I received some handy grilling tips from Sam's Club as well as a special membership offer that I think might be of some interest to my readers. Barbecue on the brain? Set aside your pots and pans and indulge in … [More...]
Sell and Buy Goods on Mint Market ($25 GC Giveaway – 3 winners – Ends 6/1/12)
I am sorry for not posting this weekend. I took a break from blogging to have some fun with my family. We went on a hike, spent some time by the river, enjoying a street fair and checked out a flea market, or as my husband called it, a "garbage market", because it looked like all people did was clear out their garages or attics and plopped everything on a … [More...]
New Feature – Fresh Air Friday? #FreshAirFriday
Today is a picture perfect day - weather wise that is. The sky is blue with a few white cloud scattered about. There is a gentle breeze. It's in the high 70's with no humidity (or at least none that I can feel), which is a far cry from the dark, rainy and miserable weather we've been having here in New York. If it could be just like it is today all summer … [More...]

Protect Your Pets in Case of Fire with Bo Regards (Giveaway ends 5/30/12)
Living in a condo has it's benefits and disadvantages. My husband loves that he doesn't have to worry about yard work and having to pay to get the roof or water softener fixed if it breaks (although we pay monthly for stuff like that). Personally I HATE living in a condo. Or as I like to call is "a glorified apartment that we have a mortgage for". Sigh... … [More...]

Sweet Farts Book Series Giveaway (ends 5/30/12)
I know the title sounds a bit weird. But yes, there truly is a book series called Sweet Farts. It's obviously geared towards children/'tweens. My son is what you call a "reluctant reader". Simply put he hates to read. He only reads when he has to for school. You will never find him reading for the fun of it. I can count on one hand how many … [More...]

Coming to select theaters on May 18, 2012 is the documentary-like story of a yellow Labrador Retriever guide dog for the blind named Quill. The film is called Quill: The Life of a Guide Dog and it's by Musicbox Films. I wanted to review this movie for a couple of reasons. First of all I am a huge animal lover, so films about animals, or star animals, are … [More...]

I am participating in this campaign because I want to do what I can to help a child not go to bed hungry tonight, and tomorrow night, and the night after that. It breaks my heart to hear stories about children who are hungry and don't know if or when they will … [More...]

Last week I posted about Dove's "Show Us Your Skin" campaign and a special event being held during Moms Night Out at the Roosevelt Field Mall in Long Island. By any chance was anyone able to attend? If so please comment and tell me all about it. I'm curious to see how the night was. One day I hope to attend a Moms Night Out event. I would … [More...]
Do you believe in YOLO?
A couple of months ago I was "stalking" my daughter's Facebook page (she refers to it as stalking - I consider it being a parent and checking in on what her and her friends are talking about). I notice a couple of references to YOLO. I know kids love to abbreviate things. For the life of me I couldn't figure out what YOLO stood for. So I had to ask … [More...]
