The following is a sponsored post. Please scroll to the bottom for more information on this Disclosure. Like many of you, I wear many hats. I'm constantly trying to manage my time so I can give as much attention to those that need it the most: Mi Familia! During the week, I go to my 9-5p.m job in healthcare and come home to fix dinner (with some help from my almost 13 yr old daughter) for my family. Once dinner is done we are heading to piano lessons, voice lessons,baseball/softball or any Continue Reading
Dole Fruit Parfait Healthy Grab & Go Breakfast / Lunch Solution #DoleParfaitEscape
As a busy mother, time management is a huge issue for me. I struggle at times to find a balance between taking care of my family and taking care of myself. Monday through Friday I head over to work once both my children are at school. I'll admit that I normally grab a cup of coffee and am on my way with no breakfast and possibly no lunch prepared for myself. What then happens is I run to the gas station or hit the vending machine. Woah...Big No-No!! Aside from the added expense of buying Continue Reading

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

What Makes You 2x’s Stronger? #AngelSoft
Let's face it, being a woman is hard. We make tough important choices every day of every year. The choice to go back to work was a very challenging decision my family & I made. I remember going back to work full-time after being a SAHM for several years. I was excited about the new adventure ahead for me, but very sad at the same time. I would miss my kids. I needed them, just like they needed me. I wanted to be home, but the economy was making a sudden downturn and I was afraid & worried about Continue Reading
Spring Break Travel: Titanic Museum Attraction
You know I love the Smoky Mountains! I think I have blogged about the East Tennessee area at least a dozen times. In 2012 I was fortunate enough to travel to Pigeon Forge two separate times and visit one of Pigeon Forge's newer attractions: Titanic Museum Attraction. One thing I love about the area is that there are so many reasons to return to the Smoky Mountain region for years to come. I personally I visited the area 10 times & I have yet to grow tired of the area. Titanic Museum & Attraction Continue Reading
Cirque du Soleil Quidam- New Orleans March 13-17th #quidam
I'm a HUGE Cirque du Soleil fan! My family has teased me in the past that if I could run away with the "circus", I would! But Cirque du Soleil is an phenomenal experience to enjoy.

Instead of taking you to an imaginary realm, Quidam is more of a self examination of Continue Reading
The Perfect Combo: Merci Chocolates & An Award Winning Giveaway #MerciAwards
Secret: I am NOT into television programming. I watch NO daytime television & very little prime-time television. I'm a Movie person! I love movies whether they are current or some of our best classics like Casablanca, Gone with the Wind and of course my all time favorite love story: An Affair to Remember. So it is no surprise that I am anxiously waiting for the Academy Awards to take place this weekend. But to me, it's not just about the movies, it's all about the winner's acceptance speech. I Continue Reading
