Do you give your children an allowance? Whether or not to give children an allowance – and then how much to give them – is a topic that I often hear discussed among parents both on and off line. Over the years, my husband and I have gone back and forth, and I hate to…

Hickory Farms – Part of Our Christmas Tradition
Hickory Farms has been a part of my holiday traditions for as long as I can remember. My mom and I would always pick up some sausage and cheese from the Hickory Farms kiosk at the mall, or better yet, order a gift basket to enjoy for even longer. One of my favorite things about…
War Horse Premiere Re-cap – I Walked the Red Carpet!
Hopefully you aren’t tired of hearing about my trip to New York City yet, because I still have so much to share! The other day, I told the story of the adventurous journey to the War Horse Premiere. But I didn’t have a chance to say much about the walk down the red carpet or…
Central Park on Sunday Morning – Photostory Friday
I had about an hour to myself on Sunday morning in New York City last weekend. The weather was uncommonly clear and mild for December, and I took full advantage. The hour that I spent in Central Park was in extreme contrast to the hustle and bustle and excitement of the rest of the weekend….
End-of-Season Soccer Party with WhoNu Cookies!
WhoNu Cookies sponsored this end-of-season soccer team celebration as well as this post, but all thoughts and opinions are my own. Fall soccer season has been over for a few weeks now and I must admit that the first Saturday morning that I was able to sleep in was pretty heavenly. But despite the lack…
Visiting St. Paul’s Chapel – 9/11 Memorial
On Sunday, Lori (A Day in Motherhood) and Lauren (Midget Momma) and I (yes, Lori, Lauren, and Laura) took a side-trip over to the site of the World Trade Center in hopes of seeing the new memorial. Access to the memorial is still very restricted and we couldn’t get in, but we visited St. Paul’s…
The Amazing Race – Disney/Dreamworks Mom Blogger Style
I love New York City. There’s something so magical and so completely different about it. I’ve also been to New York City enough times to know that nothing is quite as easy as you might imagine (or hope) it would be. Take, for instance, the Disney/Dreamworks journey to the red carpet premiere of Steven Spielberg’s…
Slim-Fast to the Weight-Loss Rescue
This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Slim-Fast for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine. I used to never have to watch what I ate. I could eat anything (and I mean anything) and never worry about gaining weight. That all changed when I turned 30 and had my 5th child….
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…
Finding My Inspiration – Photostory Friday – Give Me Your Best Shot
I haven’t been taking many pictures lately. In fact, I feel like I keep saying that. Week after week I find myself coming up empty when I go looking for “my best shot.” Today, tired and full of anxiety (which has been particularly bad lately), I cleaned my house to get ready for a non-time…
