I have been in what some of you might call an alcohol ‘detox’ the past couple months. Every time I drank, I got violently ill. It was like my body was rejecting vodka and wine. I was starting to panic…my bottle of Pinot Grigio at the end of a day full of temper tantrums is my saving grace! So needless to say I haven’t been my wine chugging self lately. Slowly but surely I got back into my old ways and the anti-alcohol virus that had invaded my body has left and I’m back, ready to drink! What better way…
More Bubble Guppies Toys! Just In Time For Christmas..
0I have received an over-abundance of comments from my last post about Bubble Guppies toys. As all you parents/grandparents of Bubble Guppy-obsessed toddlers know, their toys are few and far between. I mean, we can’t forget about the plush toy inflation a coulple months ago! We all have to stick together and now that the Christmas season is upon us, I’m sure everyone can agree with me that all we want is some more Guppy toys! I don’t think that is too much to ask for. Well thanks to the awesome moms out there who have their Guppy-radar on point,…
iProblems….Part Tres
0I love traveling with my iPad so I can read magazines, play games on the plane and Skype my little girl when I’m at the hotel. Its a whole lot easier than lugging around the laptop. So there is no doubt in my mind that I would take it with me on our recent trip to Atlantic City. We flew into JFK and drove 2 hours to AC and when we were about 45 minutes away from AC, I realized I had left my iPad in the seat pocket in front of my seat. I think the gods above are…

Don’t Forget Your Shades This Fall!
0Even though the cooler weather has taken over most parts of the U.S. – yes, even down here in Florida its gotten down to the 70’s – we have taken our family fun from the pools and beach to the parks and fields. The sun is still blazing and those dangerous UV rays can still do damage to your kiddos eyes. So parents-we need to be prepared with the right sun glasses for all the fun fall activities we are participating in – apple picking, soccer, football, picnics, swings – protecting your families eye health should be on the top…

Caprese Bruschetta Chicken
0Looking for an easy, healthy and fresh meal to change up your dinner routine? You must try this! In our house we love everything Italian and for some reason I have been in the mood for caprese salad (fresh mozzarella, basil and tomatoes). I got the brilliant idea to fuse together 2 of my favorite apps – Caprese salad and bruschetta. How bad could it turn out?! Well, I could have eaten thirds and fourths of this meal! The caprese bruschetta was so deliciously fresh and added such a great flavor to the baked chicken cutlet. Best part about the…

Cleaning Your Front Loading Washer
133 years ago when we bought our home, my husband and I jumped on the front loading band wagon and got ourselves a pretty, modern-looking, shiny new washer and dryer. You may not even believe me when I tell you my husband had to convince ME to get it. He couldn’t wait to do laundry and even said he would do all the laundry if I would fold. I gladly accepted that offer, but 3 years later I’m doing both the laundry AND folding, so who’s the fool here? We didn’t know that with these front loaders came a few…
DIY Bubble Guppies Costume
0It’s no secret that my little girl is obsessed with Bubble Guppies on Nick Jr. And it’s also no secret that I am fed up with the lack of Bubble Guppies merchandise! So I took matters into my own hands and decided to make my daughter and niece Bubble Guppies costume for Halloween. This is my first attempt at making a costume and it came out great! I am no sewer by any means, but I do know my way around a sewing machine for basic work. I searched for some fabric at Joann Fabrics and Walmart and luckily…
