Do you remember me telling you about the new entertainment center Main Event in Alpharetta? I have now had several opportunities to check it out and I am very impressed. Main Event gave me a complimentary birthday party (though I paid for extras) so I could see firsthand how much pride they take in their […]

I’m here! Focusing on the business of blogging at #TypeACon
I didn’t get a manicure. Or a pedicure. I didn’t cut and color my hair. I don’t have costumes picked out for the parties. I don’t even know what the parties are (except for the #DisneySide party because…well…It’s Disney). My clothes aren’t new. My shoes are utilitarian. BUT I’M HERE at Type A Parent Conference! […]
[VIDEO] That time I was on ABC World News Tonight…
I’m so lucky! I got to spend an afternoon with the beautiful and oh so nice Paula Faris and got to learn some great tips for buying our next Swagger Wagon. The best part about the national TV spots I’ve done is that friends and family far and wide get to see a slice of […]
Fall fashion for Plus-Sized Women #MacysEvents
I had the opportunity to attend a Fall fashion show for plus-sized women at Macy’s Lenox Square last week thanks to SheSpeaks. While I was compensated for my time, my real reward was getting to meet the host for the night, Emme, the world’s first plus-sized super model. And for all us girls who never […]
@Leapfrog is making Fitness Fun! #FitMadeFun
I was happy when MomSelect asked me to host a #FitMadeFun Mommy Party in conjunction with Clif Kid and Leapfrog’s new LeapBand activity tracker. I was sent products to test and giveaway but of course that didn’t affect my opinion displayed here. And my opinion of the LeapBand is very high! My only issue is […]
Dr. Oz is Coming to Atlanta for Health Expo #DrOzOn2
I met Dr. Oz when I was a producer at The Oprah Winfrey Show (a lifetime ago). He was this uber smart doctor who got the “Queen of Talk” to chat about poop and farting. His popularity soared and his own TV show, The Dr. Oz Show was born. And starting this Fall a new […]
A Victorious Day #March4Peace
You didn’t hear about the #March4Peace on the 11pm news last night. It wasn’t written about in your Sunday paper today. It didn’t make the CNN crawl or trend on Twitter. But the #March4Peace had an impact in so many little ways. I call it a victorious day! A robust gathering of moms, dads, kids, […]
The Ikea 2015 Catalog is Here! Enter to win a $100 giftcard!
It’s no secret that I love Ikea. I am, after all, one of their key demographic. I am a mom. I like things inexpensive, but not cheap. I am a fan of modern furnishings. I big-fat-puffy-heart warm cinnamon rolls (especially when I can get six of them for $4). Throw in a supervised kids area, […]
Kids Birthday Party Venue: Main Event Entertainment center
Looking for a unique kids birthday party venue? Check out Main Event Entertainment center! I ALWAYS find myself in the predicament of looking for a different kids birthday party venue. Being a “mom of many”, I need three things when it comes to hosting a birthday party: Easy, Affordable, and Fun. I heard about a […]
