Mom’s aren’t supposed to get sick!  I wish it was true but even germs and icky critters take us down for the count.  Over the weekend, my husband finally convinced me to go see a doctor when I told him that I woke up around 4 AM on Saturday morning with a pounding headache.  It wasn’t your typical headache, this…

You can always find nice things at Brighton. My 10 year old gave this key chain to me for Christmas, he picked it out himself. The other side has the words teacher, chef, coach, nurse, counselor, gardener, driver, decorator,…

My husband just celebrated his 34th birthday. I used to get stumped as to what to get him for his birthday... but in recent years I've come across some great ideas, so I thought I would take the opportunity to share them with you....…

Yep, believe it or not, that's me ten years ago trying my damnedest not to give birth to my twins on my birthday.  Click over to my blog to see why:…

Are you turning 40 soon?

Does this freak you out?

Don’t be, read a book.

Here’s one for you.

Yup, that is right, there’s nothing to freak out about.  You are only 40. It is a mere digit.  Besides, LIFE STARTS AT FORTY.  Think of it as another phase in your life.  In any role playing games (R.P.G), we call it…

You see a delicious looking recipe online that you want to try so what do you do? You print it.

1. Stacked by the computer?

2. Serving as a coaster?

3. Folded into a book somewhere?

Two weeks ago, I wrote a post about Valentine's Day gifts for you.  It included goodies like fancy, new underwear, perfume and nail polish.  At the end of that post, I promised that there would be an upcoming post about gifts for him.  Well, here it is, just in time for all you last minute shoppers! Three awesome, unique, and…

Try a monogrammed a baby gift so that you give a gift that parents will enjoy and want to keep for a long time. When you are buying something for someone you care about, you want a buy a gift that means a lot to him or her. This is especially true for newborn parents. Newborn parents typically receive an abundance of gifts from friends and family. Sometimes a number of these gifts are not that useful and simply clutter a baby’s room. Some babies are overwhelmed by the amount of items…

Even as a work at home mom, I need a reliable babysitter when I have a networking event or meeting with a client outside of my son's preschool hours.

We also use a sitter for date nights (when it's in the budget).

Here's why I recently gave our sitter a raise: http://mommytalkshow.com/news-information/video-when-is-it-time-to-give-the-babysitter-a-raise/…

This morning, I finished reading …

When I asked my oldest son what he wanted for Christmas this year, his response surprised me. He wanted a label maker. What did you say? I asked, thinking surely I had heard him wrong. A label maker, he replied, again. Hmmm. Not satisfied with his wish, I pressed. A label maker? Really? Seemed like an odd request for a Christmas present to me. But his response settled the issue. The heart wants what it wants, Mom.

So who was I to argue with his heart or his sense of humor?…

This Christmas Mummy to Twins was lucky to receive a voucher to purchase a hamper from Interflora Australia. I thought hubby and I were not buying presents for each other this year as money is tight, when I saw some gifts under the tree…

So, the big day is finally here! Christmas day is looming large on us and every body is excited.Including me! I should mention I am having a tough time wrapping up all the gifts "from Santa to K&K this year" since Kevin is hovering around me all the time. I flatly refused Kevin to go to the basement at all because I have hidden most of the toys in there. You know what I am saying, it is really tough to keep up the Christmas spirit by not spoiling…

I used to throw an annual cookie exchange and would put together a little party favor for the guests. One year I gave each friend a bag containing the "Essence of Christmas". This is something my mom always had simmering on the stovetop at our house during the holiday season; it makes your whole house smell like…

A few weeks ago, I shared a cocoa kit my children and I are giving to the teachers this year. Originally, I included some snickerdoodle cookies along with the cocoa fixings. Well, we ate all of the snickerdoodles before I could finish assembling the boxes, so I made a new batch of cookies this weekend. We used one of my mom's recipes for …
