Have Some Water Fun with D6 Surfskimmers and HangTen
Have you heard of D6 Surfskimmers? I mentioned them last month because they were one of our awesome sponsors for the JerseyLove trip. There was also a great twitter party that generated tons of impressions. But, I haven’t really gone into a lot of detail on the boards, so I’m dedicating this post to the D6 Surf Skimmers today. During our JerseyLove trip, we spent a day in Belmar. The weather was terrible, but we hung out at DJais and some of our ladies bared the tropical storm and hit the waves with D6 and the Hangten surfboards: Some of the kids in our group took to the beach bravely…

I Choose to Thrive Mantra
I choose to THRIVE! This is my mantra because freeing my life from negativity will allow me to live life positively. This means removing negativity altogether from thoughts to people to surroundings. In doing so, I enable my mind, heart and soul to live life to it’s fullest potential and also help those around me do the same. This is my Thrive Mantra and I share this mantra with the world along with other Inspiring Moms who are participating in the Live Your Full Potential campaign through Inspiring Social Media network.

Enjoy the Jersey Shore thru #JerseyLove
It’s been two weeks now since I’ve been back from the Jersey Shore and I’m in total withdrawal. Why? Because I miss my #JerseyLove peeps! For four days, my online community of fellow bloggers came together for social good to help New Jersey tourism. I actually can’t believe it was two weeks ago that I joined over 40 wonderful women down the Shore for our “Jersey Love Social Media for Social Good” Social Media Moms retreat. How did JerseyLove come about? We all know about Hurricane Sandy and how it devasted our state. Scores of homes lost and people displaced. Small businesses closing. The results? People crossing off the Jersey Shore from…

Food at NJPAC NICO Kitchen #Newark
Had a blast this past week hanging out with some of my fellow North Jersey NJDMoms and some of our kiddos. We decided to get together for a lunch and one of our members arranged for the NJPAC to generously host our luncheon at the NICO restaurant located in their facility. I cannot say enough about the staff. Everyone was very friendly and I know this service would have been the same even if they weren’t hosting us, plus we weren’t not expected to post about the NJPAC or the services. You might be saying, “of course they were nice to you, you were bloggers.” While this is possible, I feel…

Vlog: My Biggest Fear
At the beginning of this year, I made the decision to start vlogging. I shared my goal of vlogging with my fellow NJ Digital Moms and to my delight, our Founder, Elizabeth Norton, and several of my NJDMoms (Amiyrah Martin, Desiree Allen, Sarah Walton to name a few) jumped on my wagon to encourage me to accomplish this goal. Elizabeth challenged us to do our vlog about our biggest fear, so here’s my vlog – be kind – it’s my first! Enjoy.

National Preeclampsia Awareness Month
Did you know that May is National Preeclampsia Awareness Month? Preeclampsia is not a typical thought that comes to mind when it comes to pregnancy and motherhood, but for those who are affected by it, the May is the one time we can focus and share with people what preeclampsia is about and how it affects some women. We mothers are so used to being the nurturers and caregivers that very often we make light of what we are feeling in order to continue on with the routine. So when I woke up 6 days after my c-section unable to catch my breath, with blurry vision and a dull headache…

Review: The Happiest Baby Guide to Great Sleep
A few weeks ago, I was selected to a read and review “The Happiest Baby Guide to Great Sleep” by Harvey Karp, M.D. via the One2One Network. While my youngest began sleeping eight hour nights at two months, I signed up for the opportunity because we’re in the process of transitioning her into the crib so I thought it would be good to read up on some sleep training techniques from the beginning of the process. I was pretty excited to receive my copy from Harper Collins. And for the legalese – I didn’t received compensation for this. But I just realized I will be entered into a drawing for a free…

Jersey Love with New Jersey Digital Moms and Social Media Moms
I neglected my blog in March, but I have a really good reason for that. Amazing things happened in March for my family and me. From signing on a new client and getting involved with Lady and The Blog to starting the kids in daycare, it was a very hectic month of fantastic changes. Now, that life is back in track with a new schedule, I’m back on this blog sharing. To kick off the month, I want to share about a fabulous group I’m a proud member of, the New Jersey Digital Moms. I’ve mentioned the group here and there before in the past and I promise I’ll do a dedicated and more…
