It’s hard to believe it’s been 6 years since I started blogging at The Mommy-Files. One of the reasons I started blogging was to connect with other moms online who might be going through similar things in motherhood as I was. It was also a place for me to share my thoughts, feelings, experiences and photos of […]...

I participated in a campaign on behalf of Mom Central Consulting (#MC) for Shire. I received a promotional item as a thank you for participating. Raising a child at any age is challenging, and when it comes to mothers and daughters, the dynamic can be even more complex. What some may dismiss as “typical tween girl behavior” […]...

Frank and I travel down to Los Angeles a lot! We’ve found that sometimes it’s just easier (and more cost-effective) to take a taxi to get where we’re going. Whether we’re heading to a baseball game, a concert or a press event, it can get expensive (and frustrating) driving around and searching for parking in […]...

Frank and I love to host get-togethers for our friends and family and recently had the opportunity to throw our very own “Outdoor Oasis” Party. Our party was a huge hit thanks to Pier 1 Imports and Mom Central. After shopping at Pier 1 Imports, I was amazed at how many different items and affordable […]...

I remember being a kid and how excited I was to get a new computer at our school. I remember playing the “Turtle Game” using the keyboard. I mean, when I was a kid (before computers), we had typewriters and had to look up information in encyclopedias and use the Dewey Decimal system. We didn’t […]...

Food allergies are never any fun, but can you imagine being lactose intolerant or having dairy sensitivities? That means no ice cream, no milk shakes, and no milk with your cookies. I went through a dairy sensitivity myself caused by a prescription I was taking. I couldn’t drink milkshakes, eat ice cream or dip my […]...

I walk a lot! I’m not even talking about exercise kind of walking. I’m talking about cooking breakfast, doing dishes and laundry, making meals for the family, running kids to school and running around town type of walking. Lots of walking! Not to mention walking as part of my travels. When I walk, I want […]...

I wasn’t really familiar with Stonyfield Organic Yogurt before participating in this campaign.

When my boys were little, I was really into scrapbooking. I mean old school scrapbooking! You know where you trim and cut the pictures with different scissors, add borders and stickers, adhere the pictures to the pages, add a sheet protector and then bind in album? Yeah – old school scrapbooking. In fact, my stepmom […]...

Cleaning is definitely not one of my favorite things to do. I don’t mind washing dishes, but I greatly dislike cleaning sinks, counters and floors that might involve toxic chemicals. I especially don’t like when I use cleaners and then find it difficult to breathe because the fumes are so strong. Learning about the Toxic […]...

Growing up with red hair, I was hesitant to wear pink. For some unknown reason, it was my belief that with red hair, you just didn’t wear pink! Greens, browns, blues and blacks were good, but not pink. It was a huge surprise to me when I wore pink for the first time to my […]...

Although our children are still young, we know that one day their big dreams will be replaced by school grades and college prep work.
