Marvel’s The Avengers Closes The Tribeca Film Festival | Honoring The Real Heroes #TheAvengersEvent

Saturday was an amazing experience I will never forget. We started our day with the incredible experience of interviewing Cobie Smulders (S.H.I.E.L.D. agent Maria Hill) and Tom Hiddleston (Loki) on the 43rd floor of the Trump Soho Hotel (more on that later, though). Soon after our interviews were finished we headed downstairs just in time to see Robert Downey Jr. come downstairs and head out to the mob of Paparazzi (including a topless one!). A … [Read more...]

Travel, Dating and Finding The One

I’ve always wanted to travel oversees. Particularly places like Ireland, France and the UK. The landscapes are beyond breathtaking and to be honest, the accents on the men make them even more attractive *swoon*. I’ve been fortunate in life... I met my husband when I was 16, got married at 18 and started my family at 21. I’ve never really been much of an adventurous type, but if I hadn’t found the love of my life at such an early age I maybe, … [Read more...]

Premier Protein | Sustain Your Energy & Curb Your Hunger

I have been on the go a lot lately. Some days I don’t have time to sit down to eat for long stretches at a time. It’s not a great idea to not eat and other options (like a drive thru) can be total junk and not beneficial to you at all. I’ve started carrying a protein bar with me for times like this. It may seem like such a small amount of food, but it totally stops my stomach from growling and gets me through until the next meal time. Premier … [Read more...]

Dress Barn Clothing For Misses & Woman Review

Several weeks ago I received an amazing email inviting me to New York City to attend the Tribeca Film Festival red carpet screening of Marvel’s The Avengers. After the initial excitement wore off I began to panic a little. As a stay at home mom, I don’t normally dress up... therefore I had nothing to wear. After a little searching I found a dress that works well for me, but I was still very much unaccessorized. Dress Barn heard my cries and … [Read more...]

NIKE Young Athletes Innovation Summit | Update On Joshua’s Day

  Yesterday Joshua (my 15 year old son) and my husband, Jason, flew out to Oregon to visit the NIKE World Headquarters for the Young Athletes Innovation Summit. This was Joshua’s first time flying since he was a tiny baby and he was beyond excited. The experience was great and Josh has a funny story about being stopped for random screening by the TSA. Both of my guys have enjoyed the past two days together. I’m loving the extra … [Read more...]

BlogMania Sponsor Spotlight | Rubbermaid 2-in-1 Recycler Review

Rubbermaid 2-in-1 Recycler Recycling in our city is mandatory. Well, paying for recycling is. We figure if we have to pay, then I guess we’ll play. Fortunately for us our recycling program is a one sort one... meaning we put everything into one container and we’re done with it. Our main issue is having an adequate container to recycle in. With a family of six and three of us home all day long, we product a lot of waste. Rubbermaid heard our … [Read more...]
