Just Wanted to Say...

In December my computer caught a virus which stopped me from blogging for about a month and a half to two months. I have purchased a new one, I'm back online and I'm ready to blog again. I noticed today, that I have finally reached my 100th blog. -Yay for me! :) There were so many things I wanted to blog about while I didin't have a computer, and now I don't even know what to write. I guess I just have to get back into the swing of things.

Bratz Big Kidz Music Stars

I tried my hardest to catch these dollies on sale this year. I planned to buy four. One for each of the girls. But they were selling out like crazy. My daughters just love Brat dolls. I don't know why. They have big heads, they break much easier than Barbie and they seriously overdue it on make-up. I was happy when MGA came up with the Bratz Kidz Dolls. These dolls don't where as much make-up. What I liked most about these Big Kidz, is that they are NOT dressed in slutty clothes. Although Yasmin's outfit still shows a little tummy, it is much more appropriate than others I have seen on this brand of doll. So anyway, as I searched the net for the new Bratz Big Kidz Music Stars, I could not find Sasha anywhere. I found the Bratz Big Kidz Snap-On Doll Sasha (who's skirt is way too short), but I could not find the Music Stars doll. I checked everywhere I could think of, (in the US) and found nothing. However, while searching the net I found that many stores in the UK ha

Beyonce on Tyra

On Wednesday, Nov. 26th, Beyonce visited the Tyra show. If you missed it, you missed one great hour of television! There were so many moments in the show that touched me. One of my favorite moments was when Tyra introduced a girl that had been diagnosed with MS. When she was first diagnosed she couldn't even walk. She had to start all over. Beyonce made this young lady's dream come true when she walked out on stage to meet her. See the video, it was so touching: My favorite Tyra moments were the Jay-Z-Boy Chair and the secret. As a belated wedding gift, Tyra gave Beyonce a card board Jay-Z-Boy Chair. As the two ladies were about to break for commercial they each stood on one side of the card board Jay-Z and Beyonce playfully told Tyra not to sit too close to her man, it was so funny. The secret, is still a secret. Tyra told Beyonce she was going to tell her a secret that she has been keeping quiet, and she did just that. She left the audience and us at home, wondering what she

Simple, Cranberry Relish (or Jam)

This is my last post until after the Holiday. I will still be reading blogs, and I will check in and comment anyone who leaves me a comment. This is a simple, but delicious Cranberry Relish that I've been making with my children for a few years. The recipe is for Relish, and traditionally, it wasn't supposed to be cooked, but it tastes better that way. I call it Cranberry Jam now. Here is what you need: Fresh Cranberries, Walnuts & 2 Oranges Chop up the Cranberries and Oranges, measure one cup of Walnuts. Pour it all into a pot. Add two cups of Sugar and 1 & 1/2 cups of water. Stir Boil, then simmer. Until it looks like this: Tastes great! Thumbs up mommy! We put some in jars to give to their Grandmas and keep the rest for us. Tastes delicious with Turkey! This is a traditional Cranberry Sauce. If you have made this before, what do you do to jazz up your recipe?

Shopping for a (Good) Winter Coat

I've been in Philly for years and I still can't get over how cold it gets in the winter. N.E. winters are no joke. I'm trying to find a coat that will keep me really warm this winter. So here's what I've found so far: The Belted Wool Coat from Express $108.00. I like the style, but I also like the high collar, that would really keep me warm on windy days. The downside is that it comes in Ivory. I could see my 3-year-old getting sticky candy cane hands on this while we're out. This is the Long Velvet Tie Polyfill from XOXO for $98.00. I love everything about this coat, I just wish there were more color choices, it only comes in black. This Plaid Drop Waist from Baby Phat is cute, but I don't think it would keep me warm. I would buy this if I lived some where down south, like Georgia. Winters weren't too bad when I was there. The Price for this coat: $179.00. This coat I simply loved. This is the Logo Belted Jacket from The House of Dereon. It costs $238.0
