Are You Watching Yet?  *The View*

I don’t know about you, but I’m ready for another fantastic week of The View! The line up goes a little something like this: Monday - Start your week off with a Day of Hot Topics. Also, Nathan Fillion (former Joey Buchanan on One Life to Live) drops by to discuss his role as Richard Castle on the ABC drama Castle. Tuesday - Robert Pattinson makes his debut on The View to discuss his new movie Remember Me. His co-star Emilie de Ravin (Lost) also joins, and Mitt Romney talks about his book, No Apology: The Case for American Greatness. Once I heard about my man, Robert Pattinson being on the show, I gave a Mitt who…???  Oh yeah, that boy is some eye candy that I must to have! ... [more]

What’s On The Menu

Brandon and I are working on making dinners easier.  In the last year we’ve really struggled with grocery shopping and meal planning.  In the past, I would go to the grocery store every two weeks.  We’d come home with a load of groceries and still ask…”What’s for dinner?” So, we’ve decided to grocery shop every week, usually on Sunday.  Before going to the store, we sit down to write what’s on the menu.  So far, so good.  This week we’re having: Sunday – Steaks, pasta salad garlic and mushroom green beans Monday – Spaghetti, garlic rolls, salad Tuesday - Sloppy Joe’s, baked french fries Wednesday – Roast Chicken... [more]

Thanks A Million from Banquet!

Growing up, we always had 4-5 pot pies in the freezer for those times when mom didn’t feel like making anything or it was just one of those days.  From what I can remember, my brothers and I didn’t complain!  We loved those things! Now that I’m a mom, I find myself relying on those same pot pies for my kids, er, well one of them.  Johnny is my picky guy and Paige will eat anything!  In fact, it’s gotten to the point that I’ve had to put the Banquet frozen dinner meals in the back of the freezer and hide them with other frozen products.  Out of sight, out of mind for that girl.  Because I can’t resist when she asks a if she can have a “Pot pie! ... [more]

Keeping Hands Germ Free *Giveaway

Flu season is far from over.  I stress hand washing to the kids and when given the opportunity to try out the Healthy Touch No-Touch Hand Soap System from Lysol…I jumped on it!  After all, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends hand washing as the number one way to avoid getting sick and prevent the spread of germs to others. With the Healthy Touch No-Touch Hand Soap System, I’m no longer asking – “Did you use soap?”.  The kids LOVE using this system!  And to be honest, I do too.  No more germy soap pumps!  I keep the system we were sent in the bathroom, and I’m going to purchase another one for the kitchen.  How many times... [more]

Add More ~ing To Your Life!

Recently, I had the opportunity to read Add More ~ing To Your Life:  A Hip Guide to Happiness by Garielle Berstein.  This kind of book isn’t something I typically read, but when you feel as though a change is in order, you’ve gotta do what you’ve gotta do! Gabrielle Bernstein is the gal behind the ~ing.   She’s a motivational speaker and life coach seen riding around the West Village on a unicycle. (Gabrielle, I’m going to keep my eyes out for you when I’m in NYC this summer!) Her approach is woman focused.  She’s founder of HerFuture.com, a mentoring network for women that offers a platform for empowerment and guidance for young women.  Add... [more]

This Week on The View

Are you ready for yet another week of The View?  The line up for the rest of the week is as follows: Tuesday, Feb 23: MTV’s Jersey Shore will be joining the ladies.  Now, I’ll admit…I’ve never seen Jersey Shore.  I still watch MTV, but I’m more inclined to watch Nitro Circus, Jackass or 16…and Pregnant.  From what I do know about Jersey Shore…I’m excited to watch, it will be interesting.  I’ve read several bits of controversy regarding the show. Wednesday, Feb 24: Tune in for the big one,  Nadya Suleman (You know, OcoMom?) will be on the show.  I understand the desire, want and need to have a baby.  And I also want to be supportive... [more]

Feeling Blue

I feel like I’m slacking.  No.  I know I’m slacking.  This mom/student/wife/library lady/blogger gig is kickin’ my booty.  Maybe I’m letting it. It’s been a while since I’ve talked about algebra.  There’s a reason for that. I suck at math.  Period. I made it through one class, drove home in tears and haven’t been the same since.  I don’t know who I was kidding.  I thought I could handle Intermediate Algebra.  It’s been at least 13 years since I last had an algebra class…and this, I couldn’t take. So, I dropped it. Disappointed in me?   Yeah, me too. I wanted nothing more than to suceed.  Get that class behind... [more]

I’m a Brand Ambassador for The View!

I have some exciting news to share!  Friday, I received word that I am an official Brand Ambassador for The View!  *squeeeeeeeee* I started watching The View when I was pregnant with Johnny in 1999.  There were a few years in there when I was working days and wasn’t able to partake in my morning show, summers and non-school days being the exception. That part of the reason I love my job so much, I get to watch The View every single morning.  Working afternoons and evenings does have perks!  Anyway, I love the show because women are able to have different opinions and come from different lifestyles…and it’s okay.  Different generations of women getting together over coffee,... [more]

Going Retro with General Mills Cereal

Last week, I took a trip down memory lane.  As part of a promotion, General Mills, Target Stores and Atari have teamed up to bring sexy the good times back.  Now, in Target stores across the country you can find five limited-edition General Mill cereals sporting retro looks. Each box features a game or toy.  Remember cutting out the back of the boxes?  Ha!  This promotion lasts until March 7th.  General Mills cereals also sport Box Tops 4 Education.  (I collect these puppies faithfully.  If you ever need a place to sent your extra box tops to, email me.) How many readers remember having an Atari?  In 1982, about 10 million people owned and used Atari VCS consoles. We had one…which... [more]

Inside Out

It’s time to get personal. We’ve had some issues arise with Johnny.  He’s started in with attitude, and it’s now hurting him at school.  I’ve mentioned that his defense is “What?  I didn’t do anything!”.  And it’s said in a really snotty tone. Now, he’s acting out in school.  It’s not good.  I know something is going on with him…but he doesn’t want any help. Today we met with his teacher and principal.  He’s finally admitted that he’s being teased, picked on, called names…whatever.  Idiot, retard.  I can’t tell you how much I hate that “R” word.  Johnny said it’s... [more]
