The day has come and gone! Another family Halloween theme under our belt. I was super excited for this year’s theme, which I picked out. I know, I know, how mean of a mother could I be to not allow my children to pick what they want to dress up as. I’ll get to that in a minute… Last year, we were the Justice League and before the day even…
Basil Pesto & Roasted Corn Rice You know if I have to write a dedicated blog post for a recipe it’s AMAZING! Again, me and cooking don’t mix; I don’t cook original meals too often, I don’t know how to season, I just don’t like it. My go to is always checking out Pinterest for easy recipes. Also, now that I’m trying to not eat too much meat, so I…
*This post “JcPenney’s Peyton and Parker” is being sponsored by Momtrends and JcPenney** From an early age, I was groomed to be a “Shop ‘till You Drop” kind of girl. My mom took me to all the stores… every day it was a new shopping adventure. One of the stores we frequently visited was https://www.jcpenney.com/g/peyton-parker/N-1b2mynb?pageType=X2H2. It was just huge and had everything you needed; clothes for the whole family, accessories,…
Mom’s Night Out with Bloggers There’s nothing better when you get a break from the everyday mom routine and get to have a mom’s night out. Thanks to the fabulous Nicole from Mom Trends, Parents Magazine and Parents Latina, I was invited out to mix and mingle with fellow bloggers and a few brands. If you read an older blog of mine, “Becoming a Blogger”, I gave some tips in…
Target Back-to-School Giveaway Season Annnnnnnd back-to-school is here, I also have a first grader y’all. I’m officially a mother of a 2-year-old and first grader. I still don’t believe I’m a mom sometimes, has it really been 6 years since Ziana Eliz was cut out of me? If it’s one thing I was looking forward to was getting back into routine, although I enjoy sleeping in, it was terrible having…
Our Walt Disney World vacation was sponsored by Disney. All opinions are my own* Three years ago we took our first ever family vacation and we decided that Walt Disney World would be perfect and it was the best decision ever. We had spoken about visiting Disney World again during Christmas and New Years because who wouldn’t want to kick it with Mickey, Beauty and the Best and the rest…
Getting your child into the world of acting or modeling is no easy task. There are thousands of reputable agencies, just like there are thousands of scam agencies. You must always be mindful of what to look for and with years of experience one of the most important things I learned was to follow my instincts. Yet, some people don’t have them or don’t trust them, so I wanted to…
It’s finally time… Ralph Breaks the Internet trailer teaser is here! Everyone loves a bad guy, right? Something intriguing and mystique about them, however, not everyone shares the same sentiments. Six years ago we were introduced to Ralph, Wreck-It Ralph to be specific– the bad guy of his video game. Ralph goes around wrecking everything in sight just to have Fix-It Felix come to the rescue and be the hero…
How often do you wash your hair? Ziana came home from school the other day stating some teacher told her to wash her hair everyday. I immediately got snappy and said, “She doesn’t know what she’s talking about.” I took offense- since I didn’t know the tone in which she said it or even why it came up, I ultimately just thought she was calling my daughter dirty. Took a…
2018 Walt Disney Studios Movie Releases! By now you’re well aware that this family, my family, is all about that Disney life. Anything Disney we are always all the way in. One of our fondest memories were, of course, visiting Walt Disney World and Disneyland each moment magical and something we will never forget, well maybe the kids, but definitely not mommy and daddy! And although we would love to visit the…
Best Crockpot Turkey Chili Last week we were hit with a massive winter storm in NYC; flights were canceled, school was out (which is a good/bad thing depending on if the kids get a long), and two-inches of snow poured down every hour. Yes, two hours! Crazy right? It was gorgeous to look at– from my window. Now, we can handle snow, we’re New Yorker’s we can handle anything, but…
