Tapsbook app turn mobile photos into beautiful photo books

  Note: I have been compensated for my time to test and review the brand new Tapsbook app, but all opinions are solely my own. Between my smart phone, my iPad, my Facebook account and (who could forget?!) Instagram, I have thousands of under-appreciated and often forgotten photos. There was a day not too long […]

Hugh Jackman on Parenting, Passion and the Wolverine

Hugh Jackman Wolverine interview

  I was invited to attend a New York City screening of The Wolverine with The Moms complete with an appearance and interview with Hugh Jackman. Although my movie and interview experience was provided by The Moms, I payed for my own way to get to New York and all opinions are my own. Be […]

Rainy Day in Boston #WordlessWednesday

Rainy day in Boston, Massachusetts

  Our first full day in Boston, Massachusetts, was not the most ideal, weather-wise. Between the rain, the chilly temperatures that threw us off (shorts and t-shirts aren’t rainy-and-65-degree friendly) and a few hours of car maintenance, we didn’t get much sight seeing done. But what we did do together was so much fun, even […]

Smart Summer Snacking Tips - #WonderfulSummer

smart summer snacking tips with wonderful brands

  Yesterday, I got back from a 1300 mile road trip. Road trips inevitably seem to go hand in hand with bad snacking…candy, chips, soda…why is it that we crave junk food when we’re stuck in the car for hours? Never mind the summer road trips…With the whole family home all summer long, our eating […]

I’m back from my 5-day, 1300 mile road trip, and figured that while I’m unpacking and washing load after load of laundry, I’d stop in and share another rice krispie treat recipe. I’ve tried a few versions of peanut butter and chocolate rice crispy treats (of all the varieties of rice krispy treats that […]

Cheers! #PSF Give Me Your Best Shot

20130725-203348.jpg

  I just spent a long, rainy day in Boston - my first time in Massachusetts. I had my camera safely hidden in my waterproof bag most of the day, but I was able to pull it out during our early dinner at Cheers. The kids didn’t understand the nostalgia that Dad and Mom felt […]

The Wolverine Movie Review

I was invited to attend a New York City screening of The Wolverine with The Moms complete with an appearance and interview with Hugh Jackman, and lucky for me, my family had a trip to Boston that coincided with the movie premiere. Yes, we drove all the way to New York City on our own […]

Curried Chicken Salad - An Amazing Summer Lunch Recipe

curried chicken salad sandwich

Lunch is not my favorite meal. Unless I’m eating out (yum) or eating dinner leftovers (sometimes yum), lunch just doesn’t do much for me. One of my near-by grocery stores has a weekend $5 croissant deal, and I picked up a box the other day, without a real plan on how I would use […]

Next Issue app preview

I was selected to review the Next Issue magazine app as a member of Clever Girls Collective and the content and opinions expressed here are all my own. August is a travel month for me. Between the family road trip to New York City and Boston (As of the time of publishing this post I’m […]
