "a train set." Now, I don't really don't have any gender constraints when it comes to toys and I don't think there is anything wrong with a little ...
MegaBloks Thomas & Friends Party! #Megabloksparty
My mommy group had the opportunity to participate in the MegaBloks Thomas & Friends party. The kids had an awesome time playing with the Thomas at the Races and Diesel at the Dieselworks sets that were included in our party kit. I love participating in these Mommy Parties because it is a fun way to get the kids together for a playdate, and gives the mommies some time to chat with other moms and leave the house for a little. Now that the ...
