I love to travel, but have never been to Alaska before. I’ve heard amazing things about Alaska from those who have traveled there and have it on my bucket list of places to visit. I’m hoping that Frank will want to visit Alaska someday too! Do you seek adventure, love to travel or enjoy the […]...

I don’t know about your kids, but our kids love to play on their Samsung tablets, on the Playstation and on our iPhones. I think the usage of technology is a lot higher now than it was when I was a kid, and that being the case, there is a higher need for our children to […]...

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 […]...

When dealing with Eczema, protecting and nurturing your skin becomes even more critical. Eczema affects millions of people in the US, and finding the right products to manage symptoms can be challenging.

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 […]...

As a woman, I love it when my legs are soft and smooth (and Frank loves it too)! I’ve tried waxing (it hurt and was expensive), but mostly I shave. I don’t know about you, but I’ve found that it never fails that the day after, my legs are already prickly. Uh! I want smooth […]...

Summer is almost here and that means warmer weather, which also means wearing more tank tops, sundresses, and bathing suits. I love wearing the cute summer outfits, but I do start getting conscious of my underarms. I want soft, smooth underarms that aren’t stinky! I mean really, what woman does want those, right? With softer, […]...

I wasn’t really familiar with Stonyfield Organic Yogurt before participating in this campaign. So when I was invited to check out the new Stonyfield Organic Yogurt Pouches, I jumped on the opportunity. I don’t know about you, but I try to ensure our kids eat healthy snacks. Sometimes they’ll be hungry after breakfast or dinner [&hell...

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 […]...
