Broccoli Skeptic – Takes The Plunge

Posted by: queenbee950 on: August 14, 2009

My husband ate 3 pieces of brocoli at dinner this evening (deep breath).  He doesn’t like too many veggies, cucumbers, lettuce, tomatoes, maybe carrots (raw) but definitely not brocoli.  Have you ever been in such shock that you couldn’t talk or move.  I thought that a body-snatcher kidnapped him but he actually is starting to [...]

Are There Hot Lesbians In Real Life?

Posted by: queenbee950 on: July 23, 2009

Ok, it’s Sunday and my family goes to Portillos for dinner.  As I look around taking in the people and establishment I happened on to 2 women having dinner.  It looked like they had just played softball – they were dressed in t-shirts, sweats pants and sneakers.  Their hair was cut short in the most [...]

7 Years Old and Lippy As Ever

Posted by: queenbee950 on: July 15, 2009

Tomorrow is Jx’s 7th birthday.   It absolutely amazes me that I gave birth to his little angel face and he is still growing and thriving.  Ok, enough of the gooey stuff.  Us moms with 7 year olds seem to be trapped in an “I WANT” OR “NO” PHASE OF expression that is throwing us moms [...]

This week the Queenbee 950 is going to recommend the Shark Steam and Go Mop.  This little and light weight mop heats up in 30 seconds and steams up the most sticky or disgusting things on my floors. I would like to put in an exclaimer that I have pets, a small child and a [...]

QueenBee950’s– Things I Love: My Dyson-Spider Logic

Posted by: queenbee950 on: June 26, 2009

I am not new to Dyson; I’ve had mine for 7 years now.  I can remember arguing (I mean discussing) why we should buy a plastic vacuum versus a metal vacuum with my husband; why do men think that heavier is better?  As I type this I realize that this isn’t always a bad thing [...]

Queen Bee’s Most Favorite Things – Latisse Eyelash Tonic

Posted by: queenbee950 on: June 19, 2009

The Girlie Girl code of awesome things competes with Ms. Oprah Winfrey but we definitely bow down to the Queen.  Our favorite things are priced to attract the everyday gal that doesn’t make millions of dollars and has to spend the discretionary income on diapers, soccer shoes and swimming lessons for the kids. This being [...]

Posted by: queenbee950 on: June 9, 2009

Dear dog lovers, Have you ever come home with a cute toy for your fur babies then discover the next day that it has been demolished and has to go to the garbage can? Or even better is that for some odd reason (who knows what goes on in their cute and fluffy heads) but [...]

Oprah’s Effect on the Real Housewives of Illinois

Posted by: queenbee950 on: June 2, 2009

If you aren’t sure what the Oprah effect is, it is the modern day Midas Touch. If Oprah likes your product, your cause or even your personality you are going to reap the rewards that come along with this greatness. CNBC did a story on this last weekend (you can find it on hulu) and [...]
