You all are probably with familiar with the saying, “Mom knows best”, right? Now that I’m a mom I think I fall into that category of knowing, if I do say so my self. But I’ll get my head out of my ass and face reality and just leave that up to my favorite veteran mom, my own: JeanneGirl. I’m tellin’ you, if I have a question about cooking, cleaning, discount shopping or how to get a stain out of something-she knows. Now that I thinking back to my child hood and adolescence, it’s safe to say she was a…

Trader Joe’s Hidden Jewel
0I am late to jump on the Trader Joe’s bandwagon, but I fully blame that on Trader Joe himself, because the closest one to our house is over 2 hours away. Luckily that is changing in the near future to only 40 minutes away – and I couldn’t be more excited. Until then, who ever is near one will help out this preggo and bring back my favorite item…the hidden jewel of all the delicious products under the Trader Joe’s roof: Milk Chocolate Covered Toffee Popcorn. Should I say it again? Milk Chocolate. Toffee. Popcorn. I can’t even begin to…

Meatless Friday’s: Easy Gazpacho
0A few months back, we went to dinner with some friends at their families local restaurant and I tried gazpacho for the first time. Totally blew my mind. It was cold, crispy, tomato & cucumber-y – I completely fell in love and needed to have it again. My preggo cravings were in full effect and all I wanted was gazpacho ever since. Well, I went out to dinner last week to a Spanish restaurant and of course had to try their version, but it just didn’t do the job like the first one. My husband told me I’m like a…

NYC In A NY Minute Quick Drying Nail Polish
0On my hunt for the best and cheapest nail polish, this month’s travels brought me to Target and NYC In A New York Minute Quick Drying Nail Polish. NYC has officially carved a special place in my mani-heart. Not only does this polish give you a fantastically perfect mani that looks like you just got pampered, it’s $1.74. Boom. Just two coats of their color, Sidewalkers, and a clear top coat my nails look great. I am still trying to get used to the greyish color, since I’m typically a light-colored kinda gal. It’s slowly growing on me, although I…
Meatless Friday’s: Cheese Fondue
0I love me some fondue! As a Mother’s Day treat, my mom whipped up some delicious cheese fondue as an appetizer and let me tell you, it blew the socks off the Melting Pot’s version! I have always been intimidated to have my own fondue night but rather opted to just go out and let a waiter take care of the dirty work. I observed as she made the cheese and no joke, it took her about 15 minutes from start to finish. That’s it. What the hell am I so intimidated by?! We feasted on bread and green apples…
Organizing Your Life: De-cluttering Papers & Bills
0I am probably the most unorganized person on the planet, but am trying to learn how to organize my life and de-clutter pretty much everything around me. Because seriously, I can’t freaking stand all the crap around anymore, it’s driving me insane!!! This is what usually happens in my house when we get our mail: it piles on our buffet until I can’t stand looking at it anymore, so I then shove it into our very small mail organizer on the counter. After a few weeks, it looks like it’s about to burst at the seams with bills, letters and…
Disney Dining: Where To Eat Part 2 – Character Lunch at Tusker House
0I have been meaning to write this post since our return from Disney last month! Now, dining at Disney can get extremely pricey and we were on a strict budget this trip. We found a great snack shop in Magic Kingdom but what about in some of the other great parks? I did some research and saw rave reviews for Donald’s Dining Safari Lunch at Tusker House in the Animal Kingdom, which also is a character lunch. So since we were heading to Animal Kingdom, this was a no brainer. With all character dining – and seated dining for that…
