It's no secret, we love our Xbox: it was our #1 Holiday Pick for 2010 (still is!) control free playing and full body play got my kids (and me) off the couch and took our Family Game Nights to a...

Growing up, my friend Barbara and I had a lot in common. She spoke Polish, I spoke Hungarian (close enough!) along with my twin brother, we graduated high school together and, sadly, have lost touch since then. Until, Facebook. "Did...

My husband, Garth [not his real name] and I love attending open houses - especially, if it's a home that we've admired from the sidewalk, or wondered...you know...what the heck is going on over there? Same thing with blogs, right?...

My kids LOVED going to "the mall" when they were little: truth be told, for me it was an easy excuse to get out of the house, grab a quick cup of coffee and clock in a few good laps...

I am very excited and honored to be a featured contributing blogger for Kmart's Playdate Place website! It's really a great place for parents (like me) to hang out, spark conversation, share ideas about planning fun playdates, find recommendations fo...

Earlier this week, I shared some great ways families (like mine) can save on the very extravagent looking, yet budget-friendly rack of pork at Costco. Throughout the month of October, bloggers (like me) have been challenged by TheMotherHood, Costco A...

CONFESSION: I have a thing for bathrooms and, as a mom, raising 4 children, I feel it safe to describe it as a parent's personal place of refuge. Especially, when checking into a hotel room, one of the first things...

Unlike the Middle School, my 17 and 15 year-old girls were allowed to wear their costumes to school, last year. Only 13 more sleeps until Halloween! My youngest (she's 10) has her costume put together (mostly!) while, my middle two...

In celebration of Oscar Mayer's Bacon Creation Week (hey, it's bacon, why not?) I was challenged to re-create our favorite family recipe, using bacon and, personally, it didn't take me long to decide on EXACTLY which one to share with...

Last week, I had the pleasure of sharing how the Kmart.com and the Kmart Halloween Party Crew came up with an awesome campaign they're calling Attack of the 50 Ft. Party to help families (like ours) put the fun back...

You HAVE been warned! Over the years, my husband and I have learned to expect less than favorable opinions from folks (most especially, other parents) upon learning that we have 4 children. Then, they find out I have 3 daughters,...

My middle girl, freaking OTHER parents out, during her Goth stage (c. 2007) I know what you're thinking [cringe]: but, I've got 2 teenage girls, a precocious 10-year-old and a 12-year-old man-boy. [shiver] So, I feel it safe to say...

To be honest, with ALL the wet weather and Hurricane Irene wreaking havoc on our ceiling AND roof (UGH!) I'm sort of glad summer is over. We're hoping to be able to get started on repairs, you know, before the...
