A few months ago, Frank and I headed to CES in Las Vegas. There were so many awesome things to look at and play with at the conference. As a blogger and mother, I’ve had way more experiences with technology than I ever had before…and I love...

Spring is almost here people! That means it’s time to for spring cleaning – and spring maintenance too! How many times do we honestly think about our garage doors when it comes to spring cleaning? I can honestly say that I didn’t! Wel...

I had heard about CES (Consumer Electronics Show), but never attended before….until this year. My husband (who works in the field of technology) had attended before and had a little better idea of what to expect. While there was a lot to get out ...

When I was a kid, I dreamed about becoming a doctor someday (specifically a Pediatrician). When I attended college, I changed my major several times as there were different careers and areas of study I was introduced to and became interested in. I want...

Can you believe it’s almost Daylight Saving Time Again? Time to get prepared and set our clocks forward around the house. While we’re setting our clocks forward in preparation for Daylight Saving Time, it’s also a great time...

  When I was young, I felt very self-conscious about my smile. My teeth were very crooked and it required my wearing braces to straighten them. I did everything the orthodontist told me to do to take care of my teeth and braces because I wanted to have...

Growing up, I wanted to be a Pediatrician. When I attended college, I changed my major several times as there were different jobs I became interested in. I wanted to be an Elementary School Teacher, a Doctor (again), an Accountant, a Marriage and Famil...

I love weddings and most recently, experienced my own wedding. My husband and I were married on a cruise last February and I still remember that day as if it were yesterday. I remember wanting to feel and look as beautiful as I possibly could for my we...

I love kitchen appliances! Recently, I had the opportunity to check out the Black + Decker 6.5-Quart Multicooker. I love it! What do I love it? First, it has a removable pan – making it easy to remove your meal from cooker. Second, it fits a lot ...

When I’m prepared, I feel safe and confident that we can protect our family! Whether it’s when the power goes out or trying to find our way in the dark when camping, I like to be able to have light and see where I’m going. We recently...

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Poise. All opinions are 100% mine. Being a woman is hard sometimes! We deal with hormones, emotions, monthly visits (ya know – Aunt Flow) and sometimes bladder leakage. None of these are re...

One of my friends from high school recently had her first baby. I follow her posts and noticed that she had mentioned cord blood banking. I wish I had done that with my babies, but didn’t have as much knowledge about it then as we do now. Thanks ...

I love driving and was thrilled to have the opportunity to test drive the 2015 MAZDA 3 and it was awesome!!! I’ve never owned a brand new car, but love test-driving them and featuring them on The Mommy-Files and on my social media channels. ...

I am a girlie girl and love my makeup! I love to get my nails done, relax with pedicures and pamper myself with hair colorings at a salon on a regular basis. With a big family, I try not to spend too much money on my “girlie” things by...

This post is sponsored by Chevrolet Traverse. School’s out for summer!!! I remember how excited I used to get when I was a kid about being out of school for summer. It meant sleeping in, no homework, staying up late, traveling, going to the pool ...

I love to be pampered, but it can get pretty expensive to go to a spa and have someone apply masks and body scrubs. I love how budget-friendly and convenient it is to get pampered in the comfort of my own home! I recently received a sample of the Moroc...

It’s hard to believe that almost 3 months ago, Frank and I got married on the Carnival Miracle Cruise Ship in the Port of Long Beach! I remember searching high and low for information about cruise weddings on blogs and wedding sites and really di...

Our kids love to read so I am always on the lookout for new books! Especially with summer coming up, I’m looking even more for reading books for different ages and reading levels (since our children’s ages range from 7 to 13). I recently di...
