Ever since my sons were little, I have always made it a priority to make every single holiday as special as possible for both of them. This month, we have Valentine's Day coming up and this special day has been no exception. One of the ways that I have showed them how special they are in my life and how much I love them is by surprising them with special treats on this day that has been traditionally used to demonstrate your love and appreciation for the ones you love. This year, I surprised both of them with a Valentine's Heart-Shaped Cookie Tin from Bake Me A Wish! Even though they are both teenagers now, I know that they have come to appreciate the special gestures that I do for them during the holidays. They each have a tremendous sweet tooth so what better way to put smiles on their faces than by presenting them with one dozen delectable heart-shaped cookies?! Each moist and delicious sugar cookie is enrobed and decorated by hand. These cookies come in a keepsake tin and … [Read more...]
A Laser Tag Arena Right At Home With Laser X Revolution! #ad
As the holidays are approaching, I find myself scrambling to get all the gifts on my sons' and nephews' holiday list. Since they range from all ages, it can be tricky making sure that I find gifts that meet their unique likes and interests. My nephew loves laser tag ever since I had a laser tag party for my older son for one of his birthdays. I knew that Laser X Revolution would be the perfect gift for him this Christmas.

With Entenmann's, everyone's got a favorite and in our home my oldest loves their Minis while my younger one prefers Little Bites.

Celebrate The Dads In Your Life This Father’s Day! @gmtgiftbaskets #fathersday #ad
I've always felt that fathers don't get as much credit as they deserve on Father's Day. For some reason, Mother's Day is always such a huge holiday and when the dads' special day rolls around, it's not always sprinkled with the same fanfare that moms get. In our home, we make sure that we always show our love and appreciation for my husband because he is just the most wonderful father to our two sons and deserves to be pampered and recognized. The problem is that, when it comes to gifts, my husband is really difficult to buy presents for because he is not very materialistic and doesn't really spend a lot of money on himself. I knew that this year it was going to be important to make him feel really special because we have spent a few tough months here in New York City due to the pandemic. Since my husband is an essential worker, he has worked every single day while everyone else has been sheltering in place. As soon as I saw the Family Game Night Gift Crate from Gourmet Gift … [Read more...]
Manage Arthritis Pain While Staying Active! #Salonpas @Salonpas #Giveaway #Ad
May is National Arthritis Awareness Month, and in the United States, 23% of all adults—over 54 million people—have arthritis. As a Leukemia Survivor, I have developed arthritis due to some of the medications that I take even though I'm only 43 and I always thought that elderly people were the only ones who suffered from this pain. Unfortunately, as a busy Working Mom, I don't have time to be in pain but I don't like taking any additional prescription medications, if I can avoid it. Thankfully, I have discovered that Salonpas® is available to arthritis sufferers whose activities have been limited, and who suffer from severe joint pain. As someone who was raised in Spain, where people are less reliant on taking pain for pills than other countries, I was excited at the prospect of being able to use a topical analgesic to treat muscle, back and joint pain. The truth is that, worldwide, topical analgesics, physical therapy, and other approaches are often considered before … [Read more...]

There is nothing more intriguing than a villainess, especially when she is Maleficent. I had the pleasure of viewing Maleficent 2 this month with my family and I loved it! The special effects in the movie were spectacular and I really enjoyed all of the mythical characters from the Moor. Of course, Angelina Jolie's portrayal of Maleficent was absolutely brilliant! From her costumes to her dark humor she was the perfect one for this role.
