My Own Beckham

The Pig with a Froggy Tattoo

One of my favorite books this summer was The Girl with a Dragon Tattoo. My utmost favorite childhood character is Miss Piggy from the Muppets (actually my nickname by some lol). So when I saw that there was a spoof created combining both I had to share. This is so hilarious.

I Don't Know How She Does It Giveaway

As a full time working mother and wife, I sometimes feel like there isn't enough hours in the day to get the zillion & one tasks that I have to do before hitting the bed. Sometimes I just have to laugh at myself and wonder when will it all get done. Based on the critically acclaimed best seller by Allison Pearson, "I Don't Know How She Does It" hits theaters this Friday September 16th. I've seen the previews and this movie looks hysterical!

Here is a brief synopsis:

Kate Reddy (Parker) devotes her days to her job with a Boston-based financial management firm. At night she goes home to her adoring, recently downsize architect husband Richard (Kinnear) and their two young children. Its a non stop balancing act, the same one that Kate's acerbic best friend and fellow working mother Allison (Christina Hendricks) performs on a daily basis and that Kate's super brainy child-phobic young young junior associate Momo (Olivia Munn) fully intends to avoid. When Kate gets handed a major new account that will require frequent trips to New York, Richard also wins the new job he's been hoping for and both will be spreading themselves even thinner. Complicating matters is Kate's charming new business associate Jack Abelhammer (Brosnan), who begins to prove an unexpected source of temptation.

One lucky reader will win a copy of this best selling novel & a movie poster!

HALO Healthy Snack bars Review & Giveaway

We are big on healthy foods in our household. I'm fortunate that my son doesn't care for sweets or junk food. He rather eat yogurt, granola bars & fresh fruit. So when it comes to shopping for snacks, I always try to look for something that is low in calories but high in taste. I was excited when given the opportunity to try out HALO's snack bars.
These bars are small in size but are packed with taste. They come in these 4 desert themed flavors: S'mores, Nutty Marshmallow, Rocky Road and Honey Graham. My husband & son became HUGE fans of the Honey Graham and S'mores. They completely devoured my sample pack. I had to remind them to leave one for me to taste! My favorite was the Honey Graham as well. Eating them I didn't feel guilty at all since they are sinfully healthy. They were small enough to throw in my bag or in my son's lunch pack.

Here are some important facts about HALO:

-Good Source of Omega 3 & 6

-Certified Organic by QAI

-Vegan & Dairy Free

-Only 150 calories per bar

-Low in sugar

-All natural

I've got a sweet treat for you! Order Halo bars from http://shop.theprobar.com/ and get 40% off using the code BLOGGER. I am also giving away a box of 12 Halo bars for one lucky reader to try for themselves!

Remembering 9/11

I still remember that fateful day. I worked at 60th & Madison Avenue. On my way to work, I stopped by a deli to grab my breakfast. The men behind the counter were watching the tv & I asked what happened. They said a plane hit the World Trade center. I remember saying "Wow I hope everyone is okay" then left. As I hit Madison Avenue, people were stopping & looking toward downtown. You could see smoke drifting in the sky. I went to my office & told my co-workers what happened. We put on the radio & then heard about the second plane hitting the tower. We panicked, not knowing what was going on. Then when we heard that the building collapsed we knew it was not going to be a usual working day.
I remember walking home and just seeing the throngs of people walking aimlessly. How strangers were talking to each other, offering shared car rides, giving updated information. I couldn't reach my family because cell phones weren't working. My brother in law worked at the Trade center and my sister couldn't get a hold of him. Thank God he was running late that morning.
Now 10 years later, life has moved on but the memory will always remain. I didn't know anyone personally that was lost on that day but I still feel the pain and sorrow. As a New Yorker and as an American I will never forget.
