The Boychild is an Official Member of the 2012 White Sox Kids Club

Posted on May 16, 2012 by admin

I’ve been a White Sox fan since I was a little girl! Being from the Southside you can’t help but to be a Sox fan and if anyone says anything different they are a traitor! When my friend Sister Save-A-Lot told me about the Whites Sox Kids Club, I knew immediately it was time to introduce the boychild to one of my favorite past times. I signed him up several months ago and his package finally came in the mail this week! He was so happy all he keeps saying is, “Mommy can we go to the White Sox game?” To tell you the truth… I’m excited to go myself, White Sox games are always a ton of fun. Check … Continue reading →

Ok, I’m ashamed but it’s true I’ve become one of “those” moms… That’s right one of those sappy moms who wants to show the world what her boychild made her for Mother’s Day! When his teacher at the daycare asked if I could join the kids for snack time today I couldn’t say no. My lil boy was so happy when I walked in his class today; he couldn’t wait to give me my gift. I wasn’t expecting anything so it was quite a surprise when his teacher handed me this… It was supposed to be a flower but the seems didn’t bloom in time… The best part about it was the boychild made it all by himself! So, there … Continue reading →

New Snack Alert: Kraft MilkBite Milk & Granola Bars

Posted on March 16, 2012 by admin

If you are a busy mom like myself or just plain busy you might enjoy Kraft’s MilkBite Milk & Granola Bars. I won’t lie, I refuse to drink a glass of milk! Even though I know the importance of drinking a glass of milk something happened to me when I was a kid that won’t allow me to drink milk a whole 20+ year later, but I actually like these bars. They are the perfect mix of whole grain granola and milk. What I like most is the fact that these bars are a great healthy snack which is hard to find these days! I give one to my son before we head to daycare and I take one before … Continue reading →

Posted on February 21, 2012 by admin

Even though my son is almost grown.. Ok, he is 3 but anyway I’m still learning my way around this parenting thing. I know I won’t be perfect but I don’t want to mess it up either.

The truth of the manner is I’ve always loved Disney on Ice as well as the Circus, now I just have a pint size reason to go. Check out a few pictures from our night out … Continue reading →

Review: Intimina Laselle Kegel Exercisers x Giveaway

Posted on January 19, 2012 by admin

Alright ladies, I’ve always been a fan of doing kegel exercises. For those of you not familiar, kegel exercises are exercises you do to strengthen the muscles of your pelvic floor, they are often called the “love muscles”. These exercise help you to build your muscles down there, giving you better control during sex, childbirth, etc. I’ve been doing them for a long time now and I always wondered if I was doing them right or not!
