Recipies, reviews and random rants from a mom of two!
For Mother’s Day as part of a sponsored post for Collective Bias®, I treated myself and bought this awesome Samsung Smart Camera and Tab Bundle from Sam's Club. As always, statements are 100% mine and yours may differ. As much as I love technology, I'm a late adopter. I know, you're probably thinking what do I mean by that? Well, I will do everything I can online and … [Read more...]
I participated in a campaign on behalf of Mom Central Consulting for Aflac. I received a promotional item as a thank you for participating. I've worked in the healthcare field for 20 years. I remember the days when you could go to any medical provider you wanted, deductibles were $100 and co-pays for office visits didn't even exist. Fast forward and you now have a … [Read more...]
Disclosure: I received an awesome all-expense paid trip to LA to attend the premiere of Iron Man 3. While I was there I had the privilege of touring the Disney Soda Fountain and Studio Store and The El Capitan Theatre. Regardless, all statements are 100% mine and so are the pictures! :) Mickey waffles at the Disney Soda Fountain and Studio Store. A private tour of The … [Read more...]
Disclosure: I was provided with an all-expense paid trip to attend the premiere of Iron Man 3 in LA where I had the opportunity to interview Gwyneth Paltrow and talk to her about her new cookbook, 'It's All Good." As always, statements are 100% mine and yours may differ. Life is good for Gwyneth Paltrow. Not only did she star in the blockbuster (yes, I'm calling it a … [Read more...]
After an amazing experience on the red carpet for the Iron Man 3 premiere, 24 bloggers and myself spent the next day recovering from all the excitement. Between the "special surprise" and the premiere, it was nice to be a tourist for the day and take in a few of the things that make LA what it is. After eating breakfast at the Disney Soda Fountain & Studio Store and … [Read more...]
This shop is part of a social shopper marketing insight campaign with Pollinate Media Group™ and Lifeway Kefir but all my opinions are my own. #pmedia #LifewayProBugs http://cmp.ly/3/8vNxcO It never fails. Get me with a certain group of friends and we end up talking about bodily functions. Who is, who isn't, how often, etc. It's not that our minds instantly go to … [Read more...]
If you're a blogger, one of the things you must do if you want to be a "professional" is attend a blogging conference. I kick myself daily (I must stop doing this) for thinking that I didn't need a conference and that I could learn everything I needed to know online. What I've come to realize is sure, conferences are about learning (Dan Morris just rocked my world at … [Read more...]
My word for Gwyneth Paltrow was amazing. For Ty Simpkins, the first word that comes to mind is adorable. When I found out we were going to interview Ty Simpkins, I immediately looked him up on IMDb. At the young age of 11, Ty has appeared in several television shows and movies. He's starred in Insidious and most recently, he holds his own in Iron Man 3 playing Harley … [Read more...]
When I found I was going to the Iron Man 3 premiere I knew I was going to take a ton of pictures. What I didn't know was how I was going to carry around my DSLR camera and all the gear I had. Usually I put my camera in my purse and hope for the best. I knew traveling half-way across the country I needed a better solution. I set out looking for stylish camera bags that … [Read more...]
Disclosure: I received an all-expense paid trip to see the movie from Disney/Marvel. Regardless, the statements below are 100% mine and yours may differ. You know how I know when I really like a movie? When I don’t get up to go to the bathroom once! Seriously, even though the urge was there, there was never a point in Iron Man 3 that I could walk away even for a few … [Read more...]
