I picked this tool up while I was in Trinidad and although my mom uses her to make pound plantain, I recently found another use for it which doesn’t involve food-well to eat at least. Every now and then, I like to give myself a facial involving some sort of mask. I did some research [...]

I’m a bit surprised that not all families sit down for dinner together. I get that everyone’s busy but I couldn’t even imagine eating dinner without the fam. The thought of one kid downstairs and another being too busy to eat is one I can’t wrap my head around. According to the Journal of Nutrition [...]

I’m trying to figure out if this is my biggest giveaway to date. I wanted to have this up last week but I was soooo tired and there’s no time like the present, so here it is! With all of the back to school festivities, I haven’t had a chance to go for my facial [...]

Good Monday morning mommies! Hope you all had a fabulous weekend-I did.  I came across this story that gave tips on how to keep the kitchen safe while cooking with children and felt I needed to share. A few weeks ago, my nephew was at his grandmother’s house and a pot of corn somehow fell [...]

Not much commentary from me, I just thought I’d share the picture because I’m digging it.  In some aspect of our lives we all want to find the balance between coolness and motherhood. From the outside looking in, I think she’s got that. Kudos. [...]

Howdy mommies! I’m coming off of a busy weekend and heading right back into another one. Kayden turns 4 this week and his party is this coming Saturday. I’m not having this one at home so it’s not as hectic for me to plan. Also, soccer started for both boys and this means I have [...]

Good Morning lovelies! I’ve been setting my Sonos alarm to the Buju station on Pandora and every morning I wake up skanking and jumping around my room before I head for the shower. While you get prepped for the weekend, here are a few contests happening around the web I thought I would share with [...]

Well only one person entered to win the tub so this was a pretty easy contest. Angela won the bathtub contest and she selected the fuchsia pink Hoppop tub. She’s been contacted. Thanks for entering! Lookout for the next giveaway which goes up tomorrow. Ciao mommies!
