No one has ever accused me of being a clean freak. My house is not the worst, but it is certainly not the best. However, even with three kids under four years old running around, I do manage to show a presentable house when the neighbors drop by or when it’s my turn to host […]
“Why yes…I am pregnant with my 4th child!”
It’s true. The belly has popped out. The maternity clothes are back in the closet. The prenatal vitamins are restocked on the shelf. Yup…Maria’s pregnant again!

The “Pink Pig” opens Atlanta’s holiday season
I love a good tradition. And in Atlanta, Macy’s Pink Pig at Lenox Square Mall is the epitome of tradition. The pink train has been delighting families since 1953 with it’s train ride through the whimsical, life-size storybook about the holiday adventures of Priscilla the Pig. It is cute and just a “feel good” tradition […]
Yo Gabba Gabba! comes to Atlanta Sunday
Yo Gabba Gabba! is the one Nick Jr. show that I (and I think most parents0 would secretly watch even if their kids weren’t around. Hearing “Biz’s beats” (from rapper icon Biz Markie) is always a favorite part of an episode for me. I try to keep the beat and make my mouth move the way […]
Review: Simply Right diapers and wipes
Now I’m no diaper snob. A coupon, discount, or “special” will get me to try a different diaper brand pretty quickly. I’ve had at least one child in diapers for four and a half years (and counting) so I really can’t be choosy. (Well, I could be but it would get super expensive.) So, when […]
Stone Mountain Pumpkin Festival creates great atmosphere for family fun
I love these beautiful Atlanta days! Seventy-five and sunny and the only place I want robe is outside so I was thrilled I planned to come with the family to visit the Stone Mountain Pumpkin Festival. The weather made the attractions so much nicer to enjoy and the outdoorsy backdrop created a fun family afternoon. […]

Verizon’s “Journey of Hope” Tour Promotes Domestic Violence Awareness
I’m a big fan of companies putting their money where their mouths are. So when I heard about the rather quiet way the wireless phone giant, Verizon Wireless, was working to promote domestic violence awareness and prevention, I was intrigued. After checking it out a bit more, I learned that not only are they getting […]
