Some of you may have noticed the chimpanzee in my sidebar for the last few weeks. You may have heard me talking on twitter or Facebook about the amazing trip I am taking next month. I’ve been dying to tell everyone (officially) the awesome news – I am heading to Florida in 3 weeks to [...]

Social Queen – Wordless Wednesday

Lolli and Lily Collins

I could have titled this post “Who’s the fairest?” but I really didn’t want to hear the answer to that… Last weekend I was in Santa Monica, CA (see last week’s #WordlessWednesday) for a Mirror Mirror press day. Have I mentioned yet how much I loved the movie? I can’t wait to share it with [...]

Tide Coldwater Review – Will My Laundry Really Get Clean in Cold Water?

Tide Coldwater banner

OK, I’m about to tell you a secret. Up until this past year, we kept our water heater set at a very low temperature. That meant three things: I saved money on heating water, my water never got very hot….ever, and my showers had to be quick. And despite the fact that the water heater [...]

Just Dance 3 – Get Active and Have Fun

Just Dance 3 husbands

A year ago, I discovered an exercise program that I actually enjoyed doing and I found it in an unexpected place….In my basement My husband has been anti-video game for as long as I can remember (and we’ve been married for almost 17 years…). We’ve never had video games or video game platforms, and although [...]

Are You a Stressed Working Mom?

It’s only the 5th day of the year, and already I feel like I’ve talked quite a bit about seeking and achieving balance. I suppose it has just been on my mind. So it didn’t surprise me when the title of this Momversation video jumped out at me this morning. (No, I didn’t scream at [...]

This month marked a first for me (and at my age, it’s hard to come by firsts very often). While I was in New York City with Disney/Dreamworks earlier this month, I was able to see Mary Poppins on Broadway. The performance was everything I could have hoped for and imagined….and more. Necco saw Mary [...]

Heading to New York City with Disney/Dreamworks

I’m packed and (almost) ready to go. You know the feeling that you get when you are about to embark on something REALLY exciting? That’s how I’m feeling right now. Today I am getting on a train and heading to New York City where I will spend the next three days with Disney/Dreamworks and a [...]

Convert Your Family Movies to DVD with YesVideo

AFamilyvideo

Watching old home movies is one of our Sunday evening past times. My kids love (and I mean LOVE) seeing themselves and their siblings “way back when.” I love it too (boy, does it take me back!!) but I admit that I do NOT love connecting the old camcorder to the TV and then rewinding [...]
