Gift giving can always be difficult when you are a new couple. Finding the right gifts for her can be especially hard when the relationship is relatively new.  One thing is for sure, there is a big difference between purchasing a birthday gift for someone you just met or buying anniversary gifts for a long term relationship.  Here are a couple factors to consider: Cost. If you are in a

                    Whether you met via an online dating service or a speed dating event you and your new companion have decided to get to know each other better and perhaps take it to the next level.  This isn't always easy for dating parents because children are involved.  It is important to find out just how they feel. Once you get to know someone and decide to take it to the next step it can

I just recently got to test drive the 2011 KIA Optima SX Turbo and I have to tell you - this car is simply amazing and FUN! For right around $30K loaded, this was an amazing vehicle to drive.  Most people wouldn't think to associate KIA with the words amazing, fun, fast, sexy, sleek, or stylish, but there is no other words to describe what they have done with the Optima Turbo.

It's time to liven up our bedroom in preparation for Spring.  Since Punxsutawney Phil told us today that Spring will be here early I am in the mood to shop.   I have a credit on my CSN Stores account and found some great modern bedding that I totally fell in love with. The problem is that my taste is a bit different from my husband's taste and we can't decide on which to purchase. Do we go

Is your child’s safety important to you? Did you know your child is at risk of injury and death due to seatbelt slack (looseness) when riding in a booster seat? Three-point seatbelts, commonly used in motor vehicles, compromise your child’s safety when riding in the car and is a major contributor to injuries and deaths in vehicular accidents. That’s why SeatSnug® was developed. The SeatSnug®

It’s hard to find plus-size lingerie for women online. You might find a site or two, but the selection is small and the quality is usually lacking. A friend of mine pointed out lingerie.com carries a wide selection for plus-size women regardless if you are looking for something classy, sexy, fun, or frisky. I normally sleep in a t-shirt and pajama pants. My lucky husband has seen this same

I am going to feature a review for some awesome products within the next few weeks, but first I want to tell you know what a difficult time I had picking out the items to review.  I'm always looking for new decorative items for my house and I found these cute bathroom vanities that I really liked.  Unfortunately we do not own our current home and I would hate leaving it behind, so I chose

Being a woman is a wonderful thing, but one week a month I would trade in all my estrogen for some testosterone.  However, I recently got to review something that made my monthly pain much more tolerable and I wanted to share that with you.  It's the Hottie. The Hottie is like a hot water bottle without the water.  Every month I would say to myself that I need a hot water bottle and every month

For families on a budget here are some creative and affordable vacation ideas I would like to share: 1. Go camping! If you don't own a tent, borrow one. It is much cheaper than paying for a hotel and it fosters "family time". 2. When traveling long distances book your airline reservations early and look at some discount sites such as Expedia and Priceline or join a larger airlines email list

I am a huge fan of tulips.  They are simple, beautiful, and make me feel happy. I ordered a boutique of tulips from Flowerspot.com a week ago and have them right in front of my computer to help calm me when motherhood gets chaotic (which is frequently in my house).  In the past week I have taken so many pictures of them that you can find tulips as my background on my computer and cellphone.

I always remember cheering on Jerry when I was young, but as an adult I now have a better understanding of how Jerry is manipulating Tom. My youngest son and I have been spending a lot of time watching the new 2-disc DVD set over the past couple weeks and it is interesting to

Hello everyone! I'm so glad you came to visit! For those of you who were here last year, I'm glad you came back. I'm in California today on business, but I'm taking a couple minutes to post a quick post welcoming you! I started Mom of 2 Boys, Wife of 1 late January of 2009.

Our campaign is coming to a close, but my love affair for my Frigidaire Gallery Counter-Depth Refrigerator has only grown stronger.  Although the campaign is drawing to a close, the refrigerator is still running strong.  I thought I would share with you some of my favorite features that I have enjoyed for my last post. I absolutely love the alarm.  In my house the boys don't always close the

Chili's Grill & Bar is now offering a bunch of new menu items focused on being freshly prepared recipe items.  We ordered the Loaded Nachos Appetizer (I had one, but that was enough for me - the nachos are very filling).  They were my husband's favorite item of the night.  He said next time he would order just the 8 for dinner and be satisfied.  I think it was the cilantro sour cream that set

Some of you may have read my post last month about Blockbuster Express where I was able to have a "cheap" date with hubby for under $25.  If you haven't read it you should.... I'm writing again today because Blockbuster Express wants to give one of my awesome readers this Presto Orville Redenbacher's Hot Air Popper so you can experience the movie theater feel at home.

