I had an amazing time in San Diego at BlogHer ’11 (thanks to my sponsor, EmpowHER)! After thinking about all the things I wanted to post, I decided to just keep it simple and let you know some key ideas that I learned that go beyond the nuts and bolts of blogging.1. Do the tequila shot! At least […]
Upscale Magazine Prize Pack Giveaway
I don’t get a chance to read magazines too much anymore but was recently sent a couple copies of Upscale Magazine and felt like it definitely improved my “mamalicious” quotient! It was sexy and informative and really well-written. I’m a stickler for good journalism and they definitely do a good job at providing interesting and […]
The easiest slow cooker chicken recipe EVER
I have a new go-to meal and it is the easiest, but tastiest slow cooker recipe ever! Since I just received 40 pounds of chicken from Zaycon Foods, I pulled out this recipe and love it even more with fresh chicken breasts. And it only takes two ingrediants: chicken and BBQ sauce.

Two parents, three kids, and 40 pounds of chicken
I like chicken. I like it fried, seared, bar-b-qued, roasted, and baked. I like it in salads and casseroles, and in dips and bakes. I don’t eat red meat so you get the picture…my family of five eats a lot of chicken. So when Stacie Haight Connerty of The Divine Miss Mommy told me about […]
Win a trip to Disney World with the “Discover What You Treasure” sweepstakes

I ran (not walked) a 5k!
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 […]
