The “BMW” of car seats: the Graco SnugRide Click Connect 40
I had the fantastic opportunity to check out a brand new, high tech car seat by Graco this past week at a fun event with some other mom bloggers. Since I have used the same car seat for four kids over five years, it was high time I checked out a new one. And boy […]
Three Mile Thursdays & Yurbuds
My mom’s group, North Cobb Mocha Moms, gets together to walk/run/stroll at a local track every Thursday. It is so fun to chat while working out. It’s amazing how fast those miles go when you are hanging out with friends! Recently we had the opportunity to check out a new brand of earbuds, Yurbuds. They […]

Making Memories at Disney on Ice: Rockin’ Ever After
I had the opportunity to attend the newest Disney on Ice show, Rockin’ Ever After, at Philips Arena last night and it was SO good. It was even good enough to keep my 4 kids out until 9:30 at night! For a rather regimented organized mom like me that says a lot. The kids loved […]
Maria’s newest favorites
Today’s favorite person is the FedEx man. And can you blame me after seeing the great box of Aveeno goodies he brought me? Ok so they were from the nice folks at Johnson & Johnson and the Latina Lifestyle Bloggers Collective (#LLBLOG) but I thanked the FedEx guy anyway. My new favorite product is the […]
