Dinnertime Barilla Style
I was sent a Barilla gift bag complete with an insulated tote, measuring spoon, pasta holder, wooden spoon, assorted pasta, coupons and recipes from Mario Batali. This wasn’t my first encounter with Barilla. I met the Barilla reps at Mom 2.0 in Houston. Barilla chefs — not Mario Batali —... »
Is 16 Years a Long Time?
We’ve been in our house almost 16 years. Still have not painted the master bedroom, one bathroom, living room, and dining room. Builder’s white…I loathe you. The rest of the house has been painted. In fact all three children’s bedrooms have been painted 2 or 3 times! My teen’s bedroom has gone from Winnie... »
Uncle Ben’s To the Rescue #UncleBens
I’m not a gourmet cook. I’m not a made-from-scratch cook. I simply cook meals for my family each and every night. I don’t love to cook. I do love cooking shows, but I never follow through on any of the recipes because I don’t like to cook. In my early married days my husband was... »
My Rant To Verizon!
I spent Friday night in a panic. The phone bill was buried on the kitchen table. The deadline for the bill was Friday. I knew I needed to pay the bill. It was too late to pay by phone, so paying online was my best option. Except that the Verizon website is set up... »
Adding a Little Flavor to My Day…or Evening.
I should not complain. I really shouldn’t. I survived infancy, babyhood, toddler mayhem, the threes(!), and preschool days as a SAHM of three children. My three children are now in full-day school. No more crazy 2.5 hours of preschool to get a haircut, drop off a prescription, buy a few groceries, and make it... »
Review and Giveaway…AKA as Hiding the Snacks from Kids!
I review products on this blog…all the time. I have packages coming in daily. Kids who are reluctant to drag up a trash can will haul in a box twice their size. All three clamor to open packages. I regularly distribute the review items and have the kids and my husband test/wear/listen to/eat the... »
Defending Costco!
A fellow DC mom wrote that she was about to quit Costco. My response? Whaaaaatttt??? Heresy! We love Costco! I have been a member of a warehouse club since 1989…BEFORE we got married! Do you remember when Costco was Price Costco and before that Price Club? Yep…we were members then. Actually, we were members of... »
Peapod by Giant: A Review and Code for My Readers!
Two weeks ago I took a tour through the local Peapod by Giant warehouse with a group of local mom bloggers. I have long wanted to ditch the weekly grocery shop. Grocery shopping is time consuming. As I shop the aisles, I am unable to resist certain items…read: pre-packaged food items. I see the... »
Trot over to Maryland
What question perplexes me most on forms and questionnaires? The question I find most difficult to answer is what major city do I live closest to? As a child through my pre-children years, I would have had several answers: 0-4 years — Manchester, England 5-8 — New York City 9-10 — Manchester, England 11 — New York City 12-15... »
Wondering about InBoxDollars?
My rule of thumb. NEVER pay anyone any money for anything on the internet. Period. All of the “Buy this book and you will earn $1000 per month” offers are ridiculous. You shouldn’t spend money to earn money! I do InBoxDollars and SendEarnings. I earn pennies or more (often $1-$2 per survey).... »
