Wordful Wednesday

Birthdays have changed for me as I've gotten older. A few years back I would have gone out with a group of friends, stayed out all night and come back home with barely enough time to change and get to work. Do you remember those days? It seems like only yesterday to me! My latest birthday was different. I woke up, examined [...]

Ever since they changed the laws in New York, making restaurants display the calories on their menus, I can't eat dessert without feeling guilty! I use to be able to eat a salad, then order a delicious piece of cheesecake or a scrumptious brownie without feeling any dieter's guilt. I mean seriously I had a salad right? Everyone knows [...]

Last night I went to the RedPlum event in NYC, where we learned about RedPlum's coupons, saw 30 frugal finds under $30 and admired some wonderful table settings from Ikea. I'll post more about their Latinalicious deals and finds later on this weekend but till then I would like to share with you pictures of Ikea's [...]

One day while strolling home and listening to my iPod, I noticed a large crowd of people coming my way. Ever the inquisitive one (nice way of putting it huh?), I decided to see what was going on. It was Bumblebee, the Transformer! The two ladies in the picture were preparing to run. Can you [...]

Prince is my youngest and will forever be known as my "baby". He doesn't complain. In fact, I know he secretly likes the cuddling and special treatment he receives as the youngest, but like most boys doesn't want anyone to know! There is a seven year age difference between Prince and Big K . It wasn't by [...]

My boys were looking out the window this weekend, exclaiming how beautiful the sky looked. They called me over to see. I had to agree. The colors as the sun was setting were amazing! Below are a few of the pictures I was able to take after our moment.  They were taken back to back but if [...]

Big K, my 15 year old teen, was recently selected to speak at Columbia. I couldn't have been prouder and YES I cried with joy as I watched my young man at the podium! He looks a little nervous doesn't he? But his voice didn't quiver! I made him smile for this picture ;) While the panelists [...]

Since I know there are lots of football fans out there, like my little man Prince, this one's for you! There are a few locations within New York where you can enjoy a throw or two for FREE. Just make sure you have your throwing arm in gear because all who pass can see just [...]

Can you tell we love desserts?! When the boys and I go out, we normally order 2 or more desserts and share but I have to admit I tried to take a couple of extra bites of these. ;)   This piece of art is a banana split. It was HUGE!     As you can tell, it was [...]
