Must-Haves for Family Travel Road Trips

December 21, 2013 by Maria

Before and after Christmas I try to stock up on items that I can be useful to me throughout the year. Huge savings occurs at this time in order to make way for new 2014 products. Although I save my Amazon Gift Cards to purchase Christmas presents, I also try to stash a few E-Gift Cards for my after holiday shopping spree. Normally the holidays have emptied my pockets so shopping is slim but I have complied a list of Must-Haves for family travel road trips. These are affiliate links and Amazon is Continue Reading

Travel Made Easy: Travel Mobile Applications

October 8, 2013 by Maria

Planning any vacation can be overwhelming. Tourist plan months in advance for the ideal family vacation or romantic getaway, but occasionally you may hit a snag while traveling. Weather conditions, sudden detours and other factors can create a temporary delay in your scheduled itinerary. A travel mobile app as a fantastic resource for any prospective tourist. I think of a mobile travel app similar to an interactive travel guide. Although printed travel guides are a must, a mobile travel app is Continue Reading

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

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.

Justin Timberlake ‘The 20/20 Experience’ CD #JT2020 #Cbias

March 20, 2013 by Maria

Ever since I was little I wanted to be a singer. I had big dreams of singing on a large stage somewhere. I could see my name in bright lights! I just needed... my big break. But when I was 10 years old, I realized I had no talent whatsoever! I'm not kidding, I'm a horrible singer. But my lack of talent didn't keep me away from my love for music. Over the years I have been to dozens of live concerts and have bought numerous Cd's. Yes, I still buy Cd's. One of my all-time musical crushes is Continue Reading

What The Walking Dead Has Taught Me About The Zombie Apocalypse

March 17, 2013 by Maria

My husband & I rarely watch television. During the week there doesn't seem like enough time to watch a evening sitcom or drama. I spend my weeknights cooking, cleaning, spending time with my family, and prepping for the next workday. That's one of the reasons why I love weekend television. I can watch television while catching up while doing laundry or waiting for my recently cleaned floors to dry. Exciting right? Another reason I love weekend television is The Walking Dead which airs on Continue Reading

I #LuvSoFab!! Video Entry For Sponsorship to #SoFabCon #Cbias

March 12, 2013 by Maria

I started my blog over 4 years ago with the intent of creating an online journal. While writing and documenting my adventures in life, I realized a few things in the process. 1. People were reading. 2. I was enjoying the process. 3. I started to find the connection between myself as the blogger and my readers. That connection is something that many have difficulty understand & conveying to their readers. Sometimes a Brand will reach out and ask: What makes me different? How do I stand Continue Reading
