My homework: Wordless Wednesday

August 31, 2011

Back to school means filling out my phone number about 40 billion times. It also means I sacrifice work time, since my evenings are usually spent on twitter blogging and emails. Thankfully I’m done for the next 364 days and while I have a blister, my fingers did not get numb! (yay for small wins!) [...]

The commenter, Johnathon is clearly frustrated with not having completed his own education and being ‘stuck’ (so many of us can relate) in his current situation. While I plan to write a full blog post about his concerns, [...]

Healthy Food Fight with Aetna & SheSpeaks

August 29, 2011

Healthy food and family go together like peanut butter and jelly in my house. I adopted a healthy lifestyle as a teenager and while we do enjoy ice cream and cookies we focus on healthy eating at home as much as possible. Fruits and veggies are a huge hit in my house in part because [...]

First Day of School: Mom Monday

Bebarang the Netflix for kids clothes: Fashion Friday

August 26, 2011

The scene is a familiar one in households with children. You need to have a special outfit for the holidays, a special occasion, or even a wedding. Buying an outfit for a 2 year old that is both expensive and will likely be worn once (or ruined in one day!) is neither frugal nor practical. [...]

ChicaLogic: Cleaning up your computer & a back-to-school sale

August 25, 2011

As my kids get ready to start school next week, one of the things I know I’ll be dong is spending some time straightening up and decluttering the house. They’ve been home all summer, and things have just accumulated everywhere. I can’t wait to have some uninterrupted time to get the house back in order. [...]

I was introduced to PlumDistrict at the Mom’s Fashion File party at BlogHer. The event was so much fun, and featured stylish makeovers for a handful of bloggers, a great vibe, and lots of friends to chat with (and a feather for my hair). I met a ton of the sponsors, but I was excited [...]

Udi’s Gluten Free: Snacks made easy & a giveaway

August 24, 2011

I get asked a lot about going gluten free, and how I felt after going gluten free. I constantly tell people it’s really about getting over that mental block that you can’t live without certain things. Yes, it takes a bit of work and planning, but feeling better is worth it. Once you get past [...]
