I LOVE photo projects! My husband always jokes with me about how I take way too many pictures and then don't know what to do with them. If it was bad before we had my son, you can just imagine how bad it is now! There is only so much wall space available so it ... Read More »

I couldn't wait to go "away" to college when I was a teenager. All I wanted to do was "grow up" and move away from mommy and daddy (and now all I want to do is stay young!). So I moved up to Santa Barbara from Los Angeles and lived in a dorm like all of the other teenagers searching for freedom. Do you know that I came home almost every weekend? I was that... Read More »

Just because I'm a mom doesn't mean lost my femininity. I like to look nice and I like to spend a little time each day putting on lip gloss, powder, and eye shadow. What I don't like are heavy makeups that look unnatural and clog my pores! Because I'm a mom and a nurse, I like natural, flawless coverage that accentuates my lips and my eyes (two of my husband...

I didn't grow up around computers. In fact, I remember getting my very first computer at the end of my high school years, in preparation for college. My son, along with millions of other children, will grow up in an era that knows nothing but computers. I wouldn't be surprised if my son ended up with his own in a few years. More and more companies are deve... Read More »

It's time for yet another fun, pampering review just for you moms! BC (before children), I got a manicure every two weeks, minimum. I LOVE having perfectly groomed fingers and toes. But mostly I love the splash of color that makes my fingernails stand out. What I don't love is the harsh smell that accompanies nail polish! I don't know about you, but the ga... Read More »

I am fortunate to have a job where I can wear pajamas scrubs that can be laundered easily without worrying about ironing. My husband does not fare as well. His pile of dry cleaning is threatening to come take over our bedroom. And...he waits forever to do it so we end up spending a lot of money on his dry cleaning bills. Sometimes I wish he could wear his ... Read More »

I'm constantly searching for fun, affordable activities to do with my son. We get 5 days a week together so I try to fill them with play dates, museum visits and our weekly trip to Disneyland. I've never been to a Disney On Ice Show but it looks like it would be something interactive and enjoyable for our family. If they are as magical as the theme parks, I defi... Read More »

Cleaning, in and of itself, is not high up on my list of "fun things to do," and when you add in the smells and the chemicals, I just find myself despising the entire process. That's not to say that I don't like a clean house...it's just the process of getting the... Read More »

My husband and I love getting artsy with photography. We do a ton of photo projects and try to preserve memories in unique and special ways. My husband and I are always looking for ways to take our pictures to that next level and in order for us to display a... Read More »

Last fall, I wrote about Bella Sara, a very popular trading card product that was created specifically for girls. While I don't have a little girl (at least not YET!), I definitely want to share with you the latest. If you're not familiar with the company, here's a little more information from the site:

Well it's the middle of my week of beauty reviews and I've got another fabulous mommy must-have! There are a lot of products I can't justify spending money on...self-tanners come to mind (keep in mind I'm exotic Puerto Rican with olive-toned skin). But when it comes to my hair...I'm so there (I know...cheesy!). Seriously...if you can see it...I want it looki... Read More »

Winter is not over yet and while my son loves to be outside, there are some days where it's just too cold. A week or so ago we had some strong storms and I was struggling to find something to do with my son other than play and TV. We like to go to museums and other indoor places, but sometimes it's nice (and more affordable) to just stay at home. Playing is ... Read More »

I was talking to another mom from my son's playgroup about how clumsy I've become since having my son. This, of course, was right after I spilled frozen yogurt on my shirt. On any given day of the week, you'll find some evidence of my toddler on my clothing...juice, milk, paint, markers, dirt...the list goes on and on. There is a fabulous company called Mi...

Do you know what I absolutely love reviewing? Beauty and skin care products! As a mom, it's not as easy to find the time or justify the expense of products for me. When I married my husband, I vowed to continue to make myself look nice every day and not "slack off." Having a child makes this a little more difficult (one day I'll give you some tips about how to... Read More »

I know that there must be someone out there who likes to clean bathrooms. I, however, am not one of them. In fact, my husband and I wait and wait and wait until it gets so unbearably filthy that we're forced to clean it. And now you're probably thinking what a m... Read More »

I have yet another confession to make...I absolutely don't like carpets. They have this very subtle way of trapping dust and dirt and odors and bacteria. The only benefit of carpet is it's ability to pad my son's landings. Since we would never be able to redo our floors with hard wood or laminate...our carpet is hear to stay. The challenge we face is keeping... Read More »

If you have children, then you know how vital it is to have a proper vacuum. A vacuum that actually picks up what it's supposed to pick up! I can almost taste spring and that means it's time to clean...time to ready my house for summer...for family... Read More »
