It’s time for true confessions: 1. I don’t like chocolate. Perhaps that makes me weird. I don’t care. 2. I recently went to a benefit for a local high school only because Tony Dovolani from Dancing with the Stars was hosting. 3. When I get Wii and DSi games to review….I give them to my [...]

So, this weekend, I went to the SVMOMS/BitMoms brand/blogger roundtable/schmooze fest. (OK, no more slashes for this entire post, I promise.) I had a great time re-connecting with and/or (oops! slash alert!) meeting some very cool blogging moms, like CultureMom, Marinka, Linsey Krolick (finally!) and Mastermind Mommy I also got to meet a lot of [...]
Freebie for Meebie: Dermalogica NYC

I have often been annoyed at the fact that while I spend a fair amount of time writing this blog, I earn a whole lotta nothing for doing so. My friend from Beccarama told me that her husband says that there’s no way a whole bunch of men would be writing all of this stuff [...]
Avon Reversalist: Product Review
Posted in Aging, Beauty, Reviews, Shopping, Skin Care, tagged Avon Reversalist, dark circles, Skin Care on April 23, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
So it’s no secret that I’m none too thrilled with the state of my skin. But neither am I willing to spend a bazillion dollars on creams and lotions for it. I guess the bottom line is, I just don’t believe that it makes all that much of a difference which product you use – [...]
DSi XL: Bigger really is better
Posted in Family, Reviews, cooking, tagged America's Test Kitchen Let's Get Cooking, Big Screen DSi, DSi XL, Nintendo DSi on March 28, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
Seems like we like everything big in this country. Big cars, big hair, big portions in big fast food restaurant chains. And now, big handheld games. With a screen that’s 93% bigger than a DSLite, the new DSiXL, releasing today, is poised to be the – if you’ll excuse the expression - next big thing [...]
PokeMon HeartGold and SoulSilver: Finally, A DS game a mother can love!

Let’s face it. Most mothers out there have a love/hate thing going on with the handheld gaming systems our kids play with. One the one hand, they keep them busy on long car rides, while waiting at the doctor’s office, during your book club meeting. On the other hand, well, they’re handheld gaming systems! Your [...]

Yes, it’s true! I am just that fabulous! So fabulous that I have been awarded not one but TWO blog awards in the past few weeks. The first is The Sunshine Award and it comes from Dawn at Dawning@blogspot.com, and I have to admit, this one means a lot. Why? Let me count the ways: [...]
Sears: You Stink!
Posted in Family, Rants, Reviews, tagged broken dryer, lots of laundry, Sears Stinks on February 11, 2010 | 5 Comments »
I am officially a housewife. Know how I know? Because much of my time over the past month has been spent talking about, worrying about, arguing about, and bemoaning the loss of — my dryer. Anyone with kids (and lets face it, a husband) knows: there is no end to the laundry. I sometimes feel [...]
You Need a New Bra!

I have big boobs. That’s just a fact. And lest you think I’m bragging about it, let me tell you the truth about big boobs: after you have children, after you nurse children, after gravity takes its toll, after forty, big boobs are saggy boobs. Perky and 36DD are simply not words you hear together, [...]

I love being out of the city. The flowers, the sea, the incessant barking of the dog of the people renting the house next door. Sunshine, fresh air. Picking the herbs I need to cook instead of spending $1.50 a bunch for them, using only a few tablespoons worth, and waiting until the rest gets [...]
