Halloween is now over so that means we can officially start looking forward to Christmas. Yah! It is my absolute favorite time of the year. I love the decorations, music, events, church services, and most definitely the Christmas shopping. This year, I will be creating a holiday gift guide to help moms everywhere find unique, […]
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 […]

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 […]

And right now the help is coming from Produce for Kids (PFK) who is working with Publix Super Markets to support the “Healthy Schools, Healthy Minds” campaign to raise money to provide salad bars to […]
Rockin’ the Runway…Mama-style
I had the opportunity to step WAY out of my box and be a model in the Apple Bottoms “Evolution of Curves” fashion show last week. It was fun and scary all rolled into one. I mean I’m a MOM…not a model, right? No! I banished that idea and decided that for one stroll up and […]
