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 […]
My Cascade Mommy Playdate + Giveaway #cascadeshiningreviews #DDDivas #sponsored
This review was made possible by Double Duty Divas and Cascade. I was provided the featured product free of charge to facilitate my review, but all opinions are 100% mine. “Cascade Platinum delivers Cascade’s ultimate clean for dishes.” That’s the line I got from my friends at Double Duty Divas when they asked me to try it […]

I received accommodations and a resort credit in order to facilitate a review of the newly renovated Crown Reef Beach Resort in Myrtle Beach, SC last month. Of course, all opinions here are my own. And you know I have opinions! The truth is that the Crown Reef Beach Resort is a great value for […]
My @JohnnyRockets Milkshake: Brownie Brittle A La Mode #MyRocketShake
Did you know National Shake Month is September? My friends at Johnny Rocket’s hipped me to this fact and I thank them profusely. They were a sponsor at this year’s Blogger Bash in New York City and asked bloggers to come up with their own milkshake recipe. The best one will be highlighted on Johnny […]
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, […]
#March4Peace & Prayer Vigil THIS Saturday in Atlanta
I’ve been watching the news lately and thinking the mom marching in Ferguson, MO is no different from me. The boy who died in the street is no different from my son. The dad fighting to protect his family from injustice is no different from my husband. And I started thinking I wanted to do something to […]
A date night is always a good idea.
A date night is always a good idea. Always. After 8 (short) years of marriage I’ve learned that a date night is a good idea when… You’re mad at him. You’re more in love than ever. You are super busy. You are in an everyday boring rut. You have lots of little kids running around. You […]
Learning to be Everyday SuperHeroes #familyforward
Everywhere, all around us, every single day, are superheroes. They bring dinner home after a long day. They deal with screaming kids when I can’t take it for One.More.Minute. They fix the toilet and put together Ikea furniture and call me beautiful. These everyday superheroes make the world a better place one thoughtful gesture at a time. I know…I […]
