Five Little Words

Fun Day Of Shopping w/ @ElisabethRohm and @themoms

There’s nothing like walking in @HenriBendel and wanting everything in there. The colors of the scarves, jewelry, handbags, makeup. Everything is just beautiful. I got the privilege to not only shop but meet Elisabeth Rohm in person for a book signing of her new book Baby Steps “Having the Child I Always Wanted”. She talked about going through menopause at an early age and the struggle with infertility. She is very sweet and can’t wait to read her book. I feel like we are girlfriends. We were giving each other high fives, hugs, and smooches. She also said she wanted to borrow my earrings that I was purchasing from Henri Bendel with my 20% off coupon.I told her “Of course you can”. She said “that’s what girlfriends do, they go in each others closets and borrow things”. I’m cool with that. I would love to borrow from her closet. 🙂

Her book is very inspiring to women who are having difficulty having children, and infertility issues. I enjoyed this day thanks to @themoms.

I also donated diapers and wipes to @loverecycled founded by Jessica Seinfeld to provide critical items to America’s vulnerable families. I loved doing that.

#HAPPYMOTHERSDAY

12 May

Happy Mother’s Day to the mommies!!! Today I know some of you want the day to relax minus the kids but I on the other don’t mind having the kids around. Maybe it’s because they are 5 and older but trust me I get a lot of alone time when they are in school. I hope you mommies get what you want today whether it’s a day at the spa, the whole house to yourself singing and dancing like Tom Cruise, or just waking up to a big breakfast and homemade cards from your kids. Whatever you get enjoy it and cherish these moments. Don’t worry father’s your day is coming up!! Have a great day!!!

@THEMAMASEXPO @nysci

6 May

The kids and I got up early on Sunday morning for a fun filled family day in Queens at the New York Hall Of Science for the Mama’s Expo. I was just there that Thursday with my son for his class trip but my daughter never been so she was in for a treat. I thought the trains wouldn’t be cooperating on the weekends but it was pretty good, crowded but we got seats going and coming back, and the walk from the train to the hall wasn’t as far as I expected.

We were greeted by @HonestTea booth who were giving out samples and pouches to the kids. Very refreshing!! Love Honest Tea!! There were so many vendors and they all were great.

I was on the press list so checking in was fast and we also received free golf tickets and admission into the VIP lounge where my daughter did Arts & Craft, made a t-shirt, and we saw a few new products for the babies.

My son got to show my daughter the things he did on his trip and remembered where everything was more than I did.(Short term memory loss for me) Lol.

They had a blast and also enjoyed the free samples of cupcakes, candy, and even a chocolate fountain that you could use pretzel sticks with. Yum!! I think the golf park was their favorite and the best free item was the goldfish that were being given out. We got 3. They also enjoyed the ginormous bubbles, rock climbing, and racing each other in wheelchairs. We immediately bought a fish bowl, food, and cleaner. We are still thinking of names for them. I made some purchases as well and met a lot of nice people.

We ate lunch there which was very good. Chicken tenders, pizza, @Applegate hotdogs, lemonade.

There were also singing and dancing in different parts of the hall. We enjoyed making our own lima bean plants.

Enjoy the pictures!!

MY DAUGHTER’S FIRST LIBRARY CARD

24 Apr

My daughter was very excited for her trip to the library with her class so she could sign for her first library card and receive some cool books. I was so proud of her signing her name on her card and picking out 4 books that she immediately wanted to read as soon as she got home. The librarian read 3 books to the class and one of them were a Maisy book that all the kids wanted to have. The librarian said the books were arranged by the last name of the author so I remember her saying the Maisy books were under (C) for Cousins and my daughter and I found the Maisy books. She picked out 3 and 1 Chicka Chicka Boom Boom book as well. My daughter has 3 weeks to enjoy her books and already wants to go back for more even though with all the books she has at home she could open a bookstore. She loves reading and spelling and I will always encourage and support her.
