This weekend, I took my boys to the park so they could enjoy some time outdoors with their friends. As I looked around, I noticed all the other moms there with their children. It's interesting how we are all women who come from different walks of life but we are all joined together by our experiences as mothers. Another thing that is wonderful is that there are all types of moms and they all express themselves in different ways. This is great for kids to see because it teaches them the importance of celebrating their individuality and having tolerance for others who are different from them. Timex is the the leading watch manufacturer in the US, with a watch for every wrist. They have been helping moms keep track of time and show off their style for many, many years. I've always been a big fan of their watches because they are perfect for dressing up, dressing down, and everything in between. The best … [Read more...]
Working Mom Confessions
I've always been a worker bee. From the moment that I was able to go out to work, I did so with gusto.

Kohl’s Is The Destination For Mother’s Day Gifts! #DearMom @Kohls #Ad
*This is a sponsored campaign on behalf of Kohl’s. As always, all opinions are 100% my own. Let's me be honest, I am not a materialistic girl but boy do I love to get gifts for Mother's Day! There is just something about being lavished with gifts and attention on this special day that tickles my fancy and I always make sure that I let my husband know exactly what items are on my wish list so he doesn't have to go crazy trying to figure out what to get me. Kohl's is definitely the destination for all of the Mother's Day gifts on my list of must-have items this year. Not only do they have a wonderful variety but their prices are just right for our family friendly budget. Although I want Hubby to treat me like a queen, I also want to make sure that he has enough money left over to start saving for my birthday present, but I digress... This year, since I have lost a lot of weight, I am excited about getting a new wardrobe and accessorizing those outfits … [Read more...]