I saved the best for last.  The email feature of my Palm Pre Plus has been a blessing.  I have four accounts that pour into my phone.  It is easy to use and just as easy to keep organized.  I can even flag the important emails to pull them up quickly. I can view various attachments such as Word, Excel, and PowerPoint.  I never have to worry about missing an important opportunity or business

Tomorrow marks the last day of my Palm Pre Plus posts. My obligation to tell you about this phone will have ended and at that time I can do whatever I want with the phone. I can throw it away. I can sell it. I can "retire" it and bring back my BlackBerry. Guess what I'm going to do?Anyone want to buy a lightly used BlackBerry? Heck yeah I'm keeping my Palm. You couldn't pay me to sell it

Last year I bought a GPS unit for $150 and this year my maps expired. I went online to download the new maps, but it was going to cost me $79.99. That would mean I spent almost $230 for a GPS unit whose maps are only updated whenever I have an extra $80 laying around....never. I found out that my Palm Pre Plus has VZ Navigator a GPS service offered by Verizon with up-to-date maps. The cost?

Today's Mamavation Monday post is dedicated to Earth Footwear. They were a very important part of my weight loss as a Mamavation Mom. I wore my shoes everyday and burned more calories because of it. If you haven't heard of them before they have a unique technology called Kalsø® Negative Heel Technology®. It puts your foot at a slight incline and gives you more burn, tone, and help

Today's feature are the filters on my Frigidaire. Our family drinks A LOT of water.  We went through about 3 cases a week before getting our Frigidaire Professional 22.6 Cu. Ft. Counter-Depth Refrigerator  and since I stopped buying soda I'm sure we would double that now.  The PureSource Ultra filter on our water makes the taste crisper, cleaner, and more fresh than tap water.  I don't worry

I am a twitterholic. I love that I have the capability to tweet on my Palm Pre Plus from anywhere at any time. I love social media apps.  I think I have every one there is in the Palm App Catalog.  It is one of the many features I love and you can check out the apps here on their app site. From their site: "Applications designed for the Palm® webOS™ platform make your phone more powerful,

I've had my Palm now for a couple weeks and so far haven't had any problems other than battery life.  I'm a pretty heavy user though, so I might not be the norm.  I have 5 email accounts that go to my Palm (so very convenient!) and a ton of social media applications that I use regularly.  I also just added Google Voice to my phone because it doesn't have Virtual Voicemail, but now with Google

Did I get your attention? My brother in-law (Jeff) and his wife (Sabrina) just found out they are going to have a baby and I'm so excited for them.  For me, my baby days are pretty much over (much to my husband's dismay).  Even though I don't want any more kids (I'm 43), I do absolutely love babies.  I love their innocence.  I love how they explore everything around them and look at it with

Congratulations Jen from After the Alter! I was tweeting a couple months ago about how badly I needed new pillows and that I had not been sleeping well.  Mattress Giant asked me if I would be interested in trying one of their Natura brand pillows and I jumped at the chance.  It wasn't until that day that I realized they make different pillows for people depending on what position you sleep in

One of my favorite things about my new Palm Pre Plus is how easy it is to access the applications.  Unlike many smartphones the Palm allows you to run several applications at once.  This feature has come in handy plenty of times over the past couple weeks. In order to move from one application to another all you have to do is touch the screen and move one out of the way.  Verizon has a very cool

I was recently challenged to have a cheap date for under $25 by Blockbuster Express.  Have you ever heard of Blockbuster Express?  I never did until recently.  Next time you are in the grocery store look around to see if you see something that looks like this... It is a Blockbuster Express kiosk.  You can rent a movie after checking out of the grocery store for $1.  Yes, just $1!  Our closest

I'm a pretty busy person as many of you know, therefore I tend to power shop when I make it to the grocery store. I buy a lot of meat and frozen foods to fill my freezer for two weeks at a time. It puts a lot of strain on a normal freezer to freeze that much food without dropping the temperature and risking defrosting what is already frozen. One of my favorite functions of my Frigidaire

Since my weight loss / healthy lifestyle change started in January there are certain things I have became very aware of such as the importance of eating a healthy breakfast. One brand of cereal stood out in my campaign and that was General Mills. Not because I was asked to do this post, but because I enjoy their cereal. Finding out it was a healthy, whole grain choice was a bonus.

I am a busy mom.  I work FT outside the home.  I blog.  I own a social network for review bloggers, companies, and PR.  This past week with my Palm Pre Plus has cut HOURS out of my schedule.  How you ask?  Well, the biggest time saver for me this week was when my internet went out on Monday morning.  Everyday before I go to work I spend about two hours going through emails, setting up posts,

CONGRATULATIONS NANNYPANPAN AND JC  As many of you know I have just finished up the Mamavation campaign and lost 30 lbs. I've also made some healthy changes to my families diet. One thing I have incorporated is Horizon Organic Lowfat Chocolate Milk with DHA Omega-3. Children (and adults) love chocolate milk and I don't want to deprive my family of all that is yummy. However, I do have choices

This is my first Monday not being the Mamavation Mom. I officially finished this past Friday with a combined total weight loss of 30.6 lbs. I met my goal of getting under 200 lbs. by the end of the campaign. Woot! Woot! My new goal is to get down to 175 lbs. by the time I go back to California in July.How will I achieve that goal? I plan on sticking to my healthy food choices and keeping up

Last week I switched. I put my BlackBerry Storm to rest and got a Palm Pre Plus! One thing I loved about the Palm Pre Plus was the size. It fits comfortably in the palm of your hand (no pun intended). I also like how it slides up to unveil a full-size QWERTY keyboard! Although this is a touch phone I don't have to struggle with hitting the right spot on the screen to make sure I type the

When I have a bunch of entries on a giveaway I want it to be as obvious as possible that I am honest about the random winner. I hate that everyone can't win. Therefore, sometimes I let my twitter followers pick the winner. The first tweet I got was....And the corresponding winner?I'm emailing you now!Isn't that fun?

