Earlier this month, I had the opportunity to attend the Wilton Mom ReTreat held at the Wilton Headquarters in Bolingbrook, IL. We stayed at the Aloft, a fabulous, upbeat hotel. Here are some photos of my cute, loft inspired room. Who can resist the hotel bathroom photos? During the ReTreat, we enjoyed complimentary breakfast at the hotel, lunches catered by Panera and Potbelly Sandwich Shop, and dinners at Francesca’s at The Promenade and Rosebud where tired me accidentally ordered a whole chicken. Luckily, this was a local event, so I saved the leftovers for Greg! I hate wasting food! At ... CONTINUE READING THIS POST →

BlogHer ’10: August 6th

I started the day heading to the Walmart Sustainability booth for a tour. Breakfast was sporadic; had to grab random pieces of rolls/fruit and then head out to the Getting Gorgeous Skechers Shape-ups walk which made the Wall Street Journal (ignore the bits about species, tight t-shirts, mommy swag, etc). I was among the first 25 people to RSVP, so I received a free pair of Shape-Ups – love ‘em. I was surprised to see that they come in different styles; even sandals. If you are not fond of the thick “Skechers-ish” look, there are some styles that look a ... CONTINUE READING THIS POST →

Thought about Photoshoppin’ the Gentlemen’s Club out, but hey it’s NYC. @itstoni, @mommyintincts and I headed to the airport bright and early in the morning. We grabbed McDonald’s breakfast and boarded our plane shortly after. In between, we met @princesshaley and @fairytalemom! Before landing in NYC, we did some wavy thing through the clouds that made me, who never gets motion sick, feel lightheaded. We touched land 30 minutes early. Thank you @southwestair :). We grabbed our bags from baggage claim. Mine took a little bit longer to retrieve. @itstoni, @mommyintincts, @fairytalemomm and I headed to the hotel in a ... CONTINUE READING THIS POST →

BlogHer ’09 I’m not wearing a cute baby; maybe some cute shoes. I may be tweeting if I so choose. I probably won’t be live blogging. If I see you sitting alone, to say hey, I’d like to. Truth is, I may let you doodle on your phone because I’m just as shy as you. I will be attending the conference with a new attitude on blogging. I will be enjoying myself, hanging out, not worrying about making a good impression. I will party hop and go on adventures all while being myself. I will wear myself out – it’s ...

Reminiscing: My Day With Dyson

July 9, 2010 · · 2 comments

Dyson Domestic Engineers

March 19th, 2010 was the day that I attended the Dyson Domestic Engineers event held at the Dyson headquarters in Chicago. This was no ordinary event. It was very casual, like hanging out with the girls. We took a tour of the headquarters, had lunch, and talked about our current vacuums and what we’d like to see in future vacuum models. She has a Kirby. I didn’t know those were still on the market. She names every single one of her appliances. Can you believe she has a fridge named Franny? After lunch, we broke off in to groups where ... CONTINUE READING THIS POST →

Marshalls Mania: Behind the Seams

May 23, 2010 · Fashion · 11 comments

Weeks ago, I mentioned that Greg and I took a trip to Marshalls to do some Mother’s Day shopping for myself. With $50 to spend (courtesy of Marshalls), I chose… a cutting board ($7.99), marble rolling pin ($9.99), salt and pepper shaker set ($5.99), and a fresh pod for onions ($2.99), all of which will come in handy in the new and improved kitchen I’m working on :). Oh and Greg chose a little something for me, buuut I’m not gonna air that here. It’s by Jessica Simpson, it’s purple, and ruffly. That’s all I’m sayin’ *looks down*. Moving on… ...
