It’s hard to believe that 6 years ago, I started The Mommy-Files. I was married at the time and had a family blog, but wanted a blog that was all my own. A blog where I could talk about motherhood (both the struggles and joys), connect with friends and family, and share my experiences through […]...

Over the past year, I have seen my blog grow and blossom. I’ve had the opportunity to travel, serve as an Ambassador, attend conferences and work with companies that I love and products that I use on a regular basis. Somehow though, I’ve lost a little bit of that woman who was behind The Mommy-Files. […]...

One of the things I love about blogging is that I can share my love for products I try! Well, I found an awesome product by GOSH from the Walgreens Look Boutique. It’s called GOSH Light ‘N Shine Lip Glaze. Not only do I love how pretty it makes my lips, but also the fact […]...

I love it when my legs are smooth! Unfortunately, the hair on my legs grows pretty quickly. Too bad my nails don’t grow that fast, but that’s another story for another day. I went in to get my eyebrows waxed one day and the Aesthetician said she wanted to try out a new sugaring product on […]...

I frequently check my Facebook, email, and Twitter accounts throughout the day and was surprised the other day by a tweet I received. It was congratulating me on being one of the “Top 10 U.S. Mom Bloggers on Twitter.” I couldn’t believe I made a list like that! I was even more excited to see […]...

I love shopping for the boys online, so when the opportunity came up to purchase an Easter outfit, I jumped at it! I had not heard of Hartstrings prior to this campaign, so I was excited to see what the company had to offer. I found many cute outfits in Brian’s size, so I made […]...

In 2008, I created The Mommy-Files. At the time, I was a stay-at-home mom and wanted an outlet where I could talk about motherhood, post pictures, share recipes, and make friends with other moms online. Although I had a Bachelor’s Degree, I chose to take the opportunity to be at home with my 3 boys […]...

Last week, I had the opportunity to chaperone Brian’s class on a field trip to Rancho El Chorro. It was really pretty. I didn’t even know it was there. I love it when the kids saw me and said, “Yay! It’s Brian’s mom!” LOL Makes a girl feel special! 🙂...
