Recipies, reviews and random rants from a mom of two!
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...]
Amazing. That’s the one word that comes to mind when I hear the name Gwyneth Paltrow. Not only is she an accomplished actress, she can also sing (did you see her on Glee), she’s a best-selling author and of course, she kicks some major booty in Iron Man 3 playing Pepper Potts, Tony Stark’s love interest and the CEO of his company. Myself and 24 other bloggers … [Read more...]
Disclosure: I was provided with all-expense paid trip to the premiere of Iron Man 3 by Disney/Marvel. Regardless statements and opinions are all my own. When I found out that I would be attending the Iron Man 3 Hollywood premiere at the El Capitan Theatre, my heart skipped a beat. Or two. Nah, I'm pretty sure it stopped for a few seconds. Me? Attending the … [Read more...]
I am a member of the Collective Bias® Social Fabric® Community. This shop has been compensated as part of a social shopper insights study for Collective Bias® and Mariano’s #cbias #SocialFabric I'm kind of a grocery store snob. Wait, not kind of, I AM a grocery store snob. When I walk into a grocery store I like to be inspired. Whether it's freshly baked … [Read more...]
When you move to a new city, the first thing you have to do is build your network. You figure out who your pediatrician will be, where you're going to get your hair and nails done and because you'll need some adult only time at some point, someone whom you can trust to watch your children at a fair and reasonable price. I usually prefer to get references from people I come … [Read more...]
Thanks to the Fairy Hobmother for sponsoring this post. For the past week I've been pounding the pavement trying to find a house in my price range to buy. After renting for 2 years, I'm over funding someone else's retirement. I want a place that I can again call my own where I can paint the walls any color I want, have as many pets as I need and be able to sit in the … [Read more...]
Thank you to Gymboree for sponsoring this post. I have a well-traveled 3-year old. It started at 6 weeks of age when she took her first flight from North Carolina to Iowa. After being such a good little traveler, her dad and I knew that she would catch our traveling bug too. For the next 3 years, she flew and drove all over the country with us. Yes, these little feet … [Read more...]
I participated in a campaign for Mom Central Consulting on behalf of the Finds mobile app. I received a promotional item as a thank you for participating. You know the feeling. You're out running errands and suddenly your car makes an erratic u-turn. Instead of going to the grocery story, it decides it wants to go into the clothing store just a few blocks away. You … [Read more...]
As if the wait for the premiere wasn't bad enough, now Disney and Marvel are teasing me by releasing a new Iron Man 3 movie clip. I had to watch the clip twice but not for the reason you're thinking. In the clip Tony Stark tells news reporters his address. What? Tony Stark's address? That can't be a real address, right? Or could it.... My curiosity got the best of me and … [Read more...]
Thank you to Premier Protein for sponsoring this post. When my daughter and her dad decided to go to Florida for part of Spring Break, part of me was kind of excited. Sure I was going to miss her but I also thought about all the things I could get done while she was gone. I could get caught up on my contract work, do my homework without being interrupted and maybe even … [Read more...]
