Matched in Manhattan - Brand New Lifetime TV Show That'll Have You Hooked!

I know I'm married and have two kids, but I have to admit, I am a sucker for dating shows.  I love everything about them - from making over a geeky looking girl to look like a babe, to those awkward first meetings, to love at first sight - there's nothing like a good old fashioned dating show to get some tips on how to attract a guy - or keep your current guy still interested.  That's why I can't wait for the premiere of Matched in Manhattan on Lifetime this Friday, January 4 at 9:30 pm ET.   The show features relationship expert and dating coach Matt Titus along with his wife, Tamsen and their friend Eddie as they attempt to match hopeless New York City singles in search of Mr. Right.  Matt offers some great tips on how to attract your mate, where to find him and how to clear out your apartment (or love shack) so that you don't scare him off.  So get ready - and have your date night in front of the tube this Friday night...you'll be glad you did!

Moving to a New Neighborhood? Check out Street Advisor.com!

If you're looking to move to a new city or town with your family, wouldn't it be great to find out if the neighbors on the street where you're contemplating buying a house or apartment were actually friendly? Or, if the area has some great restaurants or shopping options for you and your family? Or if it's a really busy street even if you didn't notice the traffic whizzing by when you were at that open house? Well, there's actually a new site called Street Advisor that features real opinions from people living in the neighborhoods you may want to live in. Just enter in the block you want to find out about, and Street Advisor will instantly tell you if people in the area have shared their personal comments about how they really feel about living on that street. And, if you're currently living somewhere that you love, or loathe, feel free to visit the site to share your opinions about your neighborhood too. There must be a reason why you want to move...so let other people know the truth before it's too late! By the way, I happen to love my block so I'll be visiting Street Advisor soon to spread the love about New Rochelle! To return to Role Mommy, click here.

The Flip Video Camera & One True Media

I just discovered the coolest video camera that anyone, including your kids can use.  It's called the Flip and it's smaller and lighter than a regular camera, shoots video that are surprisingly great quality and, now here's the best part - when you want to screen the video, there's a USB connector attached to the camera - which means you'll never lose it and you can instantly download the video right onto your computer and then send it to friends and family.  And, if you want to visit a site where you can edit the video easily, add music, special effects and then upload it to YouTube or blogger or even your Tivo, then visit One True Media where you can easily create the coolest videos featuring you and your family.  Best part of all about the Flip - it's surprisingly inexpensive.   Check out the latest video I created in a matter of minutes - it's called The Ice Picker and it's pretty funny if I do say so myself!

The Easiest Muffins Under the Sun

For those of you that are loyal Role Mommy subscribers, you may know that I am averse to baking.  I hate the mess, the disastrous results from a cooking expedition gone awry and pretty much dissuade my kids from joining me in the kitchen to bake cookies because I despise the clean-up.  I've also burnt lots of cookies and cupcakes in my day but that is until now!  I've just discovered Betty Crocker's Chocolate chip muffin mix.  All you have to do is grease your muffin pan, pour the package in a bowl, add water, mix it together, pour the contents into the muffin pan, and within 20 minutes, you have delicious muffins that are only 150 calories a pop!  

I can't tell you how surprised my husband and my daughter were to walk into the kitchen and see that I actually baked something from semi-scratch - but alas, I did it!  Who knows, maybe I'll give cupcakes a whirl next - as long as Betty has a version that's the same as this miraculous muffin recipe, I'm game!  If you're in the mood to bake but don't have time for the mess or the stress, then visit Stop and Shop or Fresh Direct and pick up a batch.  Your kids and your hubby will be amazed by your newfound baking skills!  To return to Role Mommy, Click Here.