I lost weight last week. I also busted my butt. Katie did too. We rocked it...How is any of this possible? Well, without our sponsors, sistahood, family/friends, and Leah it would nearly be impossible. #Mamavation works, because together we make it work. Our sponsors such as Earth Footwear, EA Sports Active, Smooth Fitness, Gruve, Gaiam, Tracey Mallet, Pete Cohen, Dr. Renna, and others give

You might remember me mentioning that I was chosen as a Frigidaire Test Drive Mom and received an awesome Professional Series refrigerator earlier this month from Mom Central, but I haven't really mentioned it since then... I wanted to get familiar with it and make sure that what I post is my true, honest opinion. So, here it is....It is by far the best thing I have ever owned! I love, love,

Have I told you how much I love my @EarthFootwear? I do. You have to get a pair if you are serious about losing and toning - they are simply amazing!Last week was challenging. I was having a difficult time balancing my life. I was torn between working out, menu planning, husband, kids, dogs, work, blog, The Product Review Place, twitter, Mamavation, BookieBoo, @Pete_Cohen, and everything

My youngest boy has this weird fascination for my boots. His dad has a fit every time he sees him wearing them. I don't like it either - not because they are girl boots - but because they cost $110. I keep telling him they are girl boots, but he doesn't care. He said he loves how they sound when he walks and they feel good. Yesterday was his birthday and one of the things he wanted was a

Confession: I'm kind of in a rut the past few days. It seems like my schedule got so hectic all of a sudden and I'm having a hard time prioritizing my time. I know working out has to fit in there somewhere. For those of you who work outside of the home I'm sure you understand (or at least I hope I'm not alone). I've been eating right - except today I broke down and had 10 peanut M & Ms. I

However, I promise to put up a post today. I'll probably do a giveaway. I still need to tell you all about my awesome Frigidaire too! Lots to say...just need to find the time to say it all...stay tuned. Oh, for those of you following my weight loss - here is my most recent scale picture (down 22 lbs!).

Well, time is flying and I realize I have a lot of work to do still. I have definitely made some huge changes since we started, but I don't think they are true habits yet. According to Pete Cohen it takes roughly 21 days for something to become a habit. (Plug: Check out Weightloss Guru!) I do believe that water is now a habit since I did the official switch on January 2nd, but I still have a

Misikko.com gave me the opportunity to review the Hana Elite (that sells for $229.99) from their professional flat irons line. I also received some shine shield to use in conjunction with the flat iron. Before I go much further I have to tell you prior to owning this the flat iron I had was bought at Wal-Mart. It was my very first flat iron and I hated it. Not only did it yank pieces of my

Welcome to Thursday's Thoughts. This is my first week of being one of the official Mamavation Moms and I thought I would share with you a little about my week. As many of you know I found out last Thursday night that I was one of the two women who would enter the 7-week bootcamp ran by Leah (aka @bookieboo) to help me transition into a new lifestyle of health and fitness. Katie, @FrugalFemina,

Yep, you heard me right. I have the privilege of testing Frigidaire's Professional Series Refrigerator! Isn't it gorgeous? It was delivered on Friday and I've been so busy with it that I forgot to tell you about it. Okay, my embarrassing truth...you know you are redneck when your old refrigerator door shelves are held in place with duct tape. Yep, my old fridge had duct tape holding it

My family actually put off playing it for about two weeks - it just looked too cutesy. So, one night we were sitting around and decided to throw it in and try it out and my husband and 16 year old played until 2 am. There is cartoon violence, so I

I've been hearing a lot of women complaining that their earbuds keep popping out of their ears and that if they do get them to stay in they irritate their ears. I have the same problem. I cannot use normal earbuds for too long. They make some others that are adjustable, but those are also uncomfortable. I don't think the sound quality is that great either. I can still hear my kids playing in

I'm so excited about it too - welcoming more people means more support on our journey of a healthy lifestyle change.As promised, I did weigh myself last week.

Are you tracking Santa today? He has already delivered presents to children in Japan and Indonesia. Find out where he is now by checking NORAD's Official Santa Tracker.I won a free iCaughtSanta giveaway from Erin at Mom Buzz and we are prepared for tomorrow. You have to check it out - tomorrow morning my 5 year old will wake up and find this picture of Santa at our house giving him presents.
