This post has been sponsored by the Better Sleep Council, in the form of a new mattress (yay!). No monetary compensation has been received and, as always, all thoughts and opinions are my own. When asked the question, “Do you feel that, on average, you are getting enough sleep?” I didn’t have to pause to [...]
This post has been sponsored by the Better Sleep Council, in the form of a new bed (yay!). No monetary compensation has been received and, as always, all thoughts and opinions are my own. Did you know that May is Better Sleep Month? Now, that is a holiday I can truly embrace. When was the [...]
When I think of Walgreens, I think of a neighborhood drugstore chain – a place I can stop any time of the day to grab some much-needed medicine, a snack, or a replacement lipstick. When I was invited last week to cover the opening of the new Walgreens Flagship store in Washington D.C. I was [...]
Last year, I chose the word Balance to be my word of the year. After a rough 2011, I was determined to create more balance in my home, family, work, and personal life. I kept the word balance in my head all year….but I’m not sure I really achieved it. And so I decided to [...]

Several years ago, I wouldn’t [...]
My journey as an eBay seller… After my 5th child was born back in 2005, I discovered and fell head over heels in love with a brand new trend – baby wearing. Yes, mothers have been wearing their babies for ages, but it wasn’t until my last baby was born that I started seeing women [...]
Living in a 34 year old townhome with 7 people, I deal with a fair share of annoyances…and I’m a relatively patient person (just don’t ask my kids or my husband their opinion on my patience level…). Patience (or lack of it) aside, there are a few things around the house that set me off [...]

Whether they need fashion advice or help finding the best value in a new kitchen appliance, they turn to you because they know you’ll have an opinion. You always find the perfect gifts for everyone on your list, and family members [...]
I’m a true modern-day shopper.
