Music Subscription For Kids w/ #RhapsodyKids – Enter to WIN a $300 Giftcard {ad}

Disclosure: This is a sponsored post & giveaway. All thoughts and opinions are my own. Having children at the beginning of the digital revolution has allowed me to make mistakes with my first child that I valued when I had my second. A friend came to me recently with questions regarding her oldest who received a smartphone for her recent birthday. What apps should she get? What is safe for a girl her age? How can I give her privacy while safeguarding the music or videos she watches? Continue Reading

October 27, 2013 by Maria

And of course, I have to capture my day through pictures. Here is a small selection I included that I uploaded directly to Instagram. You can find more Type-A-Bootcamp New Orleans pictures by searching the hashtag: #TypeANOLA on Instagram. I hope you enjoy! Continue Reading

Road Tripping through Northwest Arkansas #SoFabCon

May 6, 2013 by Maria

I recently returned from a Social Shopper Media Conference called SoFabCon in Bentonville, Arkansas. Since I am about 10 hours away from Bentonville, Arkansas we decided driving from the New Orleans area would be cost efficient. Traveling to Arkansas we encountered heavy rain, wind and the probability of snow so we truly couldn't enjoy it's beauty. But when returning to New Orleans, we saw Arkansas through a whole new light. Isn't the location beautiful? I wish we would have had an Continue Reading

28 Days to Supercharge My Metabolism #FastMetabolismDiet

April 30, 2013 by Maria

The Following is a sponsored post. All opinions are my own & can not be influence in any way. Losing weight is something that I have been working on for several years. It seems like I do well for a few weeks then once I plateau, all my good word ends and nothing else is lost. What I have been needing is something to change my mind frame and metabolism. It's not that I eat a overeat or that I'm eating nothing but processed, unhealthy foods either. I need to exercise more and get my slow Continue Reading

Connect With Family Using the textPlus App #llblog

April 29, 2013 by Maria

This post is a sponsored post. All opinions are my own & can not be influenced. They say "Home is where the heart is" but sometimes being at home isn't always a possible. Being a blogger, I sometimes have to travel out of state without my family. Naturally I can connect with family on social media, but sometimes you want to hear your loved ones voice or have a private quick conversation as time permits. As connected as I may be to my mobile device, my entire family isn't as connected do Continue Reading

ANGRY BIRDS STAR WARS Toy Giveaway Ends 5/3

April 28, 2013 by Maria

The following is a Sponsored Post. Giveaway listed below is provided by Hasbro. All opions and thoughts are as always, my own. As a young child living in Los Angeles, my mother was extremely protective of us. Since she was a single mother for so many years, she was always working to provide for my older brother & I. This meant I spent a lot of time with my older brother and enjoyed playing with him every weekend when we were not in school. By playing, I mean playing with HIS toys. We played Continue Reading

Discover The All-New 2013 Nissan Sentra #descubresentra

April 23, 2013 by Maria

I remember when I was a senior in high school, the parking lots were full of teen cars. Some were brand new, some belonged to the parents of the students, and some were used vehicles bought specifically for a new driver. One vehicle we saw a lot growing up was a Nissan Sentra. Parents chose Nissan due to it's being economical, dependable, and long-lasting. Since I didn't drive when I was in high school, my 1st (almost) New Car was a Nissan. It was 3 years old and previously a government car Continue Reading

Because I’m Your Dad By Ahmet Zappa

April 18, 2013 by Maria

There is nothing more that tugs at a woman's heart than the love between a father & his children. Whether you have a daughter or son, their relationship is equally as important as our own relationship with our children. It's no surprise that a children's book can depict the very emotions we as woman want for our children. Recently released children's book 'Because I'm Your Dad' By Ahmet Zappa recreates that emotion. This whimsical book explains how innocent & silly the love between a father & Continue Reading

Look: It’s a Bird, It’s a Plane….It’s a Minion? #Despicablimp

Are you ready for the new Despicable Me 2 movie? Scheduled to hit theaters July 2nd, 2013, the much anticipated beloved Minions are back!

I'm not sure which of my children was more excited but they both couldn't wait to Continue Reading

Genesis Phone: Providing Additional Care For Your Loved One

April 1, 2013 by Maria

This is a Sponsored Post: All opinions are my own & can not be influenced. Many of you know how important senior care is to me. Aside from the fact that I work in a long-term care facility, I also have a mother suffering from Early On-Set Dementia. My mother celebrated her 56th birthday this week. She's too young for Dementia right? Wrong. She has her good days and her bad, but for the most part she can provide care for herself. We are fortunate that she lives with my father and youngest Continue Reading

NOLA Area: Join Macy’s & Clinton Kelly for Everything Spring Fashion #SpringStyles

March 26, 2013 by Maria

Sponsored Post: All opinions are my own & can not be influenced. I'm a HUGE TLC's What Not To Wear junkie. I love the fashion lessons given weekly but I really watch it for Clinton Kelly! Clinton Kelly is one of my favorite fashion guru. He's funny, smart and not afraid to tell you like it is. So when I heard he was coming to the New Orleans Area in April I totally geeked out!!
