My Most Popular Blog Post is Getting 12,000 Hits per Month!
I was totally shocked when I recently checked out my visitor stats on Google Analytics. I went from getting just a few thousand visits per month to now more than 14,000 visits per month. I am really not one who blogs “professionally”. I did originally start my blog to go in that direction, but my [...]

My New Found Love for Facebook
My love affair with Social Media and Social Networking started a little over 3 years ago. It all started with MySpace and then Blogging, Twitter, Ning groups, and finally Facebook. I put most of time into Twitter because it has been a wonderful means of connecting for both personal and business. I call it “Relational [...]

Dishwasher for Dummies
We had a dishwasher growing up and it was always my job to unload it after they got washed. And just like any chore I hated it after several years of having to do it all the time. My mom was always in charge of FILLING the dishwasher. She had this WAY that she did [...]
Plugged In Parenting – How to Balance It All
A few months ago I watched a clip on the Today Show about Plugged In Parenting. I tried to find it online, but couldn’t, but I thought this would be a great topic to discuss. This picture says it all. Everyone in the family is using some kind of electronic device (all except the baby [...]
Kirby Vacuums – Not a Fan of Their Sales Approach
How many of you have had your doorbell ring and had a person offer you a free carpet cleaning? How many of you got suckered into it, not realizing that there was a HUGE CATCH attached to the whole thing? Well, yesterday around lunchtime my doorbell rang. The funny thing is that I was still [...]
We All Have Mononucleosis
Can you believe it? My children and I have Mononucleosis (other wise known as “mono” or “the kissing disease”). The only thing I ever knew about mono was from kids in high school who had gotten it and missed like a month of school. For us, it all started back in March when my son, [...]
Are you a Sucker for SALES?
The other day I brought my son to Toys R Us to spend a gift card that he got from his uncle for his birthday. I was excited for him. Even as an adult, I still love Toys R Us. Walking in and seeing all of the fun things and thinking about what my children [...]
Does My Toddler Need Speech Therapy?
This is our middle child – #3 (we have 4 total). He is a very active boy. He is curious and very vocal as well. The only thing is that he doesn’t say too many words yet and the words he does say don’t always make much sense. He does say : “Dada” “Mama” “Nana” [...]

Dealing with a Child who is a Picky Eater
Out of my 4 children, it seems like they are ALL picky with food in some way or another. My youngest is only 5 months, so I suppose I wouldn’t count him just yet. But he is lactose intolerant just like the rest of them (thanks to hubby who has passed this down to them). [...]
Our Saturday Outing in Chappaqua, NY
We really enjoy spending time together as a family, especially after a long work week. Friday evenings and Saturdays are always set aside for us to do something special – preferably with the least amount of money as possible. I often look online for hiking spots and local parks for us to visit. We even [...]
How I SAVE on my Electric Bill
This is the first time my husband and I have ever had to deal with an actual utility bill. Crazy right? Well, all of our previous places to live always had all the utilities included. This was a definite blessing. But before all the flooding chaos began, I actually started to be more frugal and [...]
Our New Home
Well, I am sure many of you have been wondering where I have been for these past couple months. I still can’t believe that it has been so long since I have blogged. I have so much to update you on! In my last post, I mentioned about our apartment flooding AGAIN and the fact [...]
