I am not a runner. I am not a fitness guru. I like the gym because it has childcare not because I enjoy working out. I'm really just an average mom of three still carrying a little extra baby weight but I RAN A 5K! The <a href="http://EmpowHER.com">EmpowHER</a> crew, who is sponsoring my BlogHer experience, […]
New affordable birthday party option: Sugar Rush at Northpoint Mall
I love a good candy store and it doesn’t hurt that this one is at my favorite mall. I drive about 20 miles each way just to go to Northpoint because of their children’s play area, the cool Merry Go Round and (if I’m lucky) a bit of shopping in H&M, Macy’s or Gap. They […]
Using P&G coupons this Sunday can help at-risk youth
I have started using coupons in the last 6 months or so and it really has saved our family hundreds and probably thousands of dollars. I get excited when I get a good deal and coupons are the way to go to get a lot of them. The only thing better then a good deal […]
My visit to the Atlanta Community Food Bank
My three little ones snacked on juice and cookies while learning about helping others. I had the opportunity today to visit the Atlanta Community Food Bank along with my children. We were invited to witness the amazing donation by Kimberly-Clark of 200,000 Huggies diapers. Wow! Did you know 1 in 3 American mothers struggle to provide […]
Mocha Moms rocked Las Vegas
Last week I was in lovely Las Vegas enduring the 100+ degree temperatures (but it’s a “dry heat”…yeah right) to hang out at the Mocha Moms Inc national conference. Mocha Moms Inc is a national non-profit support organization for stay-at-home moms of color (though probably half of all members work for pay in some capacity). I’ve been […]

Monday night is “Under the sea” family night at Chick Fil A Vinings
I LOVE family night at Chick Fil A! The Vinings CFA is my favorite because they have a great playground and especially nice employees. All kids get a free kids meal and free ice cream. It’s especially great for families like mine who’s kids outnumber adults. Be sure to go early as it gets crowded. […]

Winnie the Pooh is a must see
Thanks to my “ranking” on Klout.com, I was invited to an advance screening of the Disney movie, Winnie the Pooh at Atlantic Station’s Regal Theater. My 4 and 2 year olds joined me and I’m so glad they did. Winnie the Pooh is the PERFECT movie for the younger set. It is only an hour […]
This is what my family will do for free Chick Fil A
Donning homemade cow costumes (Mickey Mouse ears look like cow ears, right?), my 3 little ones helped us get a nice night out at our favorite Chick Fil A in Vinings. I love discounts and coupons and a free Friday night dinner was not something I was going to pass up. Plus, the kids had […]
