NYE with the kids: If you have young children, look into daytime activities. A lot of museums have special events, some even for free, for kids on New Year’s Eve.

Most Popular New Year’s Resolutions Written by Michelle Rivera

Therefore, I thought it would be helpful to list the most popular New Year’s Resolution according to USA.gov and include the resources they have found to help you achieve your goals in 2012! Drink Less Alcohol Eat Healthy Food Get a...

Hot Holiday Toys For Your Girls & Boys! Pick it or Skip it! Written by Michelle Rivera
Monster High Dolls, “Dead Tired” Cleo De Nile: Daughter of The Mummy! The Price of this toy is: good as I found it for only $12.99, however I think these dolls are hideous and wouldn’t waste a dollar on them. This toy would be great for: no child at any age. This doll sends a negative message to kids. The benefits of this toy seems to be: Nothing. I understand that these dolls are supposed to be monsters, but I find it just gross and disturbing that Cleo De Nile: Daughter of The Mummy, has limbs that can come off!...

Our Dog Monty Can’t Wait For Christmas! Written by Michelle Rivera
I was washing dishes in the kitchen this morning when I heard our dog Monty whining incessantly. When I saw him whining at the entry gate that closes off the formal living room I decided to grab my cell phone video cam and record what it was exactly that he wanted. This is what I caught on video and it’s hilarious. Let’s just say that Christmas is not just for our kids, it seems our dogs love it just as much too. httpv://youtu.be/cYUVCvTcnLg
