My greatest NEW adventure: Stay at Home Mami

Rock and X

By Divina I am so excited to be typing up this post!  You read correctly, as of September 12th, I will be a Stay at Home Mami to my two beautiful sons Rock and X. Every mom has to make that fateful decision. Can I afford to stay home? Do I even want to stay home? Do I want to work from home? I have been an “out of home” full time working Mami for the past three years and it has been exhausting.  I was always running between work deadlines, daycare pickups/drop offs, laundry, dinners blogging and everything else just went to the way side. I loved having the extra income when it was just Rock but when X came along there was not that much extra left over after the cost of daycare for a toddler and a baby. But the cost of daycare for two AND preschool tuition!   My entire pay check plus some of Eddy’s would be going to have some strangers raise our children.  If you have met me, you … [Read more...]

I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter! Grilling Giveaway

summer-grilling-giveaway

By Eddy UPDATE!  GIVEAWAY CLOSED.  Winner selected by www.random.org was Wanda.  Congrats on the win.  You are going to love the recipes and grilling gear. It s the beginning of September and it seems to me most people are thinking that with the end of summer it is also the end of the grilling season.   As far as I am concerned, the grilling season is finally getting into full gear.  Once the oppressive heat of the summer is over, the outdoors once again becomes a inviting place to hang out with friends and family.  Even here in New England, grilling can go quite deep into the end of the year (Now the grill serves as a source of warmth as well as a place to cook, it is multitasking at its best).  Not to mention, this is the best time for sports, with football (both college and Pro) getting in gear, baseball reaching the playoff stage and basketball soon to start. … [Read more...]

Logitech Mom Mixer NYC & Product Review

img_2131

By Divina Last week, I attended a Mom Mixer hosted by Mom Select and Logitech to showcase the new Logitech Pro 9000 webcam and Vid software.    During the meet up, several mommy blogger friends like Linda , Amy Jen , Marnie, Ellen , Jen , Heidi , Jennifer , Jennifer , Kyle , Maria and I got a chance to try out the new webcam. Here is a picture of Kyle and I. Here is a picture of Linda installing the Webcam. And a quick picture of Heidi on the laptop as we tested the software. As I have mentioned before, Eddy travels a lot for business so when I first got the invite, I was really excited to try out the HD webcam and see if it could help us stay connected through the miles.  I am happy to report we have started using it this week while Eddy is in Texas and I love love, love it. I am not a very techie person and to Eddy's chagrin I also do not like to read directions.  I think everything should be self explanatory and easy enough for me to figure … [Read more...]
