Review: Sawgrass Marriott Golf Resort and Spa is great for golfers as well as families
I was given complimentary accommodations and a spa treatment in order to review this property. I was thrilled to be invited down with my family but all opinions are my own. So it is Spring Break and your kids want to go to the beach. But you live in Atlanta. Where do you go that […]
My super hero-in-training and Matchbox cars
I’m a boy mom. Sure I do have one girl but with three boys in the house I have cars, planes, trains, and all sorts of vehicles littering my house. When potty training my boys, their reward for staying dry was to be able to pick out a new Matchbox car. They LOVE that. (And […]
My Introduction to the Boys & Girls Club
Recently I was invited to the Brookhaven Boys & Girls Club to take a tour and learn more about what they offer the community. I went because I honestly knew very little about Boys & Girls Clubs of America (BGCA) except that Denzel Washington was a member and I wanted to find out more. I […]

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 […]
The “joys” of taking a prenatal vitamin; A Premama review
My friends at MomSelect asked me to review Premama, a new prenatal vitamin supplement. They know I’ve been pregnant or breastfeeding for 6 of the last 6 1/2 years and figured I know a little something about these vitamins. For more information on Premama check them out on Facebook. Here’s my honest review: Disclosure: I […]
Rockin’ out with LeapFrog
I love a good party (naturally) and one with giveaways is even better. So when my friends at MomSelect asked me to host a Touch Magic for LeapFrog playdate, I was thrilled. My kids have been eyeing the Touch Magic products at Target for weeks so this was a great chance to give let them […]
