Why is it that I always..

Why is it that I always seem to start my most productive work just as Tim has to leave for work (the kids are with me) or I have to leave to go somewhere? That’s it. For now.. no time for anything else until the kids are in bed.

Tropicana Juicy Rewards Program – What did I get with my points this week?

Orange juice is a staple in our refrigerator. We go through a couple of gallons of orange juice a week and now because I am a Tropicana Juicy Insider, we get reward points just for enjoying something we already buy and love. How great is that? You too can be a Tropicana Juicy Insider, free!

Snow in Atlanta.. about 2 inches of it.. we’re in shock!

My organizer.. my BusyBodyBook Family Organizer and Calendar

I never thought I would be one of those moms who was always on the go but now I am. My kids are 3 and 10 and they actually do things. How strange. They go to swim class, computer class, Cub Scouts, play with friends, and do other things that kids do. All of that

I need your help with my 3 year old..please

I’m exhausted as a result of getting an average of 4.5 hours of sleep a night for over 3 years now. You must know though that despite what professionals say I feel like sleep is a waste of time and it’s not something that I look forward to like some people (like my husband). I

My top 5 New Year’s Resolutions Plans

I don’t do resolutions because history (my history at least) proves that 90% of them aren’t followed through with in the next 364 days… by me. However, I have plans and below are 5 that I feel very confident that I will follow through with.. (hopefully my husband will follow through with #3 and #5)

Our amazing trip to Disney World + a few tips and hints for your next visit – Part 1

As I mentioned in my last post, my 10 year old, 3 year old, sister, Dad, and step-mom went to Disney World last week. I had not been to Disney World during the holiday season and wasn’t sure what to expect, but going during the holidays was the point. We wanted to see the decorations

I took a whole week off! Back to life now

I realized a few minutes ago that it’s Saturday which means that I took a whole week off of work, a first in many years. Even while on vacation I usually have my laptop with me, answer emails, write posts on The Mommy Insider and my other site Atlanta Moms, and I have even been

I feel bad that I am in the process (I’m laying in her bed as I type this on my iphone) of bribing my 3 year old to take a nap by saying that Santa brings gifts to sweet girls not naughty girls. I didn’t do that with my now 10 year old when he
