Breaking away from the day to day
Mother’s Day is upon us and it’s time to put some thought into the gifts we get…*ahem* give to Mom. Aside from the peace and quiet that every mom deserves, sometimes a gift is a good idea too. Trust me. And not just any Mother’s Day gift will do. Sure we love getting flowers and…
Valentine’s Day is a day to remember the ones you love. Yes, I know that you should remember your loved ones every day, but sometimes it’s fun to get candy, flowers and wear red and pink. I really just celebrate now for my kids…but on the off chance that my husband and I actually celebrate,…
Recently, someone told me that I am the mother of tweens. What say you? No way, my kids are 8 and almost 10! And then it dawned on me…I am the mother of tweens. Tweens are those ages that are no longer little kids, and not quite teenagers yet. It’s almost as if this term…
Last year, my husband gave me some suggestions for gifts (which he rarely does) for the many personalities that he has. He is in love with some new gadgets that he would like to have. Gifts that he would like, but most likely not buy himself. Gifts for the Gadget Loving Dads: …
I love giving DIY handmade gifts to people around holiday time. I feel like the amount of love that you put into making the gift supersedes the amount of money you actually paid for the gift.

I am so not shy about telling people what I want. Just ask my husband. When it’s time for him to give me a gift, I’m not even subtle about giving hints. The “almighty” Pinterest is the BEST place to showcase your holiday wish list! My sister gave me this idea last year and it…
So, I’m a self proclaimed “wine-o.” I enjoy a nice glass of the ol’ “mommy grape juice” from time to time. Ok, maybe more than just time to time…. With the holidays approaching VERY quickly, what better gift guide than a Wine-O Gift Guide? These are some great finds for anyone on your gift list…
For my kids, the first day of school is coming quickly (3 days, 1 hour, 34 mins to be exact). I want them to start a new school year with their best foot forward. New supplies, new clothes and shoes, new haircuts…all in time to meet their new teacher. And speaking of those new teachers,…
Dad, Daddy, Dada, Pop, Papi, Poppa, Father, Faja….whatever you call him, he’s the man that you first loved, the man who holds your heart, your hero. Father’s Day is coming up and it’s time to celebrate him alone. Men are so hard to buy for. Let’s face it, women are pretty explicit about what they…
Mother’s Day is around the corner. A day for all you exhausted moms out there to be recognized and honored for all that you do! In the past, my husband and kids have given me great gifts. Perfume, flowers, DIAMOND EARRINGS…. Let’s just say I’ve been spoiled. This year, we are on a major budget…
