One of my favorite parts of Christmas is getting cozy on the couch while guzzling wine and scarfing down popcorn (because I’m classy like that) to watch Christmas movies. I can’t really say that I have a favorite. I mean, if you held a gun to my head and made me choose, I’d probably say […]

Make Christmas Magical! 10 Fun Christmas Traditions
November 28, 2012 19 Comments
Before my daughter was born, Christmas was just a day to spend with family over a good meal, giving presents and, of course, receiving. Now that I have a child, I’m excited to start some new family traditions. I would say that I’m more excited for Christmas now than I was as a kid. Of […]
Lights, Camera, Aliens! Our Pre-Turkey Day Men In Black 3 Movie Night
November 27, 2012 23 Comments
Last month, you might remember me talking about our absence at the movie theater in the two years since our daughter was born. We’ve missed a lot of movies on the big screen in that time, which means we’re pretty much a DVD-only family now. In last month’s post, I talked about buying the pre-order […]
Creating Brighter Holiday Smiles with Colgate Holiday Packs
November 26, 2012 32 Comments
As a kid, one of my favorite things about Christmas was the stocking. It hung there empty for so many days and nights before magically filling with a seemingly endless supply of small gifts and treats. As a mother, that excitement is there still there, as I find myself putting a lot of thought into […]
What Every Mom Should Know About Preemies and RSV
November 25, 2012 16 Comments
I consider myself very lucky. Lucky, because our little one was born precisely on her due date. Her punctuality is something only about five percent of babies experience, but did you know that about 12 percent of babies are born prematurely (defined as any baby born before 37 weeks)? Because they’re born early, preemies’ immune […]
Two Meals, One Key Ingredient: My Review of Tyson Crispier Breaded Chicken Filets
November 23, 2012 42 Comments
As the mother of a two-year-old, I can tell you – it’s not easy to plan meals that appeal to both adults and toddlers. Actually, that’s not true. My husband and daughter would be more than happy to have macaroni and cheese and hot dogs every other night. I, on the other hand, would prefer […]

Thankful

Well, tomorrow is Thanksgiving. Bright and early, we’ll pack up the family and head over the river and through the woods (quite literally) to Grammy’s house for a feast. Since we’ll all be in a turkey coma, myself included, I’ve decided to list 10 things I’m thankful for today. Thanksgiving is one of my favorite […]
Saluting My Veteran with a Delicious Pairing from Sam’s Club and Starbucks
November 16, 2012 28 Comments
My husband, the veteran. He’d describe himself as many things – a husband, a father, a rabid Mets fan – but he’s also a former member of the United States Navy, and it’s something I’m extremely proud of. He doesn’t talk much about his six years on a nuclear submarine, but I know he’s proud […]
