I didn't think there'd ever come a time in my life when I was a bit disappointed when the weekend came.But now there is.It's so easy during the week. Wake up, get dressed, get boys up, get them dressed, drop them off at daycare, rush to work, work, rush home, make dinner, baths, put the boys to bed, put myself to bed. Repeat.During the week, I function....I do my job, I joke around, I do simple

With childhood obesity reaching an all time high across the country, many parents struggle with how to help their children maintain a healthy weight with proper nutrition. Dr. Joanna Dolgoff, the official doctor of Camp Shane and a board certified pediatrician, has created Dr. Dolgoff's Weigh, a traffic-light system that allows kids to learn which foods are healthiest without counting calories.

I free 320GB Portable Hard Drive.When I opened the packaging for the iDrive Portable I was surprised by its small size. I’ve seen Smart Phones that are bigger than this hard drive.

I just recently came across a new (to me) site at Etsy called Home Studio. I found them through a giveaway someone was doing, and found a pendant I HAD to have. The pendants are designs placed on scrabble pieces. I was a bit leery, as I couldn't believe the designs placed on scrabble tiles could look as good as they do on the website, but I was pleasantly surprised when it did.The pendant came

Lauren was very nice, and Monica sent a GORGEOUS item!What I loved about it when I first looked at it, was it was so colorful! Mine has beautiful pinks and browns and yellows.

I just saw an article on cnn.com this morning. http://www.cnn.com/2008/HEALTH/12/05/happiness.social.network/index.htmlIt states that in a University of California - San Diego study, that happiness spreads more than unhappiness in a social network.I agree with this, to a point. I find unhappiness spreads very quickly itself. It's the whole domino effect. Your kids are mad, they take it out on

Yes, I'm one of the idiots that go out on Black Friday. It's a tradition. Even if the sales aren't so great (like this year), I still go out.I remember the days when I was in the thick of the frenzies... Remember the Furby? I remember that day we did 4 stores in about 45 minutes and FINALLY had success! I also spent a cold, rainy morning in line at Best Buy to get my husband a laptop computer

This is a post long-coming, but most deservedly due.I used to go to Jiffy Lube religiously, on both of our cars. Then we bought cars from a dealership that provided free oil changes, and my trips to Jiffy Lube were relegated to occaisional trips when the dealership was going to charge WAY too much for other services.I don't think I've personally been to a Jiffy Lube in about 3 years.About 2

Gotta love DC area traffic. My husband wound up taking 2.5 hours to drive 35 miles home tonight. Why? Barack Obama was doing a rally in Leesburg. And the most stellar part.... they blocked traffic on Rte. 7, which backed up the Greenway. So after my husband was sitting in traffic, police come by, forcing standstill traffic to move to the shoulders so Barack and the caravan can get by.Well, VA

There was a national stress survey done in October by the American Psychological Association that found that people turning to food to help them feel better increases to 1 in 3 during the during the holidays. 41% of women and 25% of men admit to increased eating during the holidays.Is it really stress related? Sure, there is stress. Trying to get your kids the "it" present that year, trying to

I just got a call from the insurance company today. When my husband was in the first of his two recent accidents, the officer asked my husband for his email address and told him he'd email him the report that night. We never received it. I proceeded to email him 3 more times asking for this report, never to hear back from him. So finally I dropped it, figuring our insurance company would

I was listening to Casey Kasem's top 40 christmas edition this morning.Every time they got ready to break for commercials, Casey would do a commercial for an item he recommended listeners buying for their family.

Season 3 is all over, and the winner is.....

Every season ABC sacrifices this premise to get ratings. Last year, they brought in Drew Lachey, who was in a boy band and was experienced in

Already? Yesterday my father and I were discussing whether I had room in my freezer for the turkey. He mentioned I should probably take it out on Monday. I asked why, he said Thanksgiving is Thursday.Thanksgiving is next Thursday????This year has just flown by. It seems like just yesterday we were celebrating my boys' first birthday, and now it's the middle of November. In 3 weeks my birthday

I'm against hunting. I hate it. I hate the idea of poor innocent deer being gunned down literally by someone who hides hundreds of feet away, makes me mad. If you want to hunt, do it the way the cavemen did... with a ground rock... make them work for it.After this morning, I still feel the same, but dang... I hate Deer.One decided to attack my car this morning. My hubby stopped for one deer,

Just a quick follow-up to my post the other day about Black Friday.My husband and I have spent the day planning strategy. We're sending the boys off to spend the night with their grandparents on Thanksgiving so we can hit some of the online Black Friday deals at midnight, and then it's up bright and early to hit Walmart at 5AM and then run over to Staples at 6. Then to the other stores we want

If you remember, 5 years ago Bill Maher showed himself to be an idiot with his remarks about the terrorists. He lost his TV show, and now has a show on HBO.

Black Friday is the name given to the day after Thanksgiving. It's when nutcases, like me, get up at insane times in the morning to go camp out in front of our favorite stores for their early (usually 5AM) openings to get the amazing sales. For example, one year my husband wanted a laptop. Me, being the terrific wife I am got up to get him his special Black Friday laptop. I got up at 4 AM and

Let me tell you a little about myself.I'm 31, the mother of twin boys (born Feb. 2005), and the owner of my own business. I began my business when the boys were born, because between commuting and working, I was out of the house 12 hours a day.
