Mommy Musings

I am also linking up with Andrea today for 2 on Tuesday! It is such a good topic this week I just had to join in!  Today's topic is: What are your two favorite hair products. Okay now the first thing you need to know about me, is that I am no longer a natural blond....I'll let that sink in a minute.  I had blond hair as a kid, but it slowly got darker as I got older.  But I really hate dark hair on me, so I've been going light, pretty much ever since.  And well, that much bleach on a person's hair can really wreck it.  Hence the short hair right now...I had to just chop off all the dead ends and start again.  So I am constantly looking for great conditioners to help repair the damage.  Alternatively, if you do not want to spend money on hair treatment products, a cosmetology school  can teach you how to make homemade hair treatments using egg, sour cream, and lemon juice. The two I have found to work best so far are these: Pantene beautiful lengt...

I haven't done this in a while, but I'm excited to be linking up with Andrea for her 2 on Tuesday!! Today's topic is: What are your two go-to meals? One of my new favorite recipes {which I'm actually making tonight, is based off a recipe I found here .  It is for Sausage and Peppers.  Here is my version of it: 1 package of sausage {I prefer hot} 1 green pepper {chopped} 2 sweet onions {chopped} Extra virgin olive oil salt pepper garlic powder tomato sauce rolls, rice, potatoes, etc...just something to serve it with 1. I prick the sausage with a fork and put it into a skillet I had already put some olive oil in.  Keep turning until they are nice and crispy...about 8 minutes.  Then move the sausages to an oven safe dish. 2. Put the cut up onions and peppers into the same skillet and cook until either slightly crunchy still or totally mushy {the way Skip and I like it} 3. Towards the end of the cooking process, add some salt, pepper, and garlic powder.  I just kin...

I'm linking up with Andrea again this week for her 2 on Tuesday! Today's topic is: What are your pet peeves? { I'm warning you now...I definitely have more than two of these! 1. Drivers who cut you off and then drive reeeeaallllyyyy slowly.  This is Jersey people...we drive fast and have places to go! 2.Word Verification on blog posts...I know, I've been just terrible with commenting recently, but when I do have time to write a little something, I don't want to have to go through this whole long process to do it. 3. Moms who act superior to other moms and that their way of doing things is the best.  Let's be honest....none of us really know what we're doing.  We constantly second guess decisions we're making...we don't need other people telling us we're wrong too. 4. Any kind of precipitation.  I am really only happy when it is sunny and warm.  I really should move down south. 5. Bloggers and Tweeters who write things just to get attention, unne...

Time for another 2 on Tuesday with Andrea today!!    Today's topic is: What are your two favorite pictures of yourself? {and yes I am aware it's supposed to just be two pictures....guess I'm not that good at following the rules!} Skip's sister snapped this without us knowing.  We were packing up my car to take him to Pennsylvania to begin his pre-deployment training.  It's my absolute favorite picture of us I don't think much needs to be said about why I love this picture My very first belly picture ever.  Spring 2008 - pregnant with Little M and still suffering from morning sickness! My final belly picture ever.  Taken at 39 weeks 1 day with Baby C First picture with both my daughters.  My heart is full You know what's funny....none of these pictures are really all that flattering of me.  But they capture such happy, wonderful moments in my life that I never want to forget. What are your favorite pictures of yourself?

I'm linking up with Andrea again for 2 on Tuesday! Today's topic is What were your two favorite childhood toys?  I was so excited for this topic.  It was so fun to think back to all the fun toys I played with and reminisce for a bit!  It was tough, but I did manage to narrow it down to two.  The first was this: Does anyone else remember these fashion plates???  I loved them!!  You could switch out the plates to make endless fashions!  If only I had these plates with my current clothes on them, it would be much easier top put together an outfit! My second favorite toy was this doll: This was my "My Child" doll.  I named her Ashley and she had blond hair and green eyes just like me!  I spent HOURS and HOURS playing with her!  She's still in a storage bin in my attic right now...I've got to head up there and bring her down soon so Little M can start to play with her! So what were your favorite toys?

It's time for another installment of 2 on Tuesday with Andrea !   This week's topic is "What two television shows that have gone off the air do you miss?" The first show I miss is Lost.  Now I didn't watch it when it was live on the air....Skip and I started watching it about a year ago on Netflix and watched the whole series in just a few months.  We absolutely loved it though and I'm so sad I'm not getting my weekly Sawyer fix! The second show that I miss is Lois and Clark: The New Adventures of Superman. I'm not normally into comic books or superheroes but I LOVED this show!  It hasn't been on in years, but I still miss it!  Thankfully the whole series is on Netflix so I can watch it anytime I want! So what shows do you miss that aren't on air anymore?

I'm excited for another week of 2 on Tuesday !  This week Andrea gave us two topics we could choose from, so I decided to do both!  The first is Many fall shows are starting up again this week. What two shows are you most looking forward to? The two fall premiers I am most looking forward to are Grey's Anatomy {I am sad that it is Patrick Dempsey's last season though.  I also heard a rumor that Ellen Pompeo might leave after this season as well.  I think if that happens they should just end the show.  I *love* it, but would rather it went out on top rather than start to go down the crapper.} and The Biggest Loser {Though it's been getting a little weird the last few seasons.  We'll see what happens with Jillian gone now} The other topic today is What two cleaning products make your life easier? 1. One of my favorite cleaning products, specifically for the bathroom, is Scrubbing Bubbles.  With one bathtub/shower to share among four people {and sometimes...

I'm linking up again this week for My Chihuahua Bites for this weeks 2 on Tuesday.  Today's question is: If you were stranded on a deserted island, what two items would you wish to have with you? First off I'd make sure to have my I Pod touch {with Internet access of course}   Music, twitter, Facebook, blogs, I'd be set for weeks! And the second thing I'd want on the island?  Sawyer from Lost of course! Strictly because of his experiences with deserted islands...of course ;) So what about you?  What two things would you want?

Today I'm linking up with My Chihuahua Bites ! for 2 on Tuesday!  This week's topic is your two favorite things about fall. Now I don't really like the fall all that much.  I'm definitely more of a spring/summer girl.  But I cannot help to get excited every year over these to things The first is of course, FOOTBALL!!!  None of that college madness...just pure, hardcore, NFL Football.  More specifically, the New York Giants!! photo from google.com The other thing I love about the fall? Boots!  Tall, short, rain, riding, brown, black, grey, I love them all! I pretty much live in them from late September until March. So what are you loving this fall?
